Well, Ive been to several parks around the country (but still have many to see), yet this still is probaly my favorite ride ever. Nothing can ever come as close as this does to immersing you into the world that they have created. I absolutely love the whole experience -- from the dark queue that starts off with the beautiful trumpet piece that they play, and continues as you walk though the dark corridors with that eerie space music around you, then to the loading platform "under the stars"...just all sets it up perfectly. While the actual ride only tops out at 28 mph, almost no one can go the whole way without holding on. The lift sets up the excitement as you see the other cars flying by on either side of you, and then the ride begins as you fly through the darkness (looking forward to that bigger drop at the end). In my mind this is as close as any ride comes to perfection -- for this ride to be so impressive today, 30 years from when it was built, is simply unbelievable...and this will always have the nostaglic value that a ride like TTD will never have.
