to avoid the lines and make sure you

thrills so in order of speed today we're
going to be counting down the top 10
fastest rides and attractions at walt
disney world
number 10 space mountain approaching the
magic kingdom you can't help but notice
the white futuristic space themed show
building that houses space mountain
situated in the back of tomorrowland
this indoor dual track steel roller
coaster opened on january 15 1975.
the show building is home to two
identical tracks alpha and omega with
both offering the exact same experience
where you'll reach speeds of up to 28
miles per hour once you're seated in
your rocket ship you approach a lighted
tunnel as you leave the loading platform
then head up the lift hill these are
going to be the only sections of the
ride where there's light then the rest
takes place in complete darkness it's an
exhilarating 2 minutes and 30 seconds of
unexpected twists and turns through the
dark you honestly never know which
direction you'll be moving in next and
after the ride's done you'll want to
ride again so you definitely don't want
to miss space mountain
number 9 primeval whirl
get ready to take a trip back in time as
we switch parks and head on over to
disney's animal kingdom
heading through dinoland usa you'll
approach an area themed to a parking lot
carnival called chester and hester's
dinorama primeval whirl opened on march
31 2002 and is the headliner attraction
of dinorama from a glance the ride
structure looks interesting but it's
pretty much just your typical wild mouse
roller coaster these types of coasters
can be found at amusement parks all
across the world now like space mountain
the ride has two identical tracks with
each layout facing the opposite
direction once you're loaded into your
time machine vehicle and head up the
lift hill you'll soon be reaching speeds
of up to 29 miles per hour now get ready
for a series of sudden dips and turns as
you travel past cartoon dinosaurs on
your adventure oh and be prepared for
the ride vehicle to start spinning a lot
the ride is pretty bumpy as it is and if
you don't enjoy spinning rides this
might be one to skip out on
number eight the seven dwarfs mine train
taking things back into magic kingdom
we'll head into fantasyland where you
can dig your way through the seven
dwarfs mine train this attraction opened
on may 28 2014 completing the new
fantasyland expansion the seven dwarfs
mine train is a roller coaster dark ride
hybrid that offers both a thrill and a
chill the coaster's ride vehicle is a
tilting vehicle that simulates the
swaying and tipping you might expect to
feel in a real mine cart the speed on
the ride varies quite a bit while you
travel both indoors and outdoors
reaching a speed of up to 34 miles per
hour you'll definitely feel the rush as
you head down the largest drop on the
coaster it happens just after you pass
through the slower paced dark ride
section now this part of the attraction
is also unique since it features seven
state-of-the-art animatronics we
actually covered these figures in last
week's video so be sure to check that
out if you haven't already now the ride
is very smooth and although it does
travel at speeds of up to 34 miles per
hour it definitely doesn't feel that
fast the ride is a fair length coming in
around 2 minutes and 50 seconds but you
do spend just over a minute in the dark
ride portion and going up the second
lift hill like we said before it's a
great mix of a thrill and chill
experience but if you're looking for a
ride that takes the thrill to the next
level there's going to be others on this
list you'll definitely want to check out
number 7 big thunder mountain railroad
staying in magic kingdom we'll head to
the back of the park towards frontier
land as you step further into the land
you can't help but notice the 197 foot
butte set in the monument valley and
home to big thunder mountain railroad
opening on november 15 1980 big thunder
mountain became the second roller
coaster at magic kingdom as you step
into your train in the enclosed loading
station you're about to embark on the
wildest ride in the wilderness
reaching speeds of up to 35 miles per
hour big thunder mountain takes you up
two lift hills down multiple drops
taking twists and turns through the town
of tumbleweed passing by many animal
animatronics
on your way through this runaway train
ride the ride is more exciting in the
back so if you're looking for that extra
thrill definitely ask a cast member for
the back of the train
now big thunder mountain not only offers
a thrill but it also offers a great view
of the fireworks if you ride at night
during the show it's a perfect thrilling
experience with that extra bit of disney
magic
number six the twilight zone tower of
terror now let's switch gears and head
on over 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 rosa palm
trees is the twilight zone tower of
terror arguably one of the most popular
thrill rides at the resort the twilight

immersive experience into
the twilight zone
set in an abandoned 1930s era hollywood
hotel the twilight zone tower of terror

