I get motion sickness too, and I love crazy rides. Tell him to take 1-2 chewable Bonine tablets and you won’t get sick.

For a while at EPCOT there was Sega City in the Communicore (Innoventions) west. They had a 8 person Formula 1 racing arcade game called Virtua Racing. You sat in mini version of the racing cars that tilted as you raced the other opponents. Each player had their own big screen in front of the movable car that they viewed and a camera that faced them so you could see the peoples faces on 2 or 3 slightly smaller screens that sat atop the 8 big screens.

I would buy 8 of the Tomorrowland speedway vehicles and put them in place of the 8 Formula 1 racers. I would then change the game track and graphics to reflect something similar to the Walt Disney World Quest Magical Racing Tour PlayStation video game.

OK, people… I’m copyrighting that now.

I would pick the Doom Buggy, if I could have an optional audio input of the attraction. If not, I would want a People Mover, so I could stretch out my legs and relax!

What a great Top 10! I’d love to own a Doombuggy, it could so be turned into a seat with just some pillows.

The tram at MCO is only good arriving not departing. How about the ride vehicle at Mission Space. Love the Soarin ride.

I completely love the Tomorrowland Transit Authority WEDway PeopleMover. I would probably pick that one, the blue one. It continues to be a fantastic piece of Disney history and I have such great memories of that attraction.

Great show (as usual), but one tiny, infintesimal point of objection which is totally unrelated to ride vehicles. When you were giving T. Bananas Foster your normally questionably positive intro, you mentioned that he was “Doofenschmertz to your Ferb”. I would contend that might have been better “to your Perry”.
So glad you mentioned Jack Wagner. His sonorous voice was the voice of WDW for me from childhood. Still remember getting to see him at one of the Disney Disneyana Conventions at WDW in the 90′s.
Peter Pan and Soarin’ have got to be my two favorite ride vehicles in spite of having an irrational fear of unenclosed heights, LOL.

I loved this list!

As a family, our top list of ride vehicles:
1) Tomorrowland Transit Authority
2) Expedition Everest
3) Spaceship Earth
4) Carousel of Progress
5) Dinosaur

Also, we had a few picks for ride vehicles we’d love to have in the house
1) Mad Tea Party Tea Cup – fun to spin in as well as using it as a table for tea!
2) Big Thunder Mountain Railroad car – a family favorite attraction
3) Doom Buggy – just because =)

I really have to say, that my favorite ride vehicle at WDW is the boats in Pirates. Not that it’s a technical transportation vehicle…however, it’s in my favorite attraction of all time. It holds a special place in my heart for 3 reasons. #1, it was the first attraction I went on during my first visit to WDW in 1976 as an 18 year old senior in high school on our class trip all the way from northwest Indiana. #2-I have 2 sons, and it was kind of “our ride” because it was so special to me the first time…and taking them on it, and pointing out all the pirate scenes in the attraction as we went along, and #3, going with my new husband in 2010 on his first trip since 1975. We went on Pirates 3 times that night!! Would love to have that “boat” in my back yard, so just go sit in, and remember the good feelings!! Loved the lists from you and Tim!!

The top 10 shows are my absolute favorite!!!! I was surprised the Mad Tea Party tea cups weren’t mentioned in the podcast just for how they look! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have one of those and turn it into my kitchen eating area!!!
