Best Disney Coaster

In your opinion, what is the best Disney coaster? I would probably have to go with either Expedition Everest or Rockin' Roller Coaster.

Haven't been on any of those...

But of the Disney coasters I've been on, I'd say they're all about equal. Each is really cool and fun in its own way.

I just think it's still amazing how the second longest steel roller coaster in the country is at Disney's California Adventure!

POV is bad

Of the Disney coasters I've been on (just the Florida ones) I'll go with Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at the Magic Kingdom. While Expedition Everest is really cool for what it is.. it just seems to end too soon for how big it is. Thunder Mountain seems like more of a "solid" ride to me.

I was soaking in rain on Expedition Everest so I didn't care for my one ride on it or even to return for another. I like Rock n Rollercoaster the most but for it's lack of an ending like Joker's Jinx/Poltergeist/Flight of Fear I prefer the Premier Spaghetti Bowl coasters. California Screamin' I was ok with.

I've only been on the Florida ones as well, and my favorite would have to be Expedition Everest. I love the entire backwards part and the Yeti is awesome, even if you only get to see it for a second.

It's really hard to pick though, I love pretty much everything Disney.

I was cool with the Thunder Mountain Railroad experience with the theming and coaster in 1995 and 1999 in Orlando, but when I finally went to Disneyland in 2006 I focused just on the coaster sections with the multiple lifts. I didn't care for that. I totally avoided it in Orlando when I went this past October.

For some reason I preferred Gadget's Go Coaster over Goofy's Barnstormer. It's the same model. I guess it's just my preference for the chicks.

I've wondered if Muholland's Madness and Primeval Whirl were just slaps on the face for the admission I paid to those parks. I was only able to do Muholland's.

I would say either Space Mountain at Disneyland Paris, or Expedition Everest. Both of them are fun in unique ways.

Everest! Rock-N-Rollercoaster is cool, but Expedition Everest in the front row is simply delicious!

I would have to go with Big Thunder Mountain RR. The coaster is fantastically themed and flows well. has some good speed. Thing is I haven't been on Expedition Everest or Rockin' Roller Coaster.

Mentioning Gadgets go coaster to Goofy's Barn Stormer, I think Gadget has a real theme while Goofy is sort of jsut there. there is some theming but not to the extent of gadget's go coaster.

I finally got to ride Space Mountain for the first time in October so I give the old version of the ride props as it sails into rehab in Orlando. I missed new Space Mountain Disneyland by 10 days when I was there in 2006.

I've only been on the Florida coasters as well, I'll go with EE and Space Mountain. Space Mountain is just a really cool ride to me. I never get tired of it. Everything from the theming to something as small as the music always impresses me.

EE is just fantastic with lots of cool elements.

Big Thunder is very good, too, but I feel like some portions of the ride are just of there and aren't very exciting.

I would have to say Expedition Everest. Amazing themeing for an amazing coaster. No matter where i sit it's always a great ride but i'd prefer to ride up front.
