Top 10 Rides at Walt Disney World that You'll Need to Fastpass

The Top Ten

  1. Avatar Flight of Passage

    At Animal Kingdom. Great for fans of Avatar, preteens, teens, and young adults. Is it scary? It can be if you have motion sickness.

    I once Fastpassed this ride and still had to wait a little over an hour.

  2. Frozen Ever After

    At Epcot. Great for Frozen fans and little girls. Is it scary? It may be scary for young ones because of the drop and the part where you go backwards.

    The lines for some of these are super long. Most are not worth it, this included.

  3. Na'vi River Journey

    At Animal Kingdom. Great for fans of Avatar. Is it scary? No.

  4. Space Mountain

    Space Mountain is a space-themed indoor roller coaster attraction with versions at five of the six Disneyland-style Disney parks. The attraction simulates a journey through outer space with high speeds, sharp turns, and special lighting effects. Each installation has unique variations, but all share... read more

    At Magic Kingdom. Great for ages 8 and up. Is it scary? It won't make a good first ride for your kids if they don't like to sit alone. Also, people who are afraid of the dark or heights may need to skip this ride.

  5. Expedition Everest

    At Animal Kingdom. Great for preteens, teens, young adults, and thrill-seekers. Is it scary? If you are afraid of heights, then skip this one. You go through sharp turns, travel backwards, and experience an 80-foot drop, passing by a giant yeti known as Disco Yeti.

  6. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith

    At Disney Hollywood Studios. Great for fans of Aerosmith or thrill-seekers. Is it scary? Yes, it's very scary. You go from 0 to 57 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds into a dark building. It leads you through 2 inversions, a corkscrew, and many turns. It also has 900 speakers.

  7. Toy Story Midway Mania

    At Disney Hollywood Studios. Great for fans of Toy Story and all ages. Is it scary? Maybe if your kid isn't used to 3D, but besides that, no.

  8. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

    The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, also known as Tower of Terror, is a series of accelerated drop tower dark rides located at Disney's Hollywood Studios, Tokyo DisneySea, and Disney Adventure World.

    At Disney Hollywood Studios. Great for teens, young adults, and thrill-seekers. Is it scary? YES! It is very scary. It features creepy ghost effects, a dark atmosphere, and multiple drops.

    Scariest ride I've been on. And I've been on a lot of rides.

  9. Test Track

    At Epcot. Great for people who love speed. Is it scary? You go through hot and cold tests, which could be scary for young children. The ride also goes outside, reaching speeds of 65 miles per hour through sharp turns.

    The long lines for this ride seemed justified before Cosmic Rewind opened next to it with similar lines but a better ride.

  10. Peter Pan's Flight

    It's not really scary unless you're even the least bit afraid of heights and the dark. But, some of the other rides on the list put this to shame.

    At Magic Kingdom. Great for young children. Is it scary? No.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    The Haunted Mansion

  12. ?

    Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

    13. The Contenders

  13. Slinky Dog Dash

    I haven't been on it, but I have read it's scary for those afraid of heights and a bit of dropping. Yet, it's pretty high on the motion sickness factor for people. Though it's extremely scary for those who can't take the heat, as you have to wait a while in a mostly shadeless line with the Sun's rays beating down on you.

  14. Splash Mountain

    Splash Mountain is a log flume ride located at Tokyo Disneyland and was previously found at Disneyland in California and the Magic Kingdom in Florida. The ride features characters, music, and stories from the animated portions of the 1946 Disney film Song of the South. It is known for combining a steep... read more

    From where I live, the nearest to me is at Disneyland in Critter Country, whereas Disney World's is in Adventureland at Magic Kingdom. If you're scared of heights and drops, this will scare you quite a bit. It has a 52.5-foot drop at a 45-degree angle.

    The scenery and music leading to the drop are also enough to scare you, whether or not you know that there's a big and steep drop coming. It's good for cooling off, though, if you don't like being hot, as it does make you wet. However, it contains bromine, which, while safer than chlorine, is linked to cancers.

  15. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

    Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a mine train-style roller coaster located in Frontierland at several Disney theme parks around the world. These include Disneyland in California, Magic Kingdom in Florida, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris. The ride is themed as a runaway mine train racing through... read more

    At Adventureland in Magic Kingdom, it's said to go 36 mph, unlike Disneyland's, which goes at 28 mph. I read it's not really scary, unlike Disneyland's, which has a part where they're about to "blow up the mountain" with dynamite (even though it never really blows up on the ride).

  16. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

    This deserves the hour-long lines it gets.

  17. Remy's Ratatouille Adventure

  18. Kilimanjaro Safaris

  19. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

  20. Star Tours: The Adventures Continue

    It's thrilling and scary for those prone to motion sickness.

  21. Soarin' Around the World

    It's a ride that simulates hang-gliding around the world. It's scary for those afraid of heights or prone to motion sickness.
