What is your children's favorite rides?

I have seen many threads asking what we like the best in one form or another. But children view the parks differently than us adults based on experiences and age. So what is your children's ultimate favorite attractions from each park.

I have a 4 year old boy.

Magic Kingdom
The Magic Carpets of Aladdin
Peter Pan's Flight
The Haunted Mansion

EPCOT
The Giant space ball
Turtle Talk

Disney Studios
The Great Movie Ride (he is a big Wizard of Oz Buff)
Fantasmic!

Animal Kingdom
Triceratops Spin

As you can see, not all of them would necessarily make our top lists, but for a child the experience and reasons are often very different. On the Magic Carpets, my son was Aladdin over and over and over (at least 10 times in two days ). On Peter Pan he had memorized every word by ride three. Spaceship Earth was talked about non-stop because of how cool it was just to ride in it. The great movie ride was the Oz ride. And the Haunted Mansion was the ultimate show of bravery and courage.

• Great Movie Ride
• Muppets
He really wants to like RnRC and the ToT, but he's still a little tentative about them.
