Thrilled to Perfection: The top thrill in the Disneyland Resort, the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, has earned itself a perfect 30 rating from surveyors - a rare honor in Zagat's history. Following close behind are Space Mountain and California Screamin', which both earned "extraordinary" thrill ratings of 29. With the Indiana Jones Adventure and Splash Mountain rounding out the top 5, it's clear that these parks pack a punch for any thrill-seeking Disney-goer.
Top Rides: This year, 65% of surveyors report spending almost all their time in the parks visiting rides or attractions. Surveyors' favorite ride is Pirates of the Caribbean, the swash-buckling pirate adventure. Space Mountain and Soarin' Over California came in #2 and 3 respectively. The Tower of Terror earned a 29 for Adult Appeal, while the dazzling "Remember ... Dreams Come True" fireworks won top Child Appeal.
The sad thing is that Tower of Terror at DCA could have been A LOT better. It is a cheapened version of the terrific ride at DHS in WDW. The missing portion where the elevator moves out and travel to another elevator well usually astounds most first-time riders. Tower of Terror at DHS is still my #1 most favorite attraction anywhere. Not only is it a thrilling ride, but it is perfectly, perfectly themed!

I've never ridden anything but the DHS version. It's hard to imagine the ride without the buildup of going from one shaft to the other. How do you get on a Zagat survey btw?
I received an e-mail invitation to go to their website and take the WDW survey.
As a thank you for the participation, they sent a complimentary copy of the WDW Zagat guide when it was published, so that was very nice of them.
