Mind Blowing Attractions

[neilhd]

Nearly all of them to be honest. Especially on the first visit - it's hard to put into words when you've never been before, and your experiences are all based on Chessington and Thorpe Park.

To pick a few, almost at random:

Splash Mountain - I'd never been on a log flume like it. Just soooo much better than I ever thought one could be.

Spiderman - Never done anything like that before.

Forbidden Journey - Still haven't done anything like that since!

And recently I've been blown away by both Sheikra in Busch and Manta in SeaWorld. I think Manta is my favourite coaster ever. So smooth

Totally agree.

Mako though is awesome

That launch was break taking

Some brilliant responses here. I'm reading them all and great reliving the feelings

Keep 'em coming folks!

I definitely agree with this. TOT is still one of my all-time favourites.

This might be a bit obscure but Ripsaw Falls at IOA is definitely one for me, never been on such a long water ride with so many different aspects to it and I just think it's amazing - and the fact you get wet at so many different times in the ride rather than just one major bit at the end like most other water rides. Absolutely love it and don't think there's anything really like it!

First time in Disney at age 30 with my fiancee in 2017.

Mind was blown in the following order

1. Flight of Passage
2. Soarin
3. KSC - When the shuttle is revealed for the first time
4. Seeing Volcano Bay for the first time
5. Riding KoOkiri Body Plunge
6. Rock n Rollercoaster - I had no idea what to expect and it was brilliant
7. Falcons Fury

Soarin was just stunning!

Loved TOT so much did it 3 times in a row.

Pixar Short Film Festival at Epcot rarely gets a mention here but if you're an animation lover the 4d film is stunning!

First time in 2000.

Back to the Future ride at Universal blew me away. While I preferred WDW (and still do), that was definitely the most memorable ride.

Alien Encounter was the most intense ride I have done, hoowever I don't think it really fitted with the rest of WDW ambience.


Last visit (2017) - has to be Flights of Passage. My OH who had never been to Disney before was like a big kid on it and his first words on finishing were "Let's do it again!" (Luckily we had another FP+ in a couple of days!)
