limo while you twist and turn in the
Himalayas scream till you drop in an
abandoned Hotel then cool off with a
splash or two there's a thrilling
adventure waiting for everyone at the
four Walt Disney World theme parks and
two water parks but have you ever
wondered which Disney rides are actually

guide so be sure to keep your hands arms
feet and legs inside because today in
order of speed we'll be counting down
the top 10 fastest rides at Walt Disney
World
[Music]
number 10.
as you approach Magic Kingdom you can't
help but notice the spire on top of the
white futuristic show building that
houses Space Mountain situated in the
back of Tomorrowland This indoor dual
track steel roller coaster opened on
January 15
1975. it was the original Space Mountain
in any Disney theme park and it's the
oldest operating steel roller coaster in
the State of Florida now the show
building is home to two almost identical
tracks Alpha and Omega both offering a
very similar experience with Omega
having 10 extra feet of track once
you're seated in your rocket and leave
the loading station you travel up a
series of lift Hills and lighted tunnels
before you're faced with this iconic
roller coaster in the dark reaching top
speeds of up to only 28 miles or 45
kilometers per hour it's an exhilarating
2 minutes and 30 seconds of unexpected
twists and turns through the dark you
honestly never ever know which direction
you'll be moving next and it feels like
you're traveling much faster than you
actually are now the ride could use a
good re-tracking since it's now over 45
years old making it the oldest ride on
the list so who knows what the future
holds for Space Mountain
number nine
staying in Magic Kingdom will head into
Fantasyland where you can dig dig dig
your way through the minds of the Seven
Dwarfs Mine Train this attraction opened
on May 28 2014 completing the
Fantasyland expansion the Seven Dwarfs
Mine Train is a roller coaster Dark Ride
hybrid that offers a thrilling
experience for the entire family as you
travel out of the loading station and up
the first lift Hill you'll make your way
through the winding Paths of the
Enchanted Forest before heading indoors
the Coaster's train is a tilting vehicle
that simulates the swaying and tipping
you might expect to feel in a real
Minecart once inside the mine you're
dazzled by the twinkling jewels and
impressive audio animatronics of the
Seven Dwarfs
that's before you make your way up the
second lift Hill
you'll definitely Rush as you head down
the largest drop and reach top speeds of
up to 34 miles or 55 kilometers per hour
the ride is extremely smooth and it
doesn't feel as fast as it is with a
ride time of about 2 minutes and 50
seconds the coaster is a fair length but
you do spend just over a minute in the
mine in my opinion it could use an extra
30 seconds to feel more like a complete
experience but it's still a great mix of
something a bit more laid back with a
dose of thrill although it's already
over six years old Seven Dwarfs Mine
Train is still one of the most popular
rides at Magic Kingdom
number eight
heading into frontierland you can't help
but notice the 197 foot Butte set in the
Monument Valley and home to Big Thunder
Mountain Railroad the ride opened on
November 15 1980 making it the second
roller coaster at Walt Disney World as
you step into your train in the enclosed
loading station you're about to embark
on the wildest ride in the wilderness
reaching top speeds of up to 35 miles or
56 kilometers per hour Big Thunder
Mountain takes you up three lift Hills
down multiple drops taking twists and
turns through the town of Tumbleweed all
while passing some animatronics along
your way on this Runaway Train Ride Now
Thunder Mountain is more exciting the
further back in the train you are since
you feel more the momentum from the
front causing quicker accelerations down
the drops so if you're looking for that
extra thrill definitely ask a cast
member for the back of the train Big
Thunder Mountain never disappoints not
to mention the beauty of these Scenic
views with a ride time of about 3
minutes and 20 seconds Big Thunder
Mountain is jam-packed with a great dose
of coaster fun
number seven
let's switch gears and head to Disney's
Hollywood Studios where the Hollywood
Tower Hotel is home to the next
attraction going up on our list
strategically placed at the tip of
Sunset Boulevard behind the rows of palm
trees you'll find the Twilight Zone
Tower of Terror arguably one of the most
popular throw rides at the resort and
