Disney World, in Orlando Florida is known for its elaborate, themed rides. But Walt Disney World also offers some exciting thrill rides that are great for older kids and adults. Before visiting, it’s a good idea to check the height restrictions if traveling with kids, that way there won’t be any disappointment.
Here are 6 of the best thrill rides at Walt Disney World.
Rock N Roller Coaster
The Rock N Roller Coaster is my all-time favorite ride at Walt Disney World. This thrill-filled roller coaster has loud Aerosmith music, super-fast speeds, big drops, and upside-down loops. Disney has announced that the Muppets will be replacing Aerosmith at this attraction, but I’m hopeful it will still remain an exciting thrill ride.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
This new ride at EPCOT is now one of the most popular thrill rides at any of the Disney parks. It’s more than a roller coaster, it’s a full experience, with twists and turns all set to an exciting soundtrack.
TRON: Lightcycle / Run
Based on the movie TRON: Legacy, TRON Lightcycle / Run is an exciting new attraction at the Magic Kingdom. It’s an indoor/outdoor ride on a motorcycle-like ride vehicle and is extremely thrilling.
Tower of Terror
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is one of the best-themed rides at Walt Disney World. Enter the hotel, and you’ll learn about the family who was in the elevator when lightning struck. From the costumed cast members who play along as creepy hotel staff to the cobweb-filled hotel interior, it does feel like an abandoned luxury hotel.
Expedition Everest
On this Himalayan Mountains-themed ride in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you’ll travel on a coaster through mountain peaks. Unfortunately, a yeti has broken the train tracks, causing the coaster to speed backward. It’s an extremely fast, fun thrill ride, and is worth the line.
Space Mountain
Space Mountain is a fun rollercoaster located in the Tomorrowland part of the park. It’s the original rollercoaster I remember riding on as a child, and it’s still one of my favorites. It’s a classic ride at Walt Disney World and one of the best things about Tomorrowland.
