    [Question] Which FL dark rides are a must ride?

    Hey everyone. Although I have gone to DL many times in my life.. I never seemed to really get to see most of the park. Just last year I first rode all the mountains and indy! I used to be terrified of such rides and would only go on casey jr, small world, star tours, dumbo and some other various attractions.. I never ever have been on any dark ride in FL besides Peter Pan.. and I barely went on that last trip! I am trying to make sure that I ride all of the "better" attractions first.. and with my limited access to the park.. this might take me several years.. but.. In your opinion, which rides should I try to make it on next time? Which are the better dark rides? And.. Is nemo worthwhile? 'Cause I waited four hours to get on it once and still never did! (Haven't tried again since..)

    For me it's Alice in Wonderland. Everyone has a different opinion, but all 5 are worthy of riding if not for their greatness but for nostalgia alone.

    Here's my order:

    Alice
    Mr.Toad
    Peter Pan
    Pinocchio
    Snow White

    Nemo is worth it if you've never been on it and the lines are always under an hour now.

      Well, I like all of them, because... I'm a dork like that :blush: But my order would be...
      Alice
      Peter Pan (Though if you've been on it before, and not the others, I suppose it can be at the bottom...)
      Pinocchio
      Snow White
      Mr. Toad.
      And yeah, Finding Nemo is pretty cool, and as for the lines... I just bring my NDS and a good game, and I can wait for quite some time. The lines have been dying down now, anyway, so go for it!

        None of them are must-rides for me personally, but other people may feel very differently. They're just not really my thing. I've grown to appreciate them more and more, though...Snow White is Disneyland's original scary ride, Pinocchio is weird and eerie, Mr. Toad is claustrophobic in an exciting way, Peter Pan is configured uniquely and offers the most charming and pleasant experience, and Alice in Wonderland...well, it's been a long time since I rode that one.

        If I could choose one to ride right now, I'd probably either pick Alice (finally) or Snow White.

          The three best in Fantasyland are Peter Pan, Mr. Toad and Alice. I also like Snow White cuz its scarier than the Haunted Mansion!

            In Fantasyland? The east siders: Peter Pan, Mr. Toad, and Alice.

              Kittiekyo, your original post is a little confusing. It sounds like you are asking about Florida's dark rides, but then you mention Nemo, which they don't have in Florida--well, at least not Nemo subs.

              Anyway, at Disneyland Park, when it comes to dark rides, nothing beats Peter Pan.

                I agree, some clarification please. We do have a dark ride Nemo at Epcot which what she may be referring to but then you talk about DL and put it in the DL section. As DL has some different dark rides from FL I'm a little confused which side of the country your referring to.

                But my picks, for both:

                DL:

                Alice
                Toad
                Pinocchio
                Peter Pan
                Pooh

                WDW:
                Peter Pan
                Snow White
                Pooh
                Nemo

                  PETER PAN

                  Even though it always has a long line

                  If you had ridden the old subs then the nemo subs I think isn't as good as the old subs. If it's 30 minute wait then wait for it but don't wait an hour

                  And if your clostrophobic don't go on it. We went on it and there was this clostrophobic lady next to us and when they closed the hatch she told the captatin she had to get out of there. She was on the opposite side of the exit too. It took another ten minutes to get the sub onto the ride

                    If you're willing to stay late, the line for Nemo dwindles down to essentially nothing. I saw no one waiting last night around 11:00.

                        I think the "FL" stands for FantasyLand, not Florida.

                        My choice:

                        Snow White
                        Peter Pan
                        Pinnochio
                        Alice
                        Mr. Toad

                          Yes, I am talking about Disneyland.. I have no intention of finding anything out about WDW because I will most likely never get to see it..But anyhow! Are you able to hold your child on your lap in these rides?

                            Kittiekyo, it depends on the age of the child, But if it's the cutie in your avatar, yes, you can hold your child on your lap.

                                My personal favorites are Alice, Mr. Toad, and Snow White. Ride Toad first, it will have the longer line, then Alice and Snow.

                                  Alice is # 1 in my book. If you can go on the Haunted Mansion Holiday then that's my favorite dark ride EVER!
                                  Happy Halloween!!!
