For me a list of rides I don't like would be much shorter. That's the beauty of Orlando - so many different rides which are fun for different reasons.

But if pushed I'd choose ToT too. The anticipation is always there 'cos you never know which sequence you'll get. When riding once, after the usual thrills and drops, it seemed to have finished, the end of ride movie started to play, then it shot back up again for a couple more drops - brilliant!

In Paris it's Big Thunder Mountain, traditionally our first ride, we make a bee line for it every time. Orlando's version isn't as good, so I'd say Tower of Terror.

Universal - maybe not the best ride, but because of some great memories, Spiderman. We got stuck on it once with a bunch of guys from the Bronx, NY and had such a laugh. As they say here, the craic was mighty! I'll always remember one quip, 'where's spiderman when you need him!'

Seaworld - Mantra, Busch Gardens - front row of Sheikra

Disney World - Tower of Terror. If they try to change it like they did in California I might boycott WDW for a while.

Universal - Spiderman. There is a reason it was voted best Dark Ride in the world 12 years in a row, it's almost perfect.

Seaworld - Mako. Just the most fun I've ever had on a ride, the airtime you get going over the hills makes me laugh every time.

overall - Mako

So many of you are saying Mako at Seaworld, would you mind telling me a bit more about it please?

They were just about to start construction when we were there last in September 2015. We were going to give Seaworld a miss this year, mainly to give more time to Universal and Disney, but now I might be tempted with a day, if I can get a reasonable price.

Universal = Forbidden Journey

Disney = either Toy Story Mania or Rock n Roll RC (hate ToT with a passion, its the only ride that's ever made me cry )

It's just a really fun coaster that is unique in Orlando, 200ft tall, 73MPH and as you can see below the restraint is a clam shell shape which means you feel more free while riding whilst still feeling secure even through the massive airtime you get especially in the back row.



If you've ever been to Portaventura it's a lot like the Shambhala ride there.

I've hopefully included a link POV (of Mako) video below

Another vote for TOT here, its just got everything. Impeccable theming, inside and out, a unique ride that gets you every time.

Special mentions for me go to The Mummy at Universal, im not a Coaster fan at all, much prefer clever, well themed rides. But this is excellent. My third choice would be the Great Movie Ride, probably down to nostalgia but I just love the feel of the exterior and the movie theatre inside and the ride is just a classic for me.
