JtA is a unique ride that has been allowed to fall into a pretty bad state, but in the end it's just a flume and coaster bolted together, albeit in an entertaining way.
Spidey however is/was a true game changer that even Disney haven't manged to match yet. Spidey FTW!
First vote!
Is this even a contest?
Spiderman = perfect.
Atlantis = cheap and confusing.
I can usually forgive crappy theming if the thrills suffice (e.g. Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls), but Atlantis doesn't pack either. Epic fail.
Also, at least two people out of 26 have voted for Atlantis. Robert - could you figure out their IP addresses and contact their local insanity asylums?
Spiderman is just to good,the best ride at IOA.
Undoubtedly Spiderman. The best, and probably most unintentionally humorous part of Atlantis is the theme from Beetlejuice being the soundtrack for the exciting part.
I <3 Spider-Man!
JtA is fun, but spidey is the best theme park attraction in the country.
Minor complaint: The passthrough link for "Journey to Atlantis" is going to "Kraken", not "Journey to Atlantis"
Spidey is still the besst there is and JTA which was once a very good ride needs some work. No contest.
Spider-Man is by far and away the better attraction, but Journey to Atlantis still holds its weight and is great fun.
The Busch fans must be out in full force - 27% for Journey? Come on, really?
Atlantis is a really good ride. However, it is no contest when it is put against the greatest Universal attraction ever created.
