Dom, you need to broaden your horizons. Get to some other parks. Bribe your parents. Clean your room. Do what ya gotta do to make it happen.
I'm gonna stay away from roller coasters. My favorites:
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (R.I.P)
Cedar Downs/Derby Racer
Nights In White Satin (R.I.P)
Bayern Kurve (Kennywood)
Haunted Mansion (MK)
Most Log Flumes
Enterprise (generic, but fun)
Pirates Of The Caribbean (MK)
That's just off the top of my head. My brain will explode if I try to think of more, and I don't think the custodian here at work would be happy cleaning up that mess.

Forbidden Journey
Mike, I don't travel much.
Dom watches star wars and dreams he is either a Jedi or Darth vader. He also has star wars pjs and underwear.
I DO NOT HAVE STAR WARS PJS AND UNDERWEAR!!!!
No love for Tower of Terror? :'(
I'm surprised too Bryce. While I'm too much of a chicken to ride it, it's the second highest rated ride on the site.
It's the most amazing ride. Nothing will ever top it in my book. And don't be scared. The story, theming and build up make it worthwhile. The drops aren't even scary!
Rode it 5 times Tuesday!

Dom but you didn't say you don't dream about being a Jedi or Darth vader. ;)
I do dream about being a Jedi or Sith occasionally, but usually it's to kill a celebrity I hate.

"Batman: Adventure", or as it was "Batman: The Ride" at Warner Bros Movie world in Oz, followed by the Bush Beast at the former Australia's wonderland (yes, it was related to Canada's for a while), and Bermuda Triangle at Sea World Australia (may it rise again).
So you do eh, Dom!

Since the big name attraictions are getting most of the credit, I'm going to post my favourites that aren't quite as big name (i.e Haunted Mansion, Harry Potter, Tower of Terror
1)Festival of the Lion King - DAK
2)Fantasmic - DHS
3)Country Bear Jamboree - DMK - Yes I'm going to get hate for this but It has been an attraction that we just cannot skip every year
4) Mainstreet Electrical Parade - DMK - I dont know if this happens anymore but it was a family favourite whenever it was around

I heard Mean Streak is running much better this year, Carrie. After my first CP visit in the early 90's, it was actually my favorite coaster (then again, so was Son Of Beast later..shows how much *I* know)
Looks like I'm gonna take a quick jaunt to Cedar Point and kennywood in mid-September, so I'll see for myself.
Mike,
It's gotten better but it still likes to "jump" a lot from the last trip we made. It's rough but that's what makes woodies so much more fun!
I think the rapids came first
My 3 favorite Intamin coasters are Maverick, Millennium Force, and Top Thrill Dragster (no order, really, and yes, maybe I like CP too much) 3 Favorite B&M are Diamondback, Manta, and Hulk. My favorite woodies are Thunderhead and... Gwazi? I haven't been on too many great wooden coasters. I've been going to Ohio too much. :) I've only listed eight, I could do more but I'm not. Makes these seem pretty darn good.

Mean Streak was never rough to me, but just boring and slow. Maybe I got a few "lucky" rides that didn't beat the crap out of me.
I rode Mean Streak this past June. I never found it too bad before, but now it's easily my least favorite coaster. And I've ridden Ninja at SFOG. I had serious rib pain for at least a month, and I'm not even 20.

I see someone who's maybe not been to a park outside the Sunshine State! :) J/K..There's some good stuff on that list, Danielle!
I've never been to a park outside of the sunshine state, but that should change next August.
I haven't been to many either. Just Dollywood, Wild Adventures and Six Flags over Georgia. I need to go to more out of Florida.
It's just hard to get away when Orlando isn't far and the parks are all amazing!
After going to the parks at 4:20 in the morning, I was able to keep track of how for I'm away from WDW without traffic; 40 minutes. Normally it takes an hour to get there due to traffic.
Ah, I'm in Jacksonville so it's usually 2 hours.