one of my personal favorites the ride
opened in July of 1994 and it offers you
a fully immersive experience into the
Twilight Zone
set in an abandoned 1930s Hotel The
Twilight Zone Tower of Terror takes
guests Into The Fifth Dimension now make
sure you're strapped in because this
elevator is unlike any other you've
experienced
[Music]
after passing through a series of show
scenes the anticipation builds as you
sense the thrill that's just around the
corner once you head into the shaft the
elevator drops you 13 stories at speeds
of up to 39 miles or 63 kilometers per
hour this is one ride you'll feel in
your gut and not only do you get a
thrilling experience but you also get a
great bird's eye view of the park
now this isn't your typical Free Fall
attraction imagineers along with the
Otis Elevator company design cables at
the bottom of the shaft that actually
pull you down at speeds faster than Free
Fall Tower of Terror also uses
randomized drop sequences that offer a
variety of different drops and lifts
that keep you surprised every single
time plus Disney recently restored many
of the visual and audio effects in the
drop shafts now due to the pandemic
Disney is not running the pre-show the
room is being used as additional Q space
but this could change at any point in
the future and the pre-show will
eventually return the entire ride lasts
about three minutes so get ready to
scream because you never know what kind
of drops to expect on Tower of Terror
number six
heading back into frontierland at Magic
Kingdom it's a zippity-doo-dah day on
the first water ride on the list Splash
Mountain officially opened on October
2nd 1992 and it takes your classic log
flume ride to a whole new level at the
heart Splash Mountain is a classic
Disney dark ride that features 69 audio
animatronics telling the story of rare
rabbits Adventures to find his lap in
place before you even enter the Dark
Ride scenes the outdoor scenery helps
establish the world of the brayer
characters then once you're inside the
sets are vibrant and many catchy songs
help tell the story that eventually
build to the climax of The Ride
traveling up the lift Hill you Crest the
top as your log slowly begins to tilt
forward before you know it you descend
down a 50-foot Flume at a 45 degree
angle and a mere three seconds reaching
top speeds of up to 40 miles or 64
kilometers per hour
be sure to get wet now don't be fooled
the big drop is the main event but there
are three other smaller dips and drops
that'll prepare you for the big one
Splash Mountain has a rye time of about
10 minutes and 30 seconds making it the
longest ride on the list and a great way
to cool off on a really hot day at Magic
Kingdom now it was recently announced
that Splash Mountain would be getting
re-themed to Princess and the Frog
Disney released this concept art and a
brief description of the ride storyline
with no specific dates or details
released I think we can expect Splash
Mountain in its current form to live on
for a couple more years before anything
is done with the transformation
number five
making our way back to Hollywood Studios
Toy Story Land is home to the newest
coaster at Walt Disney World
Slinky Dog Dash open with the land on
June 30th 2018 and it's become a very
popular ride at the park now
suppose the launch coaster but it's not
an off-the-shelf coaster the layout
which includes two launches was an
original design for Disney including
these little camel humps which were
meant to mimic the coils and movement of
a slinky there's nothing off the shelf
about Slinky Dog Dash aside from the
dash and Dodge Mega coaster kitbox that
Andy picked off the shelf to build the
coaster in the backyard with many
overbank turns Slinky soars through
Andy's backyard giving you some great
views of the land before reaching the
second launch
[Music]
as this booster Kate launches you up the
Camelback hump get ready to reach top
speeds of up to 40 miles or 64
kilometers per hour it's an extremely
smooth ride and although the coaster
looks tame from watching it inside the
land it feels much faster than it looks
now if you want a more intense
experience sit in the back and if you
want something a little more on the same
side then the front is where you need to
be with a ride time of about 1 minute
and 50 seconds it's the perfect Disney
throw ride for the entire family
[Music]
number four
heading over to Disney's Animal Kingdom
the park is home to Expedition Everest
legend of the Forbidden Mountain the
ride opened on April 7 2006 and at the
time it held the record for being the
