Thrill scale is ranked below each detail.
The Top Ten
1 Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain

I've been Disneyland Paris loads but I've been too scared to go on this one.

It was so fast my glasses flew off!

This Space Mountain is unlike any other in the world. It's the 2nd fastest ride at Disneyland, with a top speed of 44 mph, just behind Rock N' Roller Coaster's speed of 57 mph, and the only one with inversions. There are 3 inversions on it, and it pulls 4.9 g's on the riders. Yet, this SM is the only one with a launch, rather than a chain lift, and you shoot from a cannon to "outer space" in just seconds. Not to mention the seating restraints and that it's longer and has awesome special effects. Also, the fact that it has a minimum height requirement of 48" (formerly 52"), so it's definitely a no-no for little ones.

The story of this ride is that you jump to Hyperspace and then go on a space battle with the rebels and their fighter ships, and try to defeat the bad guys. Then you're caught in a tractor beam of a Star Destroyer, but you defeat the bad guys and go into hyperspace, and then the ride is over.

Space Mountain at Disney World is the slowest, and it's too rough and jerky due to the old tracks. Disneyland California's is better since it's smoother, so is Tokyo's and Hong Kong's, but this is the wildest and most extreme SM anywhere, and once the best coaster in DP.

It might not have the fastest launch, as it only launches you to 44 mph in 1.8 seconds, with 1.5 g's, but it does have 3 inversions, yet it's the fastest one, at 44 mph, and has awesome theming. Yet, the way you sit means a lot of head banging, and when it was Mission 2, the track got rough, and a lot of heads were banging with each other, so it was hell in your heads in roughness.

Back when it was From the Earth to the Moon, it was DP's SM at its best, with perfect theming, and an original storyline. But then, in 2005, it became Mission 2, and I get that we've finished putting men on the Moon, yet at least Mission 2 still had originality compared to what it is now.

Now it's Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain, and this is DP's SM at its worst in... more

2 The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

It's the tallest attraction at Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris, and it's known for having a drop sequence, so it's the ultimate thrill of DP.
However unlike the original at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Disney World, it's shorter and has the same drop sequence for every rider, so it can get old for those who rode it many times.
Thrill level: 7/10

3 Rock N' Roller Coaster avec Aerosmith

It launches you from 0 to 57 mph in 2.8 seconds, and delivers 5 g's and includes 3 loops and is in the dark, yet Aerosmith blasts music into your eardrums.
The story of this one is that you're in an Aerosmith concert.
Yet the minimum height requirement is 48", so little kids will not be tall enough to ride.
Unfortunately, they're closing it soon to retheme into an Ironman experience.
They just want their $.
Thrill level: 6.5/10

4 Indiana Jones et le Temple du Peril

It's an old looking coaster, given the theme, and the 1st roller coaster with an inversion at a Disney park, and the minimum height requirement is 55", the highest minimum height requirement for a Disney ride anywhere, so it's definitely not for kids, so most likely for those 20 and up.
Thrill level: 6/10

5 Crush's Coaster

Love this ride. My favorite. So let's explain. You sit in a turtle shell which fits 4 people a car. You can face fowards or backwards. I always face fowards. You go up this small lift hill then you go zoom round a corner and that is the only time the ride goes outside. Then you go slowly round the fish and you see nemo and if you look up you see jelly fish. But there is more. You zoom up a lifthill and the shark jumps out then you stop for a bit. Then you zoom round corners down drops and even go sideways (but not upside down). I went backwards down this one drop and I screamed my head off. Then you slow down and the ride stops. I also forgot to mention you spin. If you like roller coaster that spin and make you scream but don't go upside down, then this is the ride to pick. This and big thunder mountain are my favorites at the park.

6 RC Racer

It's a simple looking Ride, yet it's a roller coaster where you go back and forth until you come to a complete stop, it's kinda like riding the pirate ship at fairs.
The minimum height requirement is 48", which is a lot for a not so extreme Disney coaster.
Thrill level: 6.5/10

7 Phantom Manor

So you think this will be a roller coaster if it is on top ten scary rides at Disneyland Paris but it is not this is a ride which has two sections. The first has moving portraits and fills like you are moving. The second is the ride it self when you sit on a little vehicle which fits two people and goes round phantom manor. This is a good ride to do located in frontier land next to big thunder mountain rail round. Last time I went in July it was closed for refurbishment so I couldn't ride but hopefully the next time I go I will experience it with its new refurbishment.

8 Orbitron Machines Volantes

It's a spinning ride like Dumbo, but you sit on these Buck Rogers style rockets, but you spin higher and faster.
There's no height requirement, but you can control the speed if you want comfort.
Thrill level: 2/10

My review:like dumbo but rocket themed only scary for people who are afraid of heights. Not a must see attraction but it is good to especially at night if you want good views of discovery land

9 Pirates of the Caribbean Pirates of the Caribbean is a dark ride attraction located in various Disney parks, including Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World in Florida. The ride takes visitors on a boat journey through various scenes that depict a pirate-infested Caribbean island. Originally conceived by Walt Disney... read more

This ride starts off as a lazy trip sailing through the caverns and scenery, and then you see Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew, you drop down a waterfall into the battle scene, and they battle along, firing cannons at you, and then with 1 blast, you drop down a waterfall towards the end.
2.5/10

10 Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a mine train roller coaster located in Frontierland at several Disneyland-style Disney Parks worldwide.

Ok why is this not on the list. This ride is a mine train rollercoaster and when I went on it I thought it be slow. Well hell nah it isn't it speeds you round the mountain and it is really good. Another thing to mention is that it is actually quite a long ride which is good but also means another thing long wait time. When I went in Late July it was 45 minutes which is good to wait but not every day. However,you can fast pass it but the fast pass is also quite busy but if you don't want to wait long then you can fast pass for later. My favourite in Disneyland park and crush coaster is my favourite in Walt Disney studios so a good ride to do in frontier land before or after phantom manor

The Contenders
11 Mad Hatter's Teacups

Disneyland Paris's teacups, you spin on the teacups, and you spin right round like a record teacup.
And your teacups are on spinning tables, and with all the spinning, those prone to motion sickness or have heath problems should not ride.
Although you can control the spinning.
2/10

12 Avengers Assemble: Flight Force

This's known as a retheme of Rock 'N' Roller Coaster & is based on the Avengers from Marvel. Disney is oversaturating on Marvel, but it still provides thrills. Without a doubt from the riders & reporters, they say it's 6.5/10.
