Thanks to one of our readers for pointing out a glitch in today's poll. After setting it, the poll apparently did not save properly preventing the thread from allowing voting. Should be fixed now!
Had to vote for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad here. As much as I want to see some fresh blood on the tournaent from elsewhere in the US, you just can't beat Big Thunder when talking about mine trains. That ride sets the bar for what the entire genre should be!
I voted the same way as Chris. I was looking at the other rides POV's, and they seem to be fun, but for me they don't get even close being what BTMR is. It actually feels like a real mine train, all around the track you can see the different settings and great theming. Just a classic, impossible to beat!.
Yeah, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Incredible theme and a really fun ride. Adventure Express is also fun, but it's pretty rough and the end-of-the-ride-lift-hill-"theming" can't compare to BTMR's. Roadrunner Express has the layout, but not the theme (from what I've seen).
Big Thunder Mountain is the only roller coaster that my fiancee will ride on. It's a great ride with really fun hidden mickey's on it.
Oh how I love Arrow. But I am going to have to go with BTMRR. On my last trip to the World we went on it a couple times in a row during SpectroMagic with no line and kept trying out different rows to see what we liked best. It was really fun.
Next Trip to Walt Disney World: Unknown
I've always been a big AdvExp fan (love the pacing) but there's really no comparison to BTMRR. I prefer the DL version but it's all good.

BTMRR takes my vote, I can always have some fun while riding the Wildest Ride in The Wilderness!
Epcot Center also features pavilions built by various foreign nations, where you can experience an extremely realistic
simulation of what life in these nations would be like if they consisted almost entirely of restaurants and souvenir stores.
Ok guys... someone needs to vote for Adventure Express or Roadrunner Express to break the tie! I recommend Roadrunner Express - a surprisingly fun little ride that does a fantastic job of using the rocky cliff terrian at Six Flags Fiesta Texas.
^I wouldn't want to make one of them to feel inferior for being last.
