I enjoyed our vacation, though I think Disneyland was probably better. It's hard to compare though since on that trip we had just gotten engaged. Of the rides we got on, I'd rank them this way:

1. Revenge of the Mummy (incredibly fun and themed, it is the perfect mix of dark ride and coaster for me. I don't really love coasters in the way Genny does. Does anyone know of any rides like this one? It's so much fun. Your end is my beginning!

2. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (very innovative and unique. This is the best flight simulator ride I know of. I confess partial ignorance to the subject matter unfortunately, but I still loved the experience)

3. Jurassic Park: River Adventure (great raft style ride with a surprise at the end. Fun theming but it really scores points because of that. As another note, these top three were the only ones we were able to ride multiple times)

4. Harry Potter and the Escape From Gringott's (not quite as good as the other dark coaster or the other Potter ride, but still with exceptional scenery and props. Probably would have added this to the double ride list if we had had the time for the line again)

5. The Incredible Hulk (as I said I'm not huge on coasters in general, traditional ones at least. They tend to make me a bit sick and dizzy. This one didn't make me lose anything thankfully but I did need some recovery time. The experience itself was nice, and the ill feelings arose after I was off it. Felt like I still moving for a while.)

6. The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman (Hard to believe this ride was made in 99 honestly. I know it's probably received updates but it's still really well done for the age it is. It captures the Spiderman character very well and hits you with a myriad of different sorts of interactive elements.)

7. Skull Island: Reign of Kong (got held up in line here for a while as the ride had a little technical issues, but thankfully the queue is a lot of fun too. The wait may have impacted my final ranking a bit, but the theming is truly amazing. Ride itself makes you feel like you need multiple attempts to catch all the details.)

8. Popeye and Blutos Bilgerat Barge (I've never gotten this wet on a ride before, not even close. In fact, when we went actual whitewater rafting last year I didn't get this wet. I enjoyed the Olive a lot after this also.)

9. Transformers: 3D (Pretty good even if you're not much of a fan of the source material. For once, I think the Michael Bay style works for this. I didn't see any Starscream though... that would make me rate it higher, maybe)

10. E.T.: The Adventure: I don't know why some of you guys were hating. This is great for what it is. It's also the park's only inverted track ride I think. I'd still say this is a must-ride thing, if nothing but for the ascent into that stars and the very end. That's definitely unique; I had no idea why they asked me for a name.)

11. Fast and the Furious: Supercharged (if you are a big fan if this series, you should love this ride. The queue is unique and they spared no expense on this thing. You also get an original story brought to life by projections of all the major characters of this series, and they even have live actors portraying new characters that interact with the real actors via video as if they're actually there. Honestly, I hate these movies and I was still impressed by this ride. If I was a fan it'd be a lot higher.)
