Without a doubt the Snow White ride at Disneyland. I've never been on the ride. When I was a kid my mom took my younger brother on the ride and I remained outside waiting for them to return. Suddenly I hear "SON OF A B%TCH!!!" in a loud scream come from the Snow White ride, and it was my mothers voice. Somehow she had bumped her knee and it really hurt.
I still remember the faces on the kids and parents outside the building that heard her scream. I smiled to myself and thought, that's my mom.

The Haunted Mansion. I love it! And one of these days I will finally get the tall, skinny ghost in the car at the end of the ride...

About five years ago a friend and I took her kids to Disneyland. Each kid was allowed to ask a friend to come. Her son & his friend went off on their own. The girls, being 9 years old, stayed with us.
Rebecca's friend, Brenda, was a royal pain in the ass. Every single ride, no matter how innocuous, would find her whining & crying "I'm scared,I'm scared" and pulling back. She wanted to be coaxed onto every single ride. She complained about the food. She complained about *everything.*
Finally, we got to the Pirates of the Caribbean. I wound up in the front of the boat, sharing the seat with...Brenda. After trying for patience the entire day, I finally snapped. The ride got started. Brenda whined. We got to the skull and crossbones. Dead men tell no tales! it intoned. I said, "Do you hear that, Brenda? You're going to die!" Whoosh! We went down the waterfall.
As I recall, no more problems for the rest of the day.

MR TOAD'S WILD RIDE!!!! It is now defunct. That was the COOLEST ride EVER! From a kid all the way up to being an adult(?) I loved that ride. They took it down to put something else in.... what they put in I don't know because I haven't been back since!
We got caught on It's a small world. My hub did too. So did my sis... all on separate occasions! I think they do that to brainwash you.

After the Haunted Mansion my favorite attraction was the Carousel of Progress. I am still ticked that they sent it to Disney World when that opened & stuck us with America the Beautiful instead.

Anyway here it is.... It is about 3/4 the way down the page
