- Space Mountain: Space Mountain is a indoor dark rollercoaster in Tomorrowland. The ride cars seat three people each, one behind the other. I love this ride because it’s really fast and it’s also dark so you can’t tell where you’re going. On my most recent trip to Disney World, something was up with the lights, so you could see the track in front of you and around you. It was hard for my dad, who is 6’4″, because he was nervous he would hit the track or something!
- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad: Thunder Mountain is a mostly outdoor rollercoaster in Frontierland that is fun for children of all ages! The ride trains have 15 rows that seat two or three people each. This is my mom’s favorite ride because she doesn’t like super intense rollercoasters. We always ask to sit in the back because the back is the fastest. Last time I rode it, my brother and I rode together and we kept sliding against each other on the sharp turns!
- Splash Mountain: Splash Mountain is a log flume style ride also in Frontierland that has a 50 foot drop down Chick-a-Pin Hill! This ride is a lot of fun, especially in the spring and summer when it’s a lot hotter. You go down a series of little hills leading up to the big drop. After you splash down, you enter the boat scene with a bunch of Audio-Animatronics singing “Zip-a-dee-doo-dah”. One time, when I was younger, I was riding it with my dad and we were about to go up the first hill and the ride stopped! I’m pretty sure I started crying because I wanted to ride it so bad. We even had to get walked off the ride! This is definitely an awesome ride.
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train: Mine Train is a less intense coaster located in Fantasyland, but it’s still pretty fun. You start by going down a small hill and then go through some twists and turns before you enter the mine, all while rocking back and forth in your mine car! This is another ride that you might want to sit in the back for if you’re looking for a bigger thrill. I love to ride this with my brother and cousin because we’re always looking for hidden Mickeys in the mine, which by the way, has some amazing Audio-Animatronics.
- Haunted Mansion: Haunted Mansion is a dark ride located in Liberty Square. You travel through the mansion where 999 happy haunts are living, but there’s room for a thousand! This ride has some pretty cool special effects to make it look like ghosts are living there. My favorite part of the ride is the end, where a hitchhiking ghost sits with you and plays tricks on you. Once, one of them gave me his beard! This is a super silly ride with a catchy tune to compliment it, “Grim Grinning Ghosts”.
