Live 4 Coasters Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Everyone loves a good coaster, but dark rides, water rides, and simulators are also a large part of the theme park industry. So, why don't we share our top 10 lists. What qualifies as a "non-coaster" is pretty much any attraction that tells a story, features water, or has some sort of theme, but does not have roller coaster features. Below is my list, including the parks in which I have experienced them. Notable Mentions: Pirates of the Caribbean (Disneyland and Magic Kingdom), Timber Mountain Log Ride (Knott's Berry Farm), and Jurassic Park River Adventure (Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal's Islands of Adventure) 10) Transformers The Ride 3D (Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Florida) 9) Soarin' (Disney California Adventure and Epcot) 8) The Haunted Mansion (Disneyland and Magic Kingdom) 7) Splash Mountain (Disneyland and Magic Kingdom) 6) Test Track (Epcot) 5) The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man (Universal's Islands of Adventure) 4) The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (Disney California Adventure) 3) Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (Universal's Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Hollywood) 2) Radiator Springs Racers (Disney California Adventure) 1) Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye (Disneyland) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 ^ Okay. I'll bite. I should probably load up on Disney and Universal rides but more likely than not get ready for a bunch of Flumes and Knoebels flats. I'm not counting up charges even though I'm tempted to include skyscrapers and that sick Kissimmee sky coaster. 1) Safari Off Road Adventure (Six Flags Great Adventure) 2) Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (USO) 3) Zoom Floom (Morey's Piers... I'm on a Zoom Floom high after riding the crap out of it yesterday with the fiancé and Boldikus. Lol) 4) Shenandoah Lumber Company (Kings Dominion) 5) Scooters (Knoebels) 6) Pirates of the Carribean (WDW) 7) Flyers (Knoebels) 8) Haunted Mansion (WDW) 9) Amazing Adventures of Spiderman (USO) 10) Giant Flume (Knoebels). I almost said Splash Mountain but I'm a sucker for actual log Flumes so I went with this despite the insane theming of Splash. I'd rather be in a single file log going through the woods. Lol Honorable mention to the chairlift at Lake Compounce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrygator Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) I hops we get a lot of input from Europeans and world travellers on this one, since there are so many unique candidates outside of the US I'll admit, that I'll probably change this when I see what others post and realize what I forgot. 1) Auto Scooters: Knoebels 2) Flyer: Knoebels 3) Pooh's Hunny Hunt - Tokyo Disneyland 4) Journey to the Center of the Earth: Tokyo DisneySea 5) Tower of Terror: Disney Hollywood Studios 6) Room of Living Dolls: Joypolis: 7) Astrosphere: Funtown Splashtown 8) Indiana Jones Adventure: Tokyo DisneySea 9) U571 - Movieland Studios 10) Valhalla: Blackpool Pleasure Beach Edited July 31, 2016 by larrygator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBad Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I tend to do only the coasters, but the two that immediately come to mind are Ripsaw Falls and Popeye at Islands of Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Trying to come up with this list made me realize how much of a coaster enthusiast I am. Trying to come up with my favorite "everything else" took forever. Skyhawk @ CP/Screamin Swing @ Moreys/SSs in general It @ Morey's Zumanjaro @ SFGAdv Apollo @ Dorney Bayern Kurve @ Kennywood Curse of Darkastle @ BGW Demon Drop @ Dorney Skyscreamers (in general) Acrophobia @ SFOG Zoom Phloom @ Moreys bonus: MaXair @ CP edit: I don't think I did this right. Do they have to be themed? Is it not just non-coaster faves? I'm confused. I don't give a sh*t about themeing. That I can tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XII Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hard for me to come up with a list since I usually will divide all the non-coasters up into flat rides, dark rides, water rides, etc. I never thought about just lumping them all together in one list. But here's what I came up with for now. 10. Lex Luthor @ SFMM 9. Transformers @ USH 8. Radiator Springs Racers @ DLR 7. Acrophobia & High Fall @ SFOG & Movie Park Germany 6. Indiana Jones @ DLR 5. Tower of Terror @ DLP (Also at DLR before Guardians of the Galaxy) 4. Fritt Fall @ Grona Lund 3. The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman @ Universal Orlando 2. Test Track @ WDW 1.
