The survey also delves into detail about the respondents, indicating that Space Mountain was favored by men, while women across the US opted for the Haunted Mansion. The majority of rides chosen by the respondents in their top 10 are a part of Disney’s Magic Kingdom with one exception, The Twilight Zone Tower Of Terror.
Disney has adapted to the new regulations put in place due to the pandemic with a slow and cautious reopening. Disneyland Resort in California announced potential plans for expansion, including bringing new restaurants, rides, and themed worlds as a part of its Disneyland Forward Initiative. The resort is set to open up again at the end of April.
