To get beyond my own personal preferences I surveyed a 100 Disney fans from the ages of 10 to 60. Each had gone to the Disney World more than once. They were to rank the rides on a scale of 1-10 based on how exciting they felt each one is. I did encourage them to try to spread out the scores and give no more than around 3 rides the same number score. Below is the average rankings of how thrilling the group felt each ride was. Obvious trends emerged and their was always a few interesting rankings but the averages leveled them all out and I have to say I pretty much agree with the results.
Here is the data.
