Ready to conquer some of the BEST theme park rides in the world?
Most people come to the American amusement parks for the thrills that the parks have to offer, but which ones have the best of the best?
Which theme parks have the top rides and attractions?
That is what we are here to check out today!
Let’s go through which rides at theme parks are the best for you at the destinations across the country.
“Are you ready to challenge the Python and live?”
Part of the infamous, somewhat truthful tagline for Busch Garden’s forgotten roller coaster, Python, brewed from the mysterious death of a 39 year old who died shortly after experiencing this reptilian attraction.
The Skyride at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is a cable-car that runs across the park. Allowing you to get stunning views of the Florida theme park from 50 feet up in the sky.
This gives you the opportunity to take in the glorious skyline without being worried about the next stomach-lurching drop.
You must be thinking ‘Well, hold on. Aren’t the stomach-lurching drops the reason people go to theme parks?’
I didn’t mention the animals now, did I?
You get amazing views of these cute cuddly creatures and the not so cuddly ones (all animals are cute) from the top.
I’m talking rhinos, tigers, gazelles, lions and even (wait for it) giraffes and elephants.
This makes me want to pack my bag and get over there right now!
Are you planning a nice Disney getaway and want to know what the best rides at Blizzard Beach are for your trip?
Water parks are a summer essential and at Walt Disney World that means a day at Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park or Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park.
Since the later is currently closed we thought it would be fun to talk about the best rides at Blizzard Beach that you have to get on this summer either by yourself or with a group of friends.
No matter if you’re looking for something calm and relaxing like the lazy river or a thrill ride like Summit Plummet, there’s something for everyone at this Disney water park.
Have you ever heard of Rafiki’s Planet Watch at Disney’s Animal Kingdom?
I find that when guests visit Disney’s Animal Kingdom, most people are so focused on getting to the Avatar: World of Pandora, Expedition Everest or any of the other bigger attractions.
What people fail to remember is the purpose of the park, which is to educate about nature, creatures and how to help with conservation.
Guests also fail to take some time to slow their roll. And so, Disney decided to resolve that problem with Rafiki’s Planet Watch. It’s so hidden that most guests do not even realize what or where it is despite it being on a park map or asking questions to Cast Members.
And yes, Rafiki’s Planet Watch is still open at Animal Kingdom.
Now if you prefer certain attractions or shows, that’s understandable. However, allow me to gather your attention as we dive into what makes Rafiki’s Planet Watch worth a visit.
Recently, the popularity of Figment at Epcot became the topic of global speculation, leading to some slight ridicule of adult Disney fans as the world could take a glimpse into the Disney fan bubble.
Publications like CNN and platforms like Twitter and TikTok showcased hours long lines during Epcot’s International Festival of the Arts for what?
A Figment shaped popcorn bucket filled with rainbow flavored popcorn.
These buckets started memes and were being sold on Ebay for hundreds of dollars for an item that cost no more than $20. But this raised the question to outsiders of the fandom, “Who is Figment?”
Epcot purists and Disney fans alike debate about Journey into Imagination, home to the purple dragon. One thing we usually all agree on is that Figment is a delight and that his legacy in Epcot is important.
And yes, the Figment ride is STILL at Epcot…
Join me as I dive into the history of Figment the purple dragon who has sparked the imagination of people for generations!
You know it and I am sure you love it! It’s the Disney Monorail. This marvel can be found at several Disney Parks, and some consider it to be an attraction in itself.
The monorail’s connection to Disney Parks is pretty special and fascinating to learn about. Unlike its Disney World counterpart, you don’t necessarily need it to get around Disneyland Resort. But you could be treated to some fun experiences and amazing views.
The Disneyland Monorail is unique in which its great for all ages, perfectly ADA accessible and truly a credit to Walt and his people at Walt Disney Imagineering.
You can the variety of monorail skins, but let’s get into the business of what makes it so special and how you can use it for your upcoming Disneyland Resort visit!
Let me preface this article by stating that Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride is one of my all-time favorite Fantasyland attractions! I was very excited to rewatch the film for the purpose of this article.
This classic attraction at Disneyland is the only one of its kind in any Disney Park. Originally, there was a second incarnation located in Magic Kingdom and was closed in 1998.
Currently, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh sits on the grave. It was an opening day attraction when Disneyland opened in 1955. Today, it’s not the same as it once was.
Are you familiar with the ride? Some people like to joke and call it “The Hell Ride” because of the….ending.
Don’t worry, it will all make sense as you read on!
Today, we will be touching on the following about the ride:
Are you ready to take an EPIC journey on the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros?
In the Mexico Pavilion, hailed as the place where one should start when conquering World Showcase, is one of the best rides at Epcot. Its considered to be a family dark ride, but it is also a nice way for a solo traveler to relax and see the sights!
Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros pays homage to a classic Disney film while showcasing the beauty and culture of Mexico.
Some may say it could use an update. Some say that it should be replaced with a Disney Pixar “Coco” themed attraction. But for now, there are no plans for such changes or refurbishments.
In the meantime, I will be going over the following for Gran Fiesta Tour:
To all my amigos viajeros solitarios, let’s dive into this classic Disney attraction!
Are you having a hard time using the Rise of the Resistance virtual queue to get on this popular Disney attraction? Trust me, I understand your frustration.
With Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary just 4 months away, it’s important to know several things.
To start, anniversary years tend to bring in more crowds than ever. Once October 1st is upon us, it will prove more difficult than usual to get park pass reservations, dining reservations, and yes, boarding groups for Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
Now with that being said, it very important that if you are visiting Walt Disney World in the next few years to understand another key fact.
Disney is more than likely going to start normalizing virtual queues and boarding groups for their upcoming attractions.
You can see proof of this in the announcement that Webslingers over at Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure will utilize this system as well.
Do you know what the best rides at Hollywood Studios are for your Disney trip?
Disney’s Hollywood Studios has recently finishes a multi-year overhaul that completely changed everything you might have thought about the park being a half-day park.
While we love new additions like Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and Toy Story Land, we also love old favorites like Star Tours and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.
When it comes to touring Disney’s Hollywood Studios as a solo traveler, there are a few things to keep in mind. These include what rides typically have the longest wait times (hello, Slinky Dog Dash), and what rides have a Single Rider Line.
We’ve rounded up seven of the best attractions to hit up while at the park as a solo traveler.
