I remember a while back that someone had posted their view of which rides were better v. their counterpart at either DLR or WDW. I thought it would be a good idea to restart it as Toy Story Mania! comes online and will no doubt be compared from the get go. Does anyone still have that thread?

If you are just comparing Magic Kingdom attractions, it is mixed. BTMRR and Haunted Mansion are better in Florida. Pirates is way better in California, Splash in Florida, Space Mountain is a personal decision as the tracks are so differnt from each other. The fantasyland dark rides are about the same, except Pooh is better in Florida. IASW is way better in California, although the recent refurb in Florida makes it pretty darn cool- and worth a visit.

There is a great video out there that shows a side-by-side comparison of the BTMRR in DL and WDW. They are mirror opposites. I just checked Youtube to try to link it, but did not see it listed. Perhaps it was on a video podcast. I'll check when I'm at home.

It's really well done!

A brief search (http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/search.php)yielded a few comparison threads. Try these out for starters.

It was episode 20 of The Big D. Here's the link to the podcast page:

How do you view it :confused:? Does it have to be downloaded to an iPod or something similar? Can I watch it on my computer?

You don't need an iPod (I don't have one) - you can view it on your computer with Quicktime. It's a big download, but it's pretty good if you're interested in the comparison.

You can't really compare Space Mountain. WDW's Space Mountain is actually a version of DL's Matterhorn but indoors, so maybe those are more comparable.

How do the people/crowds compare in both parks? I've only been to DLR since I live in California.
