If someone were to
ask “What are your top 10 favorite rides in all of Walt Disney World?” would
you be able to answer? I could
immediately start listing my “must-dos,” but my list quickly would go well
above 10. Who can really choose a
favorite?! I made my list and soon came
to the realization that I could not condense it any more.
Staring at my list
repeatedly, I concluded that I needed some input. I conducted a highly unscientific poll of
some of my fellow agents at Kingdom Konsultant Travel. After reading everyone’s lists, I was
ecstatic to finally have a finished “favorites” list.
I am pleased to
share with you the Kingdom Konsultant Travel’s Top 10 Favorite Rides! Let the countdown begin!
10. it’s
a small world"It’s a world of
laughter, a world of tears . . . .” well you know the rest. And if you don’t, you will be humming it all
day after taking this nostalgic boat-ride.
This ride offers over 300 brightly-colored costumed dolls singing and
dancing in international unison. Each
continent depicted in amazing detail.
Sit back, relax and sing along!
9. Kilimanjaro
Safaris®
Let’s next set our
sights on a two-week safari through the Harambe Wildlife Reserve in East
Africa. Climb aboard “Simba 1” and
listen to your guide as he takes you through a journey to see antelope,
gazelle, and okapi – just to name a few!
It is said to enjoy this bumpy ride early in the morning while most of
the animals are feeding. If you are
lucky enough, some animals are within reaching distance, so get those cameras
ready!
8. Splash
Mountain®Step into an eight-passenger log and be whisked back in time to the
1946 Disney classic Song of the South. As you float along you will see characters
from the movie depicting some of the classic scenes. Although this ride may seem innocent,
beware. As in all movies, there are ups
and downs, and when I say downs I’m talking a 52-foot drop. Be prepared to get wet!
7. Expedition
Everest®
A trek up the
“Forbidden Mountain” on a train, to encounter a Yeti? Why not?!
Enjoy this high-speed coaster full of twists, turns and drops. Best part?
It also goes BACKWARD! While most
of this ride is in the dark, be sure to look up to see the Yeti whenever you
can. I found that if you want a more
intense ride, choose the right side, and for a calmer ride choose the left
side.
6. Rock
‘n’ Roller® Coaster Starring AerosmithWant to go to an
Aerosmith Concert? They have invited us
to join them in their SUPER-stretch limo!
Rock out to Aerosmith’s special soundtrack as it begins to play in your
headrest. 3…2…1---BOOM! Zero to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds into an
immediate inversion and enveloped in darkness with only road signs and neon
lights leading your way. A couple of
turns and corkscrews later, you arrive!
5. Toy
Story Midway Mania®Switching gears to
embrace your competitive side as you try to rack up the highest score with some
of your most beloved characters from Toy Story.
Enjoy 5 mini-games, as each of you start “throwing” pies, eggs, darts,
rings and baseballs by aiming and pulling the cannon style lever. Highest score
of the day will be posted on a board at the end of the ride!
4. Big
Thunder Mountain Railroad®
Make your way up a bronze-colored hillside, passing by mining gear on
your way to the train station. Go back
in time to an old western mining town via a runaway train. Be prepared for a ride that is both mild and
wild with its twists, turns and rickety rails!
Most importantly, check out the scenery and see if you can spot the man
in a bathtub. “Hang onto your hats and
glasses ‘cause this here’s the wildest ride in the wilderness!”
3. Pirates
of the Caribbean®
The sounds of “Yo
ho, Yo ho! A pirate’s life for me” can be heard while venturing through pirate
caves, and you’ll catch yourself singing along as well. Board ye vessel and plunge down a 14-foot
waterfall where you will find yourself in the middle of a cannonball fight
between 2 rouge pirate ships! Floating through some Caribbean ports, you will
find pirates a plenty up to what they do best, drinking and pillaging. Keep an eye out for Jack Sparrow! He can be
found lurking in several places throughout the ride…can you find them all?
2. Haunted Mansion®
Pass by an invisible
phantom horse and hearse before entering a round stretching room. (When the lights go out, be sure to look up
to see a body on a noose hanging from the ceiling.) Make your way to your “doom buggy” where you
will be taken on an adventure of several different rooms full of spooks and
ghosts. Keep your senses active as there
is ALWAYS something going on around you. Stay seated as there are 999 happy
haunts and they are always looking for one more! Beware of tormenting hitchhikers!
We have visited
Africa, the Caribbean and even tampered with the 999 haunts. But the favorite ride from our Kingdom
Konsultant Agents is…
1. Soarin’™
Your flight aboard “Flight 5505” will immerse you with smells, sights
and feelings as you ”soar” over California.
40 feet in the air in front of an IMAX screen, you start your journey
above the clouds over The Golden Gate Bridge.
The uplifting instrumental soundtrack will bring tears to your eyes as
you see some of the most inspirational sights California has to offer. Begin kicking your feet as you see kayakers
roaming down a river between tall pine trees.
From being eye level with hot air balloons and skiers on the tallest
peak of a snow-covered mountain, your senses come alive with the smells of pine
and orange groves. The power of
waterfalls, fighter jets and the ocean will have your hair blowing in the wind
before the grand finale at Disneyland.
Fly down a shimmering Main Street before being greeted by Tinkerbell and
the fireworks filling the sky.
How many of these are on your Top 10 Favorite Rides? I’d love to hear your list of favorites and why you love them!
