ITS TIME TO TALK ABOUT TOKYO DISNEY AGAIN

1. Space Mountain MK: I would say this roller coaster is some of the most pure and simple fun to have at a theme park. I just love it.
2. Space Mountain, DL: I had some fantastic rides on this, just really good fun and love the Star Wars overlay
3. Expedition Everest: While I do wish that Yeti would swipe at me, it's a great experience with a bit more intensity than most Disney coasters.
4. Raging Spirits: The coaster itself is fine, but it's the theming that makes this experience. Disneysea is just sooo good.
5. CA Screamin: Not amazing but really solid. Long and fun ride that fit very well with its park.
6. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, DHS: Great launch and initial inversions. Theming is weak and meanders too much tho.
7, 8, 9: BTMR, MK, DL, TDL: a bit stop and start but has a few pops of airtime and great theming. Much better at night.
10. Matterhorn: Fantastic at night but also legitimately painful, and I enjoy SLCs...
11. Seven Dwarfs: I like this because of the animatronics and environment but it is far too short and boring mostly

Um, the kids coasters then Primeval Whirl last.

This probably isn't that accurate because it's been about 8 years since I've ridden most of these. Based on my enjoyment at the time.

1. Rock 'n' Rollercoaster HS - My first launch coaster (and honestly first "large" coaster as well) so it blew me away. Launch felt amazing at the time and I enjoyed the inversions. If I were to ride it now? Launch is probably decent but I imagine it's crap after that.

2. Space Mountain MK - Very fun at the time. If I were to ride it now? I'd imagine it'd be pretty jerky and boring.

3. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad MK - Even during the last time I rode it I realized it wasn't too exciting, which means I'd be even more bored if I rode it now.

4. Goofy's Barnstormer MK - It's been almost 15 years since I rode this. Barely remember a thing, which probably means it's crap.

In all seriousness I'd like to give some of these a try again, and I'm missing quite a lot. Would love to try Expedition Everest.

Space Mountain MK is easily my favorite. some is nostalgia as it was one of my first "large" coasters but i also just find it to be good clean fun even if it isn't the smoothest or most comfortable ride.

Matterhorn I really enjoyed as well because it's so similar to space mountain in my mind and there really aren't coasters like those 2 around anymore.

I'm really surprised at all the love for Space Mountain, MK. Went on in year before last and found it really dull and stop/start without any interesting elements. Going back this October so hopefully it'll change my mind.
For me it's :
1. Space Mountain, DP - I really like the launch and the theming of the whole building, it's one of the only things I like about that park
2. Matterhorn
3. Big Thunder Mountain (anywhere, I can't tell much of a difference between them)
4. Space Mountain Tokyo/Disneyland
5. Rock N Roller Coaster HS
Then everything else is kind of the same to me, other than that terrible Goofy coaster that does nothing and ends as soon as it starts. Still haven't done the Chinese parks so no idea how good Tron is.
