[oakleycat]

1. Haven't been on GotG but TOT was my favorite
2. RSR
3. Screamin'
4. Grizzly
5. Soarin'

I'm with everyone who loves Heimlich, that was my son's absolute favorite as a toddler and we ride it every time for the memories!

 

[MkaMouse]

Haven't tried the new GoG yet, so:

1. RSR
2. Soarin'
3. Little Mermaid (don't judge me...)
4. Goofy's Sky School (makes me laugh the whole time)
5. Mickey's Fun wheel (of death)

I second your vote for Mickey's Fun Wheel as a top 5! It's amusement and terror rolled into one!

 

[Jedi Mouse]

The order might change from visit to visit, but my top 5 are:

Radiator Springs Racers
Soarin' Over the World
Grizzly River Rapids
California Screamin'
Mickey's Fun Wheel - Moving Cars

I was only able to ride ToT once and enjoyed it, now that my kids are older and are huge GotG fans I'm looking forward to Mission Breakout when we head to the parks in July.

Seeing as how the counterpart to this thread has surfaced, I thought I would update mine to include my new favorite attraction at DCA; Guardians!

1. GotG HANDS DOWN!!
2. California Screamin- such a smooth, awesome roller coaster
3. RSR because of the immersive experience of it
4. Grizzly (but only on a hot day)
5. Soarin- bonus points if I get front and center seating!

 

[Sith]

This is a much easier list to make than the Disneyland one.

1. RSR
2. Grizzly River Run
3. California Screamin'
4. Toy Story
5. GOTG- I haven't actually ridden this one yet, but I'm positive it will be a favorite after I do. I loved Tower of Terror, and the ride videos I've seen for GOTG look awesome!

 

[Steven G]

1. Gotg for sure
2. Screamin
3. Little mermaid
4. Heimlich
5. RSR

Based on my last visit in 2015:

1. ToT - agree with others this was the perfect ride. Supreme theming, a terrific story, and made me laugh like no other ride.
2. Screamin' - excellent coaster with the music really making it. Rode it once with no sound and it became just a regular coaster. Special moment with my then 9yo finally getting her on it.
3. RSR - was #1 for a while and still a top quality attraction.
4. Toy Story - we missed this one completely our first visit but made up for it with a vengeance in subsequent trips. 4 times back to back during EMH, limited only by our aching arms!
5. Maters - another one that gets multiple rides a visit.

I haven't done GotG, but didn't do ToT because it didn't interest me (drop rides don't usually). In fact, only our DD10 wanted to do ToT, no one else did. Now that it's GotG, all of us want to try it, so the theming has definitely made a difference for us and we haven't even ridden it yet!

That being said, of the rides we HAVE done in DCA, here are my (so far) top 5:

Racers. 'Nuff said!
Soarin'. I didn't do California, just the new one, but it was awesome nonetheless.
Mater. Makes me laugh so hard each time.
TSMM. Love how there's games within the game. And the theming at the end is so sweet.
GRR should be on my list for sure. I think I had Monsters Inc in the other thread. Both of them I love though... so it'll have to be a tie.

 

[Frozen2014]

1. Radiator Springs Racer - best ride in both parks! So much fun and themeing is amazing
2. Soarin - loved this at DL...and they added smell too (so cool!)
3. Toy Story
4. Mater Junkyard - my kids and I are laughing throughout it
5. Monsters Inc - cute...love the movies
6. Little Mermaid - my daughter's first ride at WDW so has a special place (similar at DCA)

Didn't ride Guardians but my son gave it a big thumbs up.

[momtohms]

1. CA Screamin'
2. GRR
3. RSR
4. Guardians (haven't ridden yet, but I'm assuming I'll enjoy it like I did ToT!)
5. TSMM

 

[GatorChris]

1. Gotg for sure
2. Screamin
3. Little mermaid
4. Heimlich
5. RSR

Glad to see someone threw in Heimlich! I've always loved the theming of that ride from the very first time I went to DCA. It's always captured the true Disney "dark" ride experience....even though it's not dark.
