Ask It: Best Fantasyland Spinning Ride?
This week, we’re taking a different type of question for a spin–literally. As readers may already know, I’m not a fan of thrill rides. In all seriousness, I have to psych myself up to ride Pirates of the Caribbean because the drop is too intense for me some days. But spinning rides? I could ride them all day! (Well, maybe not all day, because at some point you do have to let the inner ear settle down a bit.) So this week we’re asking you:
Which Fantasyland spinning ride do you think is the best?
- Dumbo the Flying Elephant (39%, 193 Votes)
- Mad Tea Party (30%, 149 Votes)
- I don't do spinning rides! (17%, 84 Votes)
- Prince Charming Regal Carrousel (13%, 64 Votes)
Total Voters: 490

I picked Dumbo cause I can actually ride that one. I don’t do spinning rides at all, but Dumbo doesn’t bother me.
I picked the Mad Tea Party only because the one in Disneyland is one of my favorites. I think the theming and atmosphere of that ride make it awesome (if slightly nauseating). Its location means a great view of Fantasyland as well as the Matterhorn, and the music takes me back every time! If I had to vote on WDW only, it would be Dumbo.
I’ll ride Rock n Roller Coaster, Expedition Everest, Tower of Terror… you name it, but I will not get on Mad Tea Party. Just the thought makes me turn green. The other two hardly qualify as spinning rides.
Point of order, that this post is talking specifically about Magic Kingdom’s spinners. (DL has King Arthur Carrousel.) That said, I pick Magic Kingdom’s Mad Tea Party all day long on this one. Because unlike Disneyland’s version, you can still spin MK’s teacups as fast as you want to! I used to get applause, and once wrenched my back, from spinning like a mad person (pun intended) on DL’s version. Now the ride is no fun anymore after the Team Disney Anaheim lawyers literally had the brakes applied a few years ago. But MK’s Mad Tea Party… I’m ok with different tea cup designs and a different soundtrack on the Orlando version, because you can still spin to your heart’s content on it.
