What I look for is a new experience, and Soarin' totally fits the bill. Right from the first shot, high above the Golden Gate Bridge, you will feel like you're really up there. They add in wind effects, smells, and movement in the ride frame to create an excellent illusion. And the music track is killer, too. My only gripe is that the ride isn't long enough - I could stay up there forever!
