What is Your Favorite Themed Ride

[coreysaysyo]

I would have to say that, after visiting California this year, is defiantly Radiator Springs Racers. I just love the Cars movie So I believe this is my favorite themed ride

Indy all the way. Arkham Asylum gets an honorable mention, given that most SLCs don't get any theming beyond the ride sign.

I second this one!

Just about anything Disney. They always do a pretty good job on both the queue and the ride. Probably my favorite would be Expedition Everest.

 

Outside of Disney probably Mummy.

Tough call. I haven't been to Disney and Universal in years. So, I'll have to put my favorite themed ride as either Fire in the Hole at Silver Dollar City or Haunted Mansion at Knoebels.

I have a soft spot for Timber Mountain Log Ride at Knott's... I'd have to tie it with Splash Mountain in FL, I can't decide which I like better.

Radiator's Springs was incredible, the entire Cars area also, the attention to detail was amazing, and the ride was great too!

I agree with this 100%. Disney did a great job with both the area and the ride.

Jurassic Park anyone? Fire in the Hole at SDC, Indiana Jones at Disneyland are pretty good too.

[djcarrell]

Mystery Mine at DW! The Barnstormer barn and surrounding area is also pretty interesting. Monster Mansion at SFOG was also pretty cool and a completely unique experience. When Firechaser opens MM might have to take second!

[rustyinpeace]

I agree that Disney really out done themselves yet again with RSR! But I'm gonna exclude Disney's line-up for now.

 

Having been on much well themed rides outside of Disney, but I have to say the Timber Mountain Log ride at KBF. I really love what was executed with that ride and that fresh look it had. It was tough though, It was either this or Scream! at SFMM. They really went all out with their parking lot experience.

[Coaster Cow]

Not necessarily a comment on my favorite, but I personally liked Dinosaur a lot more than Indy. I felt that Indy wasn't quite as refined/not dark enough to make the effects really pop, and it lacked a coherent plot. Extra points do go out for its queue though. I feel that Dinosaur's darkness, loudness, and simple plot makes the experience much more vivid. Plus, who can resist some of the best dino animatronics around?

[Angle O. Descent]

Cars at Disneyland was absolutely sick... and I hadn't even watched the movie yet

[gerstlaueringvar]

If Outlaw Run counts, then Outlaw Run.

 

If not, a tie between Space Mountain Disneyland and Mummy USH.

Nights in White Satin dark ride, at the long-defunct HRP. Bonus points for riding it 2 minutes after watching the Moody Blues perform the song, live.

[Groteslurf]

I like the Jurassic Parc ride and the area around it at IOA.

[Mr Stratosphere]

I have to say the Tower of Terror rides. They all have a story and it is followed all the way though the experience. Queue and all.

[TPDave]

Pretty much any ride at Tokyo Disney, all the E tickets are absolutely stunning. I'll throw the Teddy Roosevelt bar in as a ride just so it qualifies for this, the theming is brilliant

[GwaziBSRider1]

ET at USF. I absolutely love that ride, and I've yet to see the film!

[Ducky dude]

Iron Rattler at SFFT! That ride is epic! Themed very well too.

[DGRider]

My favorite theme is the Circus theme, and The Friedsam Memorial Carousel is no exception.

[ScreaminNewEngland]

Mummy: USF

[CedarPoint27]

Exterminator at Kennywood. Yes, i know it is a wild mouse and the theming is a little bit cheesy but there is something about this ride i adore. Also i find it to be very unique, the whole idea of a factory being overrun by mice just seems so weird..... but somehow awesome.

[Ryan P.]

I LOVE Towet of Terrors theme. Its so creepy and wonderful!

So ToT is my favorite

 

runners up would have to be:

Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (im sorry im a HP nerd) and

The Mummy.

 

Edit- okay so i guess i should give something non Disney or Universal

 

Verbolten was outstanding! It is fun and adventurous, but it also has an eerie story to accompany the ride.

[DevinC049]

I have a few. Big Bad Wolf, Dragon Challenge, I enjoyed disaster transport when it was around, and also I love the way Black Mamba is themed. Haven't ridden it yet, however.
