Fans Voted This the Best Ride at Disneyland
The Los Angeles Times recently took a poll, and the results may surprise you. Here’s the ride fans voted as the best at Disneyland!
#1 Ride at Disneyland
“Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me!” That’s right, Pirates of the Caribbean came out on top with the most votes for #1 Disneyland ride.
The LA Times reports that its readers enjoy the attraction’s adventurous theming. In addition, they referenced that nostalgic feeling you get the moment you walk in, via its musty water smell. (Iykyk!)
Humor also played a part in their vote, along with family-friendly thrills. Although the dark ride may be scary for littles, there are only a few, mild drops, making it an enjoyable attraction for various ages.
Runners-Up
Can you guess what came in at #2 in the reader poll? “It’s a world of laugher, a world of tears…”
Music and nostalgia seem to be a running theme with these outcomes because fans chose “it’s a small world” next! Personally, I love this attraction, although some could do without its repetitive soundtrack.
I must admit, I’m surprised at these choices! I’d assume newer, more technologically advanced attractions would come out on top.
Speaking of which, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance tied with Haunted Mansion and the Disneyland Railroad for third place! Indiana Jones followed.
What the Results Say
Clearly, Disney fans love the classics! We can’t say we blame them, as Disneyland, in and of itself, is rooted in sentimental history.
It seems that fans enjoy an immersive, storytelling experience onboard an attraction. Thrills and chills are secondary, at least for this pool of voters.
So, do you agree with this poll? What’s your personal favorite ride at Disneyland?!
