But Grizzly is my fav, beating any other raft ride in the US or Europe I have been on (current count of 16 around the globe I have ridden). It is also a beautiful attraction, the only attraction in DCA I can say that about.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Back to the original topic, I have always prefered DCA (though less these days than opening year). DHS has some nice touches in the opening, love RNR Coaster and ToT (but I prefer Paris' versions of both). And I love Lights Motors Action (though I slightly prefer Moteurs Action, the original in Paris). I also like the dining options. I like the GMR, but the cast members are aweful actors (though that can be said of most of WDW's cast). But DCA has more variety and a lovely mix of attractions. Though I am not happy about the tooning of the parks, they will be mega additions. WOC beats Fantasmic already I reckon (though I hate the Florida version). So DCA wins for me (though I wish they had not moved away from the edutainment and fine dining aspects they ripped out)

The whole experience was akin to riding a roller coaster (and a lame one at that) through the inside of an empty Home Depot with the lights off. I can't think of one good thing to say about that attraction.

Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance I know, but it seems like they have WAY more of the WOC area than of Rivers of America.
