fair enough. It's just that in my opinion, it pales in comparison to other classics like Splash Mountain.

1. Fast & Furious- Just kidding this ride is an actual garbage can of an attraction.
Forreal:
1. Everest- Themeing of this ride is just incredible. Wish they could fix the Yeti soon (i’ve never ridden it with the Yeti working as far as I can recall). Walking towards that mountain from Discovery Island on a foggy day and it looks incredible. Plus its just a really fun ride with a great backwards section.
2. Tower of Terror- Another great example of theming, tech, thrills, etc. The randomness of the ride, the story, and just everything about it are amazing IMO. I love that butterfly feeling when those two doors open to the drop shaft and you just wait there in the pitch black darkness for that thing to either shoot up or drop (and the aspect of not knowing which it will do). Considering making it my number 1 now lol.
3. FoP- Just an incredible experience honestly. The smoothness and how the motions of the ride work so perfectly with whats on screen. My friends joke and say the ride is like an acid trip. I cant speak to if that true but it sounds pretty good
.
4. Spiderman- Just a really fun ride with a lot going on. The ride does a great job of pairing the motions of the ride with whats on screen just like FoP (I specifically love the electrical shock scene when the car shakes like hell).
5. Rock N- This one is kind of nostalgia factor I guess cause its one of the first thrill rides I ever did with my family. I just like that its one of the only coasters in Orlando that takes off from 0. I feel like that launch is one of the best (if not the best) in Orl. I honestly cant say I feel the Hulk/Mummy launches as much as I do on this ride (idk why that is).
6. FJ- The ride is a perfect blend of physical sets with screens and I really appreciate the tech thats behind it. I don’t think the simulator aspects of it are as good as other rides like Soarin or FoP but its still really fun. It is a little nauseating but nothing too bad for me. And idk about anyone else but that ride is really comfortable to me. The back support is
lol.
7. Mummy- Great indoor coaster with some good air time, theming, and special effects.
8. Splash- Classic ride with a feel good story and a pretty good thrill factor. Best log ride IMO.
9. Rip Ride Rockit- Probably my favorite coaster in both Uni/IOA. I find hulk just to be loop after loop while this one has cooler maneuvers. Plus that vertical lift awesome. Would be higher on the list if it weren’t just a bare coaster.
10. Thunder- Fun family ride that has possibly some of the best theming of any coaster in Orlando. Love being on the ride and seeing other trains zoom by and the WDW railroad pass by. Plus this ride is awesome at night.
