Welcome to For Your Amusement, a theme park podcast that aims to exhaustively evaluate the world's most popular theme park attractions to determine if they are world class. I'm Ryan Bergara. I'm Barron Marin. And for today's episode, we're ranking the top 10 performances by an actor in a ride. Very specialized top 10 today.

Now, this is excluding shows because, you know, like for instance, we couldn't do Greg Dolph in Waterworld because that's a different performance every show.

We're talking about a performance that is preserved in time. It is an actor in front of camera, and it is also an actor speaking in front of camera,

so no voice only roles here as well.

Those are the parameters that we are going by, and you think this is an easy list.

I had a hard time with this.

It's tough.

Because Byron had asked me, like, can we do ensembles? Like,

for instance, all of the people in this ride. And no, you have to break up, those are, that's not

how it works in a movie. No, it would have made it easier for me to pick personally. But yeah,

had to, had to make some cutthroat decisions on this one. Yeah, we were originally going to do five for this, but then we decided we need to do 10.

And then I asked you if we could, if defunct attractions were on the table and they are.

Lo and behold, they were.

So that made it extra difficult.

Looking at your list, I don't think you had any defunct attractions.

Dare not put any on there?

No.

Oh, look at that.

Didn't even change your list. Oh, and by the way, this could be a performance in a pre-show or on the ride, as long as it's like anything that comes after, basically, the marquee.

Okay, so our top ten list is a consensus between the two of us, formed by a point system. Byron and I each made our own individual top tens, and a ranking of first is worth ten points, a ranking of seconds worth 9 points,

and so on and so on and so on. And then I tallied the scores to create this aggregate ranking.

As such, only I know the contents of this list, and the rankings will be revealed to not only
