The Harry Potter ride at Universal. The line goes through Hogwarts and so you're never in the same place for more than a few minutes and the ride itself had so many different factors that made it great.(11 votes)
I will never forget Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey @ Universal Studios in CA
The ride system is spectacular! Very innovative and never seen before.
Guests are immersed in the story of the movies from the waiting line and through all the ride. Thrills are so aligned to the original story you saw in the movies and the 3D screen experience makes you feel you are part of it.(9 votes)

This isn't from Disney but I liked the Harry Potter flying cabinet one because it took me through the Hogwarts castle during the waiting line and used a big screen and special effects to make it seem like I was actually journeying with Harry.(3 votes)
I will never forget the Haunted Mansion. I remember it because of tis slow and atmospheric look and pacing. The guests were immersed in the story by making them the witnesses to the supernatural goings on. Thrills were created by building up to the moment and then the reveal. The stories and thrills related to each other because they were both tied to the guests.(3 votes)- i remeber because of the picture.(3 votes)
