What is the fastest ride in Walt Disney World?

I would think the Monorail or the potential speed of the TTA, the linear induction motors could possible power the speeds over 50mph. The track couldn't handle it but it could go that fast.

I wonder how some people would answer this question.

Some may say Test Track, some may say Star Tours, some may say Ellens Energy Adventure...

Just curious how some may interpret this question.

The reason I ask stems from a friend of mine asking why I just don't go to a roller coaster park nearby where I live instead of going all the way down to florida.

Its hard to answer that question, but part of the explanation comes from how you can easily answer that question at a park with all roller coasters. But when it comes to Disney World, there can be alot of different answers, all correct in their own way. Understanding that is a good way to explain why going there is so different from just a normal roller coaster park.


Star Tours and Ellen's Adventure? I'm sorry but I think I'm confused by your questions as one is a simulator and the other is a show....

But Test Track is the fastest ride.

Ellen's Energy Adventure is by far the fastest ride.
It takes you from 208 million years ago to 1996 in about 40 minutes.

Try doing that in Test Track vehicle. :lookaroun

I dont wanna be the debbie downer but i think that on ellen you don't go back that far, it's all just a dream. Plus when you're on star tours it's supposed to be like your filming a shot for a movie. Making Mission space the fastest as it is taking you to space. :lookaroun

Since Ellen is just a dream, that would make Dinosaur the fastest. You are traveling in a time machine to go back and retrieve a dinosaur to bring back with you.

I am not sure everyone is clear on what the OP is trying to get out of us. They are not necessarily looking for the fastest in mph. Their point is that they come all the way to WDW to get fully emersed in the themeing of the parks and rides. They could just go to the roller coaster park near their home, but they chose to go the WDW to go on rides with incredible themeing where they can get the illusion of speed.

Don't you go light speed in test track?

And in Ellen's Energy Adventure, don't you go backward in time, so you'd go faster than the speed of light?

I'm just trying to start a discussion on how it isn't such an easy answer because it can be intrepreted many different ways.

At a roller coast park, there isn't much intrepretation, it's just whatever is the fastest.

It's just part of my way of explaining to a friend of mine why Disney is different, because of the fact you can have such a discussion. I can't say that I go light speed on any rides at cedar point.

And I do know that Test Track is the fastest if you are looking at ride vehicle miles per hour. But there can be so much more to this discussion.

You can't go back millions of years or to Endor at Cedar Point or Six Flags, can you?

You can go to Endor at Cedar Point?! :eek: Which ride?! Disaster Transport? I knew it. :cool:

You can't? :( I thought that Top Thrill goes pretty fast... But I wouldn't know from experience... still don't have the guts to ride it...

But anyways, any ride that you go back in time is probably going to be the "fastest" ride.
 
The Monorail.
I remember the Disney Channel used to run that short in between shows where they asked people what the fastest rode in WDW was and they would feature each one...and then reveal at the end that the monorail was the fastest ride in WDW. I would love to watch that again, but I haven't been able to find the video anywhere.