most expensive roller coaster in the
world it recently lost that title in
2019 to Hagrid's motorbike Adventure
which cost 300 million now Expedition
Everest is one of the most immersive
coasters with the track cleverly
designed right into the architecture of
the mountain this coaster takes place
both inside and out but the experience
begins in the queue which sets up the
story of The Legend of the Yeti once on
board your train you make your way into
the Himalayas arriving at the base of
Mount Everest this coaster has
everything from twists and turns through
caverns and a set of broken rail tracks
that halt the ride you'll plunge
backwards through the mountain into a
helix giving you the Sensation that
you're going upside down down as you're
trying to escape the yeti the train
Dives down the largest drop and reaches
a top speed of 50 miles or 80 kilometers
per hour with a ride time of just under
three minutes this is one coaster that
will definitely leave you wanting more
more disco Yeti that is
[Applause]
number three
over on Sunset Boulevard in Disney's
Hollywood Studios you can follow the
head of this guitar until you find your
way to G-Force records home of rock and
roller coaster starring Aerosmith the
ride opened on July 28 1999 and as
another fully enclosed steel coaster The
Experience begins with you winning some
backstage passes I love that idea how
about some backstage passes then you
need to make your way to the concert
[Music]
the anticipation Builds on this vicoma
launch coaster as Stephen Tyler counts
down the launch
before you know it you're going from
zero to 57 miles or 92 kilometers per
hour in a quick 2.8 seconds as you're
speeding past neon street signs most of
rock and roller coaster takes place in
complete darkness which definitely adds
to the thrill while you're rocking to
the beat of the Aerosmith soundtrack The
Ride has three inversions two rollover
Loops that happen just after the launch
and one Corkscrew near the end it's the
only coaster at Walt Disney World that
actually goes upside down now due to the
pandemic Disney is not running the
pre-show the room is being used as
additional cue space but this could
change at any point in the future and
the pre-show will eventually return
although the physical ride itself only
lasts 1 minute and 22 seconds short ride
times are very typical with most
traditional launch coasters but no
matter what it's always a thrilling
experience on rock and roller coaster
[Applause]
number two
get your swimsuits ready because for
this next one we're gonna get soaked on
Summit plummet at Blizzard Beach
standing 120 feet tall you can't help
but notice the massive ski jump which
just happens to be the flagship
attraction Summit plummet opened in
April of 1995 and it's one of the
tallest and fastest Free Fall water
slides in the world once you're at the
top be prepared to plunge down 12
stories as you reach a top speed of 60
miles or 97 kilometers per hour for a
water slide it's pretty intense and
because it's just your body against the
slide you really feel this one in your
gut within about five seconds you'll
find yourself going from top to bottom
making that white water splash looking
at it can be a bit intimidating at first
but once you take the leap it's an
extremely thrilling and fun experience
number one
finishing the list off in Epcot future
world's test track is the fastest Disney
ride at Walt Disney World and in any
Disney theme park across the world
officially opening in March of 1999 it
was the first ride that featured the
slot car style ride system the original
version of test track used to place
riders in a GM testing facility where
you got to experience how prototype
vehicles are safety tested in 2012 GM
shifted gears and put Chevrolet as the
sponsor to give this High Velocity ride
a much different look on test track you
design your own Chevrolet vehicle then
get a chance to test the design through
the ride's indoor and outdoor
performance courses your journey starts
off slow but as you get going you'll
experience some pretty quick
accelerations and stops through the
indoor futuristic show scenes
[Music]
foreign they aren't too thrilling but
there's a lot of cool visuals similar to
Tron but not Tron but they do prepare
you for the most thrilling part of the
ride
once your car exits the show building
and heads outside prepare to race around
multiple Bank turns reaching a top speed
of 65 miles or 104 kilometers per hour
you definitely feel the wind in your
hair and the adrenaline is pumping with
