Splash Mountain ⌚✓ ☂ ⌚
I no longer ride Splash Mountain on a regular basis, as I have found that the ride's nostalgic feel does not outweigh the sour smell of the recycled water used. There is about a 50/50 chance that you will get significantly damp. I have noticed that every other boat which makes the outdoor turn near the end of the ride gets sprayed by the water shot up every time another boat goes down the main drop. If you are one of the boats that gets the huge spray, get ready for the musty stink the water may leave on your clothes. If you don't mind it, remember that others might. Bring some body spray or something because I certainly wouldn't want to be waiting downwind of you in line after you get soaked. The wait time for this ride is often one of the longest in the park, sometimes hitting 80 minutes. Must be 40 inches tall to ride.
Big Thunder Mountain ✓✩
Dips, turns, drops, and uh, more dips. Sorry, I couldn't think of another word. Anyway, Big Thunder is definitely one of my favorites. Expect your stomach to flip with every turn you take. After all it is the, "wildest ride in the wilderness!" Wait times for this ride vary greatly. With the increasing popularity of Disney World in general, it's hard to get on any big ticket ride without FastPassing it, or waiting for >45 minutes. I find that the lines for this ride go down significantly during or right after Main Street parade times, sometimes dropping as low as 15 minutes even on busy days.

Space Mountain ✓✩⌚
Its 180 ft. tall!
The refurbishments made to this ride are some of the only refurbishments in the entire Disney Complex that I actually believe were worth it. The ride is now in complete darkness, is perhaps even louder and "clackier" and continues to freak me out every time I ride it. This is a must ride attraction, and although
they may say the line is long, it moves fast. I have yet to find a point in the day where wait times for this ride drop significantly.
You must be at least 44 inches tall to ride. Children under 7 must ride with an adult.
