Space Mountain – Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom is full of classic attractions dating all the way back to the park’s opening in 1971. One of these classic attractions is Space Mountain. Space Mountain at its core is a basic roller coaster, but its pitch black darkness and theming help to make it a very thrilling attraction. Space Mountain takes guests on a journey through outer-space, and its darkness, projections, and sound design all come together to give guests a good thrill-ride experience.

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror – Disney’s Hollywood Studios

At first glance, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror might just seem like a basic drop ride. However, this ride located in Hollywood Studios has some of the best theming and suspense of any attraction at Walt Disney World. When guests step into the queue-line for this attraction they are immediately surrounded by eerie fog and spooky atmosphere. As they enter the lobby for the Hollywood Tower Hotel, it is immediately apparent that something is very wrong. Cobwebs cloak the room, and items have been abandoned by hotel guests. The suspense that leads guests up to the attraction itself is unlike any other thrill ride in the world. Don’t skip this one!
