Best Ride at MGM - Page 2

LoehnWolf · 11-12-2006, 12:15 AM

I dunno, I guess I will always be partial to Star Tours. Sure its not the most intense like ToT or RRC but being a Star Wars addict I loved the theming of the attraction with the ATAT and speeder bike and the Ewok village and little slice of Tattoine. Ok yes if they updated it a bit it would be even better, but the attraction as a whole including the queue areas gets me everytime.

RNRC! Love the music! Love The Ride. Love everything about it. Plus I like TOT! I find it to be better than DCA's version. Because once you go into the room with the track, you don't know when you are going to drop down.

jharwood · 11-20-2006, 02:48 PM

Considering I'm an American Coaster Enthusiast I'd have to go with RRC, but TOT comes in at a close second.

1. Tower of Terror, hands down. It's an amazing attraction, that utilizes astounding technology and special effects. Add in a classic freefall... hoo yeah.

2. Rock`n`Roller Coaster: It's a fun ride, but it doesn't really compare in my opinion to some of the other serious coasters. Still, the launch is sweet and the Aerosmith audio is nice.

3. Great Move Ride, gotta love that nostalgia. Disney Audio-Animatronics at its best.

well,I've never been to WDW,but I'll say that I think is the coolest is ToT!!

LittleLotte · 11-24-2006, 06:23 PM

I used to love the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Though why did they have to change it to 2 drops..to numerous drops? I know many people love it, though my stomach can not handle that many drops..

I wish they would just keep the rides the same..if people want more of a thrill, then make another ride. Its just not fair to those whos' stomachs can not handle so much movement.

THE BEST RIDE IS THE TOWER OF TERROR !... BUT ROCKEN' ROLLER' COASTER IS ALSO REALLY REALLY GOOD TOO !

AkitaEvita · 12-04-2006, 05:52 PM

Rock n' Rollercoaster, followed by Star Tours, and, even though it's not a ride, Muppetvision 3-d.

I personally don't care for Tower of Terror, I have problems with free fall rides. They scare me. :)

jorgetheviking · 12-25-2006, 11:40 PM

Tower of terror all the way! I love the 5th dimension room.
Why is DCA's version not as good? I was just wondering.

PeoplemoverMatt · 12-26-2006, 01:56 AM

Most people say it's because there is no 5th Dimension Room & no Tower 4 randomized drop sequence. Having ridden both, I preferred DCA's Mirror Scene and Tower 2 non-random huge air time drop sequence by a wide margin. Plus DCA's Tower always has short lines due to DCA's attendance not being exactly eye-popping. What's not to love about that?

No 5th dimension thats my favorite part. I need to find a DCA video.

PeoplemoverMatt · 12-26-2006, 02:46 AM

Odds are you won't find one, and you certainly won't find one here with on-ride filming not allowed. We do not support or encourage the breaking of established rules on Disney rides.

Having ridden WDW's version of Tower of Terror and then riding the one at DCA, I was a little disapointed with the overall theme and of course the missing 5th Dimension Room but I realized that I was missing the main point of the ride, the free-falling.
Not everything can be the exact same as everything else. I'm sure if the DCA version was the exact same as the one at WDW, there would be complaints about how DLR copied WDW. Everything gives off a different experience. If the world was the same, what would be the fun in that.

Plus, I enjoyed the view from DCA's ToT over WDW's. I wish that the Tower could have been angled a little bit more towards Epcot, but it does fit in nicely with the Sunset Blvd. look

Rock`n`Roller Coaster all the way.

MayaHJ7 · 12-29-2006, 02:16 PM

Hi,

I think my favorite is a toss up between (shock and gasp) Tower of Terror and Rockin' Roller Coaster. Great Movie ride is great too! Not a lot to chose from at MGM...I think it's time for a new ride. I couldn't tell you what, but something to spruce it up a little :D

Hugs and peaches,

Maya :)
