[cticket]

EXCELLENT! Thanks for doing this. This is great.

[Datameister]

TSMM ranked overall over Indy? ::shakes head sadly:: Well, they weren't directly compared in a single survey...

Anyway, thanks for posting the results! No huge surprises here, either...

[ni_teach]

TSMM ranked overall over Indy? ::shakes head sadly:: Well, they weren't directly compared in a single survey...

I think that TSMM was as high as it was because it was being compared to other attractions in the DCA not in both parks. Also it's newer and fresher in other people's minds.

[Datameister]

I think that TSMM was as high as it was because it was being compared to other attractions in the DCA not in both parks. Also it's newer and fresher in other people's minds.

Yeah, that's what I figured. People probably tended to score relative to other attractions within the same parks, rather than the whole resort.

[Rocker]

Yeah, that's what I figured. People probably tended to score relative to other attractions within the same parks, rather than the whole resort.

Yeah, but when combined, Pirates is number one! Just remember: new doesn't always mean the best. Sometimes old charmers get in, and they still entertain after all those years.

[Gymfan15]

ToT over Space Mountain? Bunk I say, bunk!

Technically, the DEP shouldn't count as a DCA attraction because it isn't a brainchild of that park, but I guess since it runs there right now it fits. Aladdin is a jewel of a show...I will be so sad to see it leave.

[Datameister]

Yeah, but when combined, Pirates is number one! Just remember: new doesn't always mean the best. Sometimes old charmers get in, and they still entertain after all those years.

Absolutely. Undeniable quality is far more reliable than the diametric forces of nostalgic value and sheer newness.

[Coheteboy]

Keep in mind, all of these scores are out of 4 possible points, which isn't a lot of room to differentiate between anything. If this was done with 5 points, I guarantee you'll begin to see a clearer separation of the good and the bad.

But thanks for putting it together, Bee! It's kinda disgusting to see that many attractions with low ratings. If the score is out of 4, 2.5 would be dead average. Anything below that is below average.

Take a look at your below average attractions:

Flik's Flyers 2.46
Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh 2.37
Sun Wheel (not swinging) 2.33
Gadget's Go Coaster 2.31
King Triton's Carousel 2.29
Autopia 2.24
Francis' Ladybug Boogie 2.22
Dot's Puddle Park 2.21
Heimlich's Chew Chew Train 2.14
Golden Zephyr 2.09
Bountiful Valley Farm 2.00
Jumpin' Jellyfish 1.93
Orange Stinger 1.92
Astro Orbiter 1.91
Maliboomer 1.91
Tuck & Roll's Buggies 1.82
Mulholland Madness 1.81
SS Rustworthy 1.43

[SeaWolf38]

Thanks for bringing us the results! I wasn't quite expecting ToT to be at the top. The rest pretty much fell into where I thought they would be. Great survey!

[aashee]

Great compilation! Thanks Bee, you get a gold star!

[Circarama]

What the crap... no Superstar Limo?

No justice, no peace!

[Polar_Bear]

A lot of DCA blue at the bottom of that list.