you're strapped in because this elevator
is unlike any other you've experienced

but you also get a great bird's-eye view
of the park now this isn't your typical
free-fall attraction imagineers design
cables at the bottom of the elevator
that actually pull you down at speeds
that are faster than the normal freefall
speed for those vehicles the tower of
terror also uses randomized drop
patterns that offer a variation of drops
and lifts of various distances and at
different intervals the entire ride
lasts about 3 minutes so get ready to
scream because you'll never know what
kind of drops to expect on the tower of
terror
number 5 splash mountain heading back
into frontierland at magic kingdom it's
a zippity-doo-dah day at the first and
only water ride on the list
splash mountain officially opened on
october 2nd 1992 and takes your classic
log flume ride to a whole new level
based on the characters from the 1946
disney film song of the south you board
your log and embark on a leisure ride
through the world of rare rabbit brayer
fox and brayer bear using a combination
of outdoor views and indoor show scenes
with animatronics
splash mountain offers a lot to see
before the big drop descending 50 feet
at a 45 degree angle traveling at a
maximum speed of 40 miles per hour your
log travels down the flume in a mere
three seconds and you're sure to get wet
now don't be fooled there is one other
drop called slip and falls but that's
nowhere near as intense as the big drop
splash mountain has a ride time of 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
number 4 the walt disney world monorail
although not an official attraction in
the theme parks the monorail has become
a staple of walt disney world making it
very easy to travel through parts of the
resort the monorail opened on october
1st 1971 and has always been a free
service at walt disney world
when you board this highway in the sky
you're traveling on one of the most
heaviest traveled monorail systems in
the world the tracks span over 14.7
miles around the resort and during
normal operation the mark vi monorail
trains reach an average speed of 40
miles per hour but they were designed to
top speeds of 55 miles per hour
each of the 12 monorail trains are
identified by a different color and
operate on two separate lines offering
three services the express route between
the transportation and ticket center to
magic kingdom the resort loop that
services all the hotels along the
monorail line and the epcot loop that
travels from the transportation and
ticket center to epcot it isn't a trip
to walt disney world without riding the
monorail and since you don't even need a
valid theme park ticket to ride there's
no excuse to miss out
number 3
expedition everest on april 7 2006 at
disney's animal kingdom expedition
everest legend of the forbidden mountain
opened at the theme park it went on
record in 2011 as being the most
expensive roller coaster ever built in
the world

speedy journey through the himalayas to
the base of mount everest where you then
begin your descent up this 118 foot lift
hill

hour this roller coaster has everything
from twists and turns through caves to a
set of broken rail tracks when your ride
comes to a halt forcing you to roll back
this backwards section is fast and will
get your adrenaline running it truly
feels like you're on a wild run to avoid
the yeti now disney uses the broken rail
tracks as well as the projected yeti as
ways to distract riders on the track
switch that's happening beneath you this
allows for a seamless switch that keeps
the thrill alive the main drop happens
just after the projection scene and when
you're on the run don't forget to keep
an eye out for that disco yeti maybe one
day he'll get fixed so we can stop
calling him that expedition everest is
an immersive thrilling experience that
will definitely leave you wanting more
go to school yeti

launch steel coaster that opened on july
28 1999 and has become a very popular
ride at the resort the anticipation
builds as you're waiting for the
coaster's launch
being the second fastest ride at walt
disney world rockin roller coaster takes
you from zero to 57 miles per hour in a
mere 2.8 seconds now disney actually
advertises this ride as going from zero
to 60 miles per hour so they round up a
little bit now this is also the only
roller coaster on walt disney world
property that goes upside down while
you're rocking to the beat of this
aerosmith soundtrack there's three
inversions on the ride two rollover
loops that happen just after the launch
and one corkscrew near the end as you're
speeding past neon road signs like space
mountain most of rockin roller coaster
takes place in complete darkness which
adds to the thrill the ride lasts only
one minute and 22 seconds but short ride
times are typical with launch coasters
not only does the attraction offer you a
thrilling ride but the three-minute
pre-show and the detailed queue are all
part of the whole rockin rollercoaster
experience through g-force records
number one
test track
making our way into future world at
epcot let's take a look at the fastest
thrill ride at walt disney world test
track officially opened on march 17 1999
and since its opening has seen some
major cosmetic changes the original test
track used to place riders in a gm
testing facility to assess how prototype
vehicles are safety tested in 2012
chevrolet became the new sponsor and
gave this high-velocity ride a much
different look you no longer feel like
you're in a real testing facility it's
much more futuristic looking but the
track layout remained the same which
still includes some pretty quick
accelerations and stops through the
indoor show scenes now the indoor show
scenes are thrilling but just enough to
prepare you for the outdoor high speed
bank turn that reaches speeds of up to
65 miles per hour within 8.8 seconds
you'll hit the florida speed limit and
definitely feel the wind in your hair on
this one now test track isn't just the
fastest ride it also has the longest
track at walt disney world coming in at
5
246 feet being one of the main e-ticket
attractions the line does get very long
but it does offer a single rider line
that usually has shorter wait times
test track is a must do for any trip to
walt disney world
