The success of IASM and the Peoplemover/TTA here is a great reminder that as much as folks say they want fast thrill rides, Disney does long, slow high-capacity attractions better than anybody else. I'm 46 years old and I had the stupidest grin on my face being back on IASM this year. Yes, the Sherman Brothers get stuck in your head, but there is SO MUCH going on for 15 full minutes that you only get bored if you're determined to have a bad time.

Illuminations vs. Indy feels like a pretty quintessential WDW fan vs. DL fan kind of vote. You're probably going to have some deep emotional attachment to one or the other (Illuminations gets my vote!).

Ha, yeah. I can appreciate the craft behind Indy and enjoyed it a lot, but my former Orlando-native self misses Illuminations enough that I had to vote for it.

I forgot to vote yesterday but very upset Buzz lost. At least it wasn't by one vote!

Looks like I'm in the minority that prefers aliens and light blasters over representations of children singing a relentlessly upbeat melody. I can live with that.

Slinky Dog Dash is a way better coaster than it has any tight to be. Based on where it is and what it pooks like it seems like it's gonna be a kiddie coaster but it's very much not

Agreed. Had to give Slinky the vote over Jungle Cruise. Jungle Cruise can hit or miss based on your skipper, and Slinky Dog Dash never misses. Simple as that for me.
