Al’s Top 5 Favorite Roller Coasters in Disney World

I thought it would be cool to tell you guys my favorite roller coasters. So, this is how it went.

Beware of the Yeti!

5. Expedition Everest 

I like Expedition Everest because it has a lot of stuff: a beautiful view, scary parts, and it is a smooth ride. I sit near the front most of the time because there is a part where you go backward! In that part, if you are in the back, you go down a drop, then, you go up so high, you feel like you are almost going upside down. After that, there is a forward drop that is even bigger! If you like scary rides, then you would like this one.

The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness!

4. Big Thunder Mountain 

Big Thunder Mountain is not a bad roller coaster; it is just a fun ride! It is “the wildest ride in the wilderness”! It has turns and drops, and almost anyone can ride and be happy when they get off the ride. It can also be repeated many times. There are two different tracks you can get! Big Thunder Mountain is next to water, too. When you get off the ride, make sure to get a picture with the water and the ride.

Here we go!

3. Slinky Dog Dash 

Watch out for Slinky Dog Dash because it is “the wildest ride in Andy’s backyard!” Slinky Dog Dash might look like a fun and cute ride, but it is not. It has a drop that is 50 feet! It also gets to a speed of 40 miles per hour, but it does not go upside down. The track is very smooth though, and that helps it not be as scary. If you want to have a tour of Andy’s backyard and like to scream, then this ride is for you.

3…2…1…

2. Tron Lightcycle Run 

Tron is a very cool ride that goes about 60 miles per hour! The only complaint about this ride is that it is only about two minutes. There is a part where you go outside that lasts about one minute. The ride also gives you a team color; it is always blue. Then you have to try to win a game with your team. The ride goes inside and goes through rings. If you get six rings before the orange, red, and yellow teams, you win! If you like competitions, you would like this roller coaster.

1. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind 

Guardians of the Galaxy is my favorite ride in Disney World for a lot of reasons. You are in a ride vehicle with two in the front and two in the back of every escape pod. You can also repeat this ride many times because it plays different songs (from the 70s and 80s) each time you ride it! You also go backward in this ride and a picture is taken of you in your escape pod when you go backward. This ride is crazy, and at the end of the ride, you hear, “Welcome to the Guardians of the Galaxy,” because you helped save the world!  

Honorable mentions: 

Space Mountain and Seven Dwarf Mine Train 

Space Mountain is an insane roller coaster in the dark with many drops and turns. Seven Dwarf Mine Train is a fast ride outside with a few fun songs to sing along, like, “Hi Ho”.

Those are my favorite roller coasters in Disney World. I hope you enjoyed this list!

What I Like About It

Slinky Dog Dash is located in Hollywood Studios in the new Toy Story Land.  When you walk into Toy Story Land you feel like a small toy in Andy’s backyard! 

Giant Woody at the entrance to Toy Story Land

Slinky Dog Dash is new and opened in June 2018.  It is a roller coaster that is located outside.  The ride seems like a small kiddie ride but DON’T be fooled.  This ride is FAST!  Towards the middle of the ride it speeds up.  My favorite parts of the ride are when the ride goes up and when there are about five bumps that make the roller coaster bounce up and down.

This ride is FAST!

What I Don’t Like About It

The ride is outside.  Roller coasters that are outside scare me.  Seeing all the people below me just freaks me out.  This is probably why I enjoy Space Mountain so much.

My Top 5 Favorite Rides at Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom is my favorite park because it has the most rides.  My favorite ride is Space Mountain, which is located in Tomorrowland.  The ride is in the dark and has sudden drops and turns. Too young for Space Mountain?  My second favorite ride, Big Thunder Mountain, may be for you. Big Thunder Mountain is located in Frontierland.  The ride is outside and has lots of curves. My third favorite ride is The Jungle Cruise. How amazing your ride is depends on your tour guide.  On the Jungle Cruise you ride in a boat while seeing amazing fake animals.

My fourth favorite ride at Magic Kingdom is Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. This ride is short and is located in Fantasyland.  Here you can take a trip through the mines but still ride a roller coaster.

My fifth favorite is Pirates of the Caribbean. Now you can take a trip with the pirates. Keep an eye out for Captain Jack Sparrow!  He appears at least three times during the ride.
