Top Disney World Rides in Florida

1. Space Mountain:

Location: Magic Kingdom

Space Mountain has always been a choice of park guests. Like many Disney rides, the fun begins before riders ever step into the coaster. A large section of the line gives guests a chance to see the glow-in-the-dark rocket-shaped cars windy around the track in full darkness.

The ride exists in five Walt Disney parks, but the Disneyworld attraction is the only one with dual tracks. On the coaster, guests will experience a fast moving thrill ride on which they can't even see the person in front of them. Fun for ages 11 and up due to the darkness and speed. Lasts 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

2. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad:

Location: Magic Kingdom

This ride is a mild indoor/outdoor rollercoaster that's styled as an 1800's gold-mining site. Riders take their trip on an obsessed train. Though it was built back in 1980, it is still a must-ride for most park guests. While lines will be long, they usually move quickly. Recommended for ages 7 and up. The coaster reaches a speed of 25 miles per hour and lasts 3 minutes and 25 seconds.

3. Primeval Whirl:

Location: Animal Kingdom

This ride looks like it's for babies when in reality adults will love it, too! A light-hearted, fiercely colored coaster and track take you back in time to see if a meteor actually did kill the dinosaurs. The car, which seats up to 4 people, is circular and moves around the track while spinning. This ride is not for people with weak stomachs or neck problems as the jerks can infrequently be intense. This coaster reaches speeds of 29 miles per hour and lasts 1 minute and 30 seconds.

4. Dinosaur:

Location: Animal Kingdom

Rough and dark, this ride is not something estimated out of Disney. Like Primeval Whirl, Dinosaur's story uses a time machine to take riders back to the age of the dinosaurs. The researcher who leads the journey is looking for an Iguanodon to bring back to present day. This ride is definitely not for children. The ride was open in 1998 and lasts 3 minutes and 5 seconds.

5. Star Tours:

Location: Disney's Hollywood Studios

Stepping into a box set up like a movie theater doesn't seem like a fun ride; however, guests get a shock once it starts up. Using large flight simulators and a predictable movie created by George Lucas himself, riders are motivated up and down and side to side as enemy warships attack them on their way to the Moon of Endor. Great for kids 8 and up so long as they don't mind the darkness. Lasts 4 minutes and 30 seconds.
