Ride Reviews
Walt Disney World

Animal Kingdom

Countdown To Extinction
This is the most thrilling Disney ride I have ever ridden. I have heard that they are going to tame it way down in order to theme it with an upcoming movie. This would really be a waste. Most of the ride is in the complete dark, and compared to IOA's Jurassic Park River Adventure, these dinos seem real!

Kilimanjaro Safari
This is my favorite Disney ride. You hop in these huge (and i mean huge) tour trucks that aren't on any tracks, these machines are hand driven by a Disney Tour guide. Basically you spend 20 minutes looking at African animals roam freely. No matter where you look on this ride, it seems that the desert stretches hundreds of miles. You really feel like this is an acutal safari tour in Africa.

Disney-MGM Studios

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith
This Vekoma built coaster is the first and only looping coaster built in Walt Disney World. It features 3 inversions inside a completely closed in building. The preshow video basically tells you that Aerosmith wants to bring you to their big show and in order to get there on time, you will really have to speed. With the use of LSM moters, your "stretch limo" brings you from 0-57 mph in 2 seconds. From there on, you fly in and out of Hollywood. It is a really smooth coaster and a great thrilling ride without being too thrilling for Disney.

The Twilight Zone: Tower Of Terror
This is probably my favorite freefall ride because of the insane amount of theming Disney put into it. When you board your car, you travel upwards a bit. After a couple of special effects, you slide out of the shaft and move forward through a bunch of meaningless "Twilight Zone" type stuff. Eventually you stop and all lights go out. Suddenly you drop a bit and then fly all the way to the top where the elevator shaft doors open, letting you see all of MGM Studios. When it was originally built, it only dropped twice. Now you drop around 4 or 5 times and fly out of your seat each time. A great, but somewhat spooky ride.

Epcot

Test Track
This ride is actually more fun than thrilling. I originally thought that it was being built to be a flat out thrill ride, but after riding it, I think its better because the whole family can enjoy the fun. The waiting area is filled with all sorts of gadgets like smashed up cars, crash test dummies, and everything else used in car testing. The ride itself is mostly inside. First you check out the cars speed, handling, and resistance to temperature. After the whole testing is done the fun part comes. You fly out of the building and hit a speed around 65 mph. Disney and GM really did well, even though it took an extra 2 years to finally open.

Magic Kingdom

Alien Encounter
Even though I have been on this ride many times, it still spooks me out. They sit you in this big "spaceship" and there is a power failure that turns all of the lights out and lets out an extraterrorestrial. When you finally get to see the monster it looks really cheesy, but when it is completely dark in there, trust me, you'll get spooked.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
This mine train roller coaster features alot of neat elements including 3 lift hills. The ride weaves in and out of a man-made canyon. It is alot of fun for all ages.

Haunted Mansion
This classic Disney ride still impresses me with its simple yet neat special effects. First there is the stretching room that gets taller and taller, then comes the actual ride. You hop in cars that will give you a tour of the mansion. Inside you see doorknobs knocking by themselves, singing ghosts, and my personal favorite, the
hitch-hiking ghosts.

Space Mountain
This was the first coaster built in Walt Disney World. The ride takes place in a huge dome where only stars light the way for your comet car. It is a pretty bumpy ride, but still a fun classic.

Splash Mountain
This log Flume is a fairly new addition to the Magic Kingdom. The ride is extremely long, but that just adds to the fun. Basically, the Brer Rabbit is always being chased by the Brer Fix and Brer Bear. One day the clumsy duo acutally catch him and throw him and you down a mountain into the Briar Patch. It seems that Disney never fails at any ride they install.
