alpengeist04 Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 Since Disney is out of the equation, it fairly easy for me. ...Most of the rides at IOA and USF.
tigana Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 The best movie rides of all time: #1 - Star Trek: The Experience (Klingon Encounter) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZblaPG9DNw&feature=channel_page #2 - Alien War London http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22GFM-Ni0YA&feature=channel_page #3 - Back to the Future the Ride http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtQvR76VfpE&feature=channel_page #4 - Terminator 2: 3D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHKxIrfybWQ&feature=channel_page
Team Thriller Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Everything at Phantasia land are easily the best themed rides... --james
Speeddeamon128 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 My favorite themed ride is Revenge of the Mummy at Universal Orlando. The coaster is self isn't all that great but I love the theming put into it.
Electerik Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Even leaving Disney in it, for my money, the best/most completely themed ride, from start to finish, is Men In Black: Alien Attack at USF. It has multiple levels of theming--even to the degree of the ride being integrated into the park--and they all work by themselves and with each other. You're in the park, you enter an attraction ("The Universe And You") that you then find out is really just a front for the MiB training facility ("sorry about all the phony theme park nonsense"), you begin training (the first part of the ride, with targets), and are then thrust into "the real thing" due to an emergency (animatronic aliens without cheesy targets on them). At the end, your memory is blanked, and you're dumped back into "The Universe And You" and back into the park. Also, it has the best onride photo set up ever. /Never worked there. Was just always impressed by the theming.
CreditCrazy Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 1. Disney rides... ... ... ... Far far far below... ... ... ... Probably Batman: The Ride @ SFMM. It has a nice line and station. Very good for a SF park.
TheHulk Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 From the themed rides I've been on, I'd have to say Men In Black Alien attack, and The Jurassic Park River Adventure in Orlando. I've never been to the Hollywood one.
Top Thrill Dragster Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 1. Indian Jones Adventure- Disneyland 2. Tower of Terror- MGM 3. Jurassic Park River Adventure- UHS ( Animatronics need an upgrade, but still a great ride) 4. Pirates of the Caribbean- Disneyland 5. Splash Mountain- WDW
HatetoFLY Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Since I cant pick one I will list three in no particular order. Spiderman Tower of Terror-DHS Dueling Dragons You have to include spiderman, the theming is unlike anything else out there. Everything from the queue to the story to the amazing sets, the experience is unlike anything you can find. Good Tower was another first on the scene. Anything from the imagineers that includes an out of control elevator that can move forward is a gimme. The dragons are on here because of the back story, the castle...duh, and I mean just look at it. ITS FRIGGIN SWEET!
Thelegendarymatthew Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Volcano and Flight of Fear. They are some of the best themed coasters there.
AviatorCoaster Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I actually really enjoy Pirates of the Caribbean. It's relaxing but in regards to roller coasters, I think Riddler's Revenge at SFMM is my favorite. The music playing in line for the ride always gets me hyped.
atem122 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 ^that's the only ride where the music is good enough to count as theme I go with Space Mountain for best theming, they manage to turn a boring layout into an awesome ride which is hard to do. For most creativity I've gotta go with B:TR I mean it must have taken them years to think of a way to both theme a ride, and get rid of all their useless garbage
bhslhs Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye at Disneyland is my clear cut favorite. For Coaster theming It's California Screamin. The extra supports for the track give it the old beach boardwalk wooden coaster look which is great.
ghost007jas Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Definitely the Haunted Mansion for me, fantastic experience. As far as coasters go, I'd say either Big Thunder, the Revenge of the Mummy or The Matterhorn!
Purplepills Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Leaving out anything Disney (which would be Tower of Terror), I really like Saw at Thorpe Park. Whilst it's fun, it's not the greatest coaster out there, but I think its really cool to have a more adult themed ride. I was impressed by the attention to detail, and I think the whole area looks really good.
Sticky Nicky Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I am going to have to say that Tower of Terror (WDW), Dinosaur (WDW), Indiana Jones (DLR), and Pirates of the Carribean (DLR) (Noticing a pattern!) are my favorite themed rides. Some much incredible detail was and still is being put into these attractions alone make them instant classics.
AlmereStars Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I think that TOT looks great, but i've never seen it in person. I Think Saw The Ride is also themed really well. But from all the rides i've been on. - De Vliegende Hollander, Efteling, Holland. Its just great!! I also really like Big Thunder Mountain at DisneyLand Paris
Rocket Rodder Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Terminator at Universal Studios Hollywood! But I like Jurassic Park also.
AviatorCoaster Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Terminator at Universal Studios Hollywood! But I like Jurassic Park also. That's considered a ride? I'm not being sarcastic, I really want to know haha.
coastercrutchfield Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Dueling Dragons (Dragon Challenge) Probably has one of the best themed queue in the WORLD!
Canobie Coaster Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 My favorite "themed" ride would be Apollo's Chariot and Dueling Dragons. However, in terms of best themes, I love Splash Mountain, Tower of Terror, Test Track, Expedition Everest, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Haunted Mansion a lot.
Kyle Coleman Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Can't go wrong with dueling dragons. They can call it whatever they want but to me it will always be dueling dragons. Spiderman is also awesome.
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Calico Mine Ride at Knott's, especially at Halloween.
imawesome1124 Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 My all-time favorite themed ride is Escape from Pompeii. My favorite themed dark ride is Curse of Darkastle. My favorite themed roller coaster is, of course, Intimidator305!
