The real top ten

(Today's Bracketology is primarily for the Chetans in the audience, although I'd be really surprised if Chetan is in the audience.)

According to the new Zagat guide to WDW, here’s the top 10 attractions, in order:

1. Soarin', Epcot
2. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Disney-MGM Studios
3. Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Disney-MGM Studios
4. Pirates of the Caribbean, Magic Kingdom.
5. Space Mountain, Magic Kingdom
6. Test Track, Epcot
7. Expedition Everest, Animal Kingdom
8. Splash Mountain, Magic Kingdom
9. Haunted Mansion, Magic Kingdom.
10. Big Thunder Mountain, Magic Kingdom.

In other words, people are nuts. Of course, I can’t speak to numbers 1 and 7 yet, but I’m not willing to concede them. Let’s face it, here’s the real top 10:

10. Celebrity Deathmatch: Jon Cruz vs Cinderella I’ve got the photos of this one, of course
9. It's a Small World, when it breaks down and you get stuck for three hours and the music never stops playing
8. The guys who clean up behind the horses on Main Street, USA
7. Disney Emporium Emporium: Located immediately adjacent to the exit of the Disney Emporium, Disney Emporium Emporium is the ultimate gift shop, where you can buy souvenirs celebrating the Disney Emporium gift shop.
6. Character Binge Drinking: Meet and greet and get looped with your favorite toons, located at Pleasure Island
5. Antonin Scalia Orthodox Wedding Chapel: There's nothing goofy about our marriages
4. Disney Studios Bathroom of Terror (Information supplied upon request)
3. Sons of Liberty Stockholder Revolution: Performed daily under the Tree of Liberty, a recreation of the ouster of Michael Eisner
2. Backstage Tour—The Corpsicle: Visit the legendary frozen remains of You Know Who. Requires 9-year advance reservation.
1. Jean Baudrillard Memorial Parking Space Located outside the Magic Kingdom on Ursula the Sea Witch Drive, spot #45203. Fast Pass available.

(Of course, I hasten to point out that at least one of these is a myth. He was cremated. Keith Richards has the ashes to prove it.)

Space Mountain only clocks in at number 5? And Star Tours, Spaceship Earth, Peter Pan, the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, and the Great Movie Ride don't even crack the top ten?

Carousel of Progress?

I cry a bit during at least two -- and often three -- sections of Spaceship Earth every single time I go on it.

Come on, Zagat! I hope they at least get honorable mentions.

P.S. Make sure you go on the Buzz Lightyear ride. It's fun!
