I love Kilimanjaro Safari, it’s quite possibly the best proof of concept park attraction of them all (and I say this as a huge Spaceship Earth fan and someone who deeply misses Great Movie Ride)… but it’s not better than Haunted Mansion.

Kilimanjaro Safaris deserves to be in the final four. Haunted Mansions does as well. This is a tough choice.

You gotta make an argument here, my friend. The Final Four for the safaris? I once again have Michael Bluth saying "...her?" in my head right now.

The Safari deserves to be in the final four. The experience, while admittedly variable, is always fun, funny, and adventurous. It’s like Star Tours: TAC but with infinite possibilities of what can happen. You see so many animals, and not in cages or behind walls. The barriers are so well thought out you don’t even notice them. The theming of the queue is not quite up there with Everest, but it sets the mood really well. Plus you have some Jungle Cruise-ish possibilities with your tour guide! It’s almost like the Imagineers took everything that had been learned since the company started, added things they learned in the extensive research trips they took, and made one of the best experiences you can have in a theme park.

...all that, and I am one of the biggest Mansion fans, so I still can’t decide how to vote.

Kilimanjaro Safari might not be flashy enough for some people, but it's no Ann Bland. I had to choose between two of my favorite park experiences today.

Is she funny or something?

I’ve never done the safaris, but my family and I did do the special private safari thing. That was amazing. How can the normal version compare? Anyway haunted mansion is THAT bish.
