Thrill Rides

1.  Space Mountain     *Magic Kingdom*
(must be 44" tall to ride)
The quintessential dark coaster, Space Mountain opened in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom in 1975, and has thrilled park guests ever since.  Twisting and turning through the dark amid stars and planets, the excitement and anticipation of not being able to see the next turn is a treat for thrill seekers.


2.  Big Thunder Mountain Railroad     *Magic Kingdom*
(must be 40" tall to ride)
Walt Disney was the ultimate train enthusiast, and this fact is evident throughout Disney parks worldwide.  It's only fitting that one of the big Magic Kingdom thrill rides is based on Walt's love of trains.  Big Thunder Mountain railroad is a coaster that winds through the mountains and canyons of the wild frontier!  Watch out, there are even a few dinosaur fossils peaking out of the canyon walls.


3.  Splash Mountain     *Magic Kingdom*
(must be 40" tall to ride)
Splash mountain is a log-flume ride that takes you through the story of the 1946 Disney classic, "Song of the South."  Travel with Br'er Rabbit as he races to escape Br'er Bear and Br'er Fox.  This ride ends with a thrilling five story drop into the brier patch.  Make sure to take a seat in the back of the log if you only want to get slightly wet.  If getting soaked is more your speed, then sit in the front.


4.  Mission:  SPACE  (Orange Team)     *Epcot*
(must be 44" tall to ride)
Mission:  SPACE at Epcot is a thrill, for sure!  There are two options for experiencing this attraction.  If you have trouble with motion sickness, then the Green Team is for you.  However, if you want to take the more extreme path, join the Orange Team.  The Orange Team version of the ride puts you through a centrifuge, and it will disorient you!  This interactive journey will take you and your team on a mission to Mars.  Help get your team there safely!


5.  Soarin'     *Epcot*
