Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

Located in Fantasyland in Disney’s Magic Kingdom park, this attraction quickly became a park favorite among guests. This ride is known for being really smooth. Guests love how each ride vehicle rocks from side to side individually.

Expedition Everest- Legend of the Forbidden Mountain

This exciting and thrilling roller coaster is found at Disney’s Animal Kingdom park. This attraction was actually the most expensive roller coaster in history (until Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind) and was $100,000,000 to imagine! Expedition Everest boats incredible theming in both its ride queue and on the attraction itself.

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith- Closing February 20th, 2023

Get ready to rock and roll on the only roller coaster at Disney that’s themed after a rock band! You can find this ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios park. This attraction is thrilling and fast! Riders twist, turn, and swirl in the dark while Aerosmith music blasts! This ride is not really one for young children because of its intensity. It’s definitely one of the most fun and thrilling roller coasters at Disney World.
