It has come to my attention that some other online / bloggy / Journal-eque publication, the name of which escapes me, ran a poll, nay, a tournament to find the best ride in America.
Theme Park and amusement park rides, I suppose that means (but feel free to insert your own smutty joke here).
And the winner, with a full 50% of the over-all votes was . . . Tower of Terror?
Best show script, sure.Best interior queue, love it.
Best use of faux-dust (lobby).
Best, uh, cheesy Rod Sterling impostor?
Don't get me wrong here. I love the ToT and have anywhere from a happy passing knowledge to a "must stand in queue to ride no matter how long it takes" of the rest.
But . . . "The Best Ride in America?" A subject ruling, at best, despite the input from the many readers of that above unnamed online publication.
So, having heard what the theme park insiders over at that other wide spot in the digital highway had to say, how about you, dear dedicated reader (or, at the least, dedicated dialer-up of DeScope.com), what do you as cranky connoisseurs of the creaking fruits of themed design and development have to say on this? C'mon, you ain't a buncha thrill ride fan boys and / or girls (necessarily, anyway)! Like so many others, you've had your brain rewired to the degree that you can't help but to look differently at all things themed, design, and / or developed.
The challenge:
What do YOU think is the best ride out there, overall, and why?
Not only, but also:
What's the best attraction, no matter what you definition if "attraction" might be?What's the best illicit theme park thrill?
The best hot dog on a stick location?
What's the best damned whatever ya wana tell us about?
I'll post whatever comes along that's you know, postable. Got pics / video / audio, too? Send it, send it.
What do I think is the "best ride in America?"
Tell ya later . . .
