    Default WDW Attraction with Most Recognizable Odor

    I could only think of a handful of these, but some just have always stuck with me. Which is most memorable to you? (There is an option for 'other', in case I've left one out or you have another in mind.)

    Splash Mtn - The mildewy, wet smell of the ride logs.

    Space Mtn - The odor of the ventilation system within the building.

    Spaceship Earth - Rome burning.

    Soarin - The smell of pine or oranges.

    Thumbs up good poll

    I like the 'other' option, even tho i didnt use it, because the first thing i thought of was the old Journey into Imagination ride...the 'white' room where everything was gloriously white, it always smelled like roses upon entry...i just love that. every now and again in 'real' life if i get a whiff of that somewhere, i think of Figment and it makes me smile!!

    I voted for Spaceship Earth, but I remember journey into imagination (the original) having a strong smell of nail varnish remover!

    Also the smell of the L'oranges on Horizons!

    I voted "other". There is another odor in Journey Into Imagination that sticks with you too.

    A not so pleasant one.

    I went with other because, it's definitely not a pleasant smell or memory, but that awful chili dog smell from Stitch Great Escape.

    Not exactly an attraction, but the monorail has a distinct smell. Some have complained about it during summer months (kitty box smell), but in Dec., it's more like ???????an elevator - air conditioned medical aroma. I can't think of a better discription, but when I go to our hospital to volunteer, I always think "monorail ".

    The sulphur smell of Rome burning was always one of the first 'smells' of Disney for use since we almost always rode SSE first. Maybe not now after the refurb.

    Definately the smell on SSE. I actually miss that smell every so often. Luckily I'm not one of those who've been stuck on the ride at that part. I've heard a few stories about people never wanting to smell it again after stopping right next to it.

    On the not so nice side, there's always the smell of the stinkbug on Bug's Life at AK. Gaagh.

    I voted Splash Mountain! Every once and a while I will run in to that same smell here - and immediately recognize it.

    And there's also the smell in the Tower of Terror lobby - not sure how to describe it but its an awesome smell too!

    I chose other because I think both Spaceship Earth and Soarin tie for the most memorable smell. I have a citrus hand lotion that reminds me of Soarin and who can forget Rome burning?

    I voted for Rome burning. When I get to that point in the ride I just turn to my family and smile...like I AM back at WDW and loving it

    Second pick would be the oranges at Soarin'!

    Well i guess I will be old school here too. I went with SSE and the Rome Burning Smell but my fondest memory of Scents at disney is Oranges on Horizons I haven't rode soarin yet but can't wait to do so.

    There's a hard to identify smell about RRC. I don't know whether it's deliberate or just comes from the ride mechanisms... I guess it kind of fits with the garage motif. Anyway, when I step out into the "alley" and catch a whiff of it, it's like I'm already in the limo. ...sort of like when I'm far from WDW but I hear "Walk This Way" or "Sweet Emotion" or "Dude Looks Like a Lady"... ...and yeah, Aerosmith's good but I'm not that much of a fan of theirs.
