    If by "circular" you mean a hub & spoke ride (Dumbo, Aladdin, Astro Orbiter, Triceritops) then I've gotta pick the Astro Orbiter. It's cool to be up that high!

    Otherwise, if ANY circular ride can be chosen then I pick Cinderella's Golden Carousel.

    We found the Astro Orbitor to be torturous!!!! Maybe because they folded myself and my 2 tween daughters like origami to get us all in the rocket. Coming out of it was another challenge and we are not large people!! We won't do that one again!!

    We do try to ride Dumbo at least once during the trip because it is Dumbo - but thus far Chloe is happy with both the Magic Carpets and Triceratop spin and the lines are MUCH shorter.

    DUMBO!!! We have to ride Dumbo at least once on our trip, even if it means waiting for a very long time! It seems like a sin if we don't!

    Time for my big Disney confession-I LOVE Triceratop Spin! Next time you see a 50-something yo woman riding it solo with a big grin, that's me. That's one reason I like to go to WDW solo once a year in addition to going with DH once a year-to ride rides like this as often as I want.

    Astro Orbiter is by far my favorite hub and spoke ride. The height and the view just make it more fun. The line however usually stanks.

    I'm a Ramblin Wreck from Georgia Tech...

    It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

    Dumbo for sentimental reasons and that is where we saw Mickey riding during EMH in Feb. My sister (who's 20) had to ride it and when she saw Mickey on there I thought I'd have to sit on her to keep her from jumping the gate! She loves Mickey! Today I enjoy CoP and the TeaCups the most (our personal best on the TeaCups is riding 6 times without stopping during EMH!). I am a huge Aladdin fan so it would come in fourth.

    Well if COP isn't considered a "circular ride", I absolutely love Astro! I finally went on it last year (I hadn't been on it since I was little) when there was wasn't a line and boy was I pleasantly surprised.

    That view is so cool!

    I'm probably the minority here, but I have to go with the carpets. My 3-year-old son loves them and they fact that the camel "might" spit on us.
