Some strange definitions of dark rides. BTTF? So Pandora counts? I can’t in good faith argue either of those. Even Splash or ToT I feel weird putting in there as they are a flume ride and drop tower. But to stay consistent with the others, I’ll include them. If I didn’t, I’d add Haunted Mansion and SSE as 9 and 10. The fact Gringotts or MiB or Mummy aren’t on my list just goes to show how many amazing dark rides are out there. And if I went to Shanghai and after Rise opens, I’d likely have to remove another ride in the top 10.
Note that I only did current rides to make it easier.
10) Sindbad - I don’t know what the song was or what was being said, but I love that little tiger.
9) Reign of Kong - Good queue, good music, great AA. Sue me, I love it
8) Poohs Honey Hunt - The trackless vehicles and “dance” scene make this. It’s a flipping Pooh character that I couldn’t care less about yet I’d ride this over and over and over if I was able.
7) Mystic Manor - Haunted mansion on steroids.
6) DL Pirates (haven’t done Shanghai) - Long and detailed.
5) Forbidden Journey
4) Tower of Terror - Drop towers were just big ugly towers that went up and down before ToT. No drop tower can compare still to this day.
3) Journey to the Center of the Earth - I never saw a POV of this and I said “this ride is awesome” at the climax. Great, surprising ride with insane queue and detail.
2) Amazing Spider-Man - The OG Hybrid. Still beats all new rides and it’s 20 years old.
1) Splash Mountain - my favorite ride of all time. The music, the length, and the fact it revolutionized flume rides; it just can’t be beat for me.
