Favorite Attraction Theming??

disney-fan-forever · 07-03-2005, 12:38 AM

OK, Disney is known for it's themeing. But, what is the attraction with the best theming in DCA? What do you think?

My two are:

Grizzly River Run
Tower of Terror

I like the Tower of Terror Theming. Too bad I almost passed out the last time I tried to go on it and now I can't go on anymore!

I like the whole backwoods area. That little camp place is cool. And I think Soarin' does a good job with the theming too.

I'll go with the 'great outdoors' area of Golden State, encompassing Grizzly River Run and the Redwood Challenge Trail. The area's theme is so pervasive, from the faux 'road' as the path, to the various billboards and road signs. The theming is all encompassing, and with the amazing landscaping, it's quite easy to forget you're in the middle of L.A.!

the atmosphere created in tower of terror is brilliant. the music and everything really gets you in the proper mood to enjoy the ride. and i also absolutely love the creepy cellar part of the queue... creeped me out a lot when it was my first time.

The best themeing of all time could quite possibly be a bathroom done up like a street in San Francisco.

I love the TOT theming and Soarin and GRR are second.

Wendy Darling · 07-08-2005, 02:22 AM

Yea, it would be hard to out do the whole TOT thing...the only thing that I feel comes close is GRR. I think that the creepy feeling of TOT is more over powering than anything else.

Dr.Phibes02 · 07-08-2005, 07:21 PM

Tot sets such a creepy vibe, and continues it throughout the ride very well without letting up (unless you include that shop at the exit)

I would have to say TOT, Soarin, and Grizzly would be my favorite. The first time I went on Soarin it was about 8 months after my dad past away. He was a WWII Aircorp Vet, and it was a bit emotional for me because all the aeronautic memorbilia reminded me of my dad. Now every time I go on Soarin it still reminds me of dad but in a good way.

As most others have said, my favorite theming would also be ToT. It's just so detailed and a delight to walk through.

I like tower of terror, but i think the best theming is in the GRR area and the condor flats area.

Comming in First is Tower of Terror. I really appreciate that the Imagineers took the time to retheme the side of the Animation Building to look more like how it would have looked back in the 1939 (w/ the Silly Synphony billboard, and the old fashioned windows). Add that to the vintage posters all over the Hyperion area, and you feel like your back in time. Once you pass by the official Tower Gates though, the rest is history.

Comming in Second is the Grizzley Peak Recreation Area. I love how they built little walkways around the mountain, allowing you to take in the scenery, and the sights. Perhaps one of the most effective things i noticed was in the transition from Condor Flats to the recreation area.... the whole highway "scenic route" i think works very well, and the Food/Lodging sign ties in the whole hotel quite nicely.

I tink The Tower of Terror is the best line themeing in all of the Disney Parks

Lion Sleeps Tonight · 07-13-2005, 02:10 PM

Strong words. What about the Indiana Jones theme? That's pretty awesome as well.
