Top 10 Rides at the Disneyland Resort

I grew up riding Space Mountain, and I never get tired of it! It's one of the best coasters I've ridden, and I'm a coaster enthusiast who's ridden over 75 rollercoasters in my lifetime!

Sure, it may not be the most thrilling ride in existence, but for what it is, it's a masterpiece! One of Disney's finest projects to date.

I do think it's about time it gets a refurbishment so it gets some of the updated effects that rides such as Big Thunder Mountain and Matterhorn currently have. Hopefully, when Tomorrowland gets its much-needed refurbishment, this gets the massive makeover I want it to get so it's on par with its superior clone in Hong Kong.

Okay, enough rambling! This is an awesome ride, and I highly recommend riding it when you're at Disneyland. Besides, you wouldn't turn down one of the most famous coasters ever. Would you?

Splash Mountain, where do I begin? It's the best ride in the park. It tells a classic story, and the music and animatronics work so well.

The smaller drops are great, and the big drop is just amazing! Overall, Splash Mountain couldn't get better. It is a masterpiece of storytelling, technology, and thrill.

Best ride ever in any park! Relaxing, fun, thrilling all in one. Long ride, I think it's like 9 minutes long.

When you hit the climax (the big drop), you may think the ride is over, but it continues to go on. I could ride this thing all day long.

So many great things to say about this ride. First steel tubular roller coaster in the world! Glowing crystals, howling winds, splashing in an alpine lake, abominable snowmen! This attraction is a classic! I love the Matterhorn Bobsleds! It's a really fun attraction!

When I was a toddler, I had the Disneyland Fun Sing Along VHS. The Matterhorn was one of the rides that was featured on it. I have always wanted to visit Disneyland to ride it because of that video. In 2015, I got to ride it. I got the front seat just like in the VHS. It was fun!

Even though this ride has MANY technical problems and constant E-stops, it's a FANTASTIC dark ride! The theming is incredible, and it's super intense for the kind of ride it is!

Although I do prefer Test Track at EPCOT, Radiator Springs Racers at DCA, and Spider-Man at Islands of Adventure to this, it's still in my top 5 dark rides. You absolutely MUST check it out since hardly anything like it exists.

I love this ride so much! I always have to make sure I go on it at least twice every time I visit. This ride will not disappoint!

It's always slightly different each time you go. I also always love figuring out what changed each time.

LOVE! I can't get enough of this ride. The thrill, effects, and track are amazing. I've heard the goat trick is really neat. It's also long!

I LOVE this ride. It's SO much fun! It's my second favorite ride in all of Disneyland Resort (second to Radiator Springs Racers).

This is obviously my favorite ride! My siblings love this ride too!

Yes! Pirates of the Caribbean is timeless. The storytelling, animatronics, drops, music, and build-up are just amazing.

There is also the Blue Bayou restaurant inside the ride. I love how you traverse from the New Orleans bayou with the crickets chirping to deeper into the ride. It is long enough to tell the story and create a classic experience.

The Pirates of the Caribbean movies have a similar look based on the ride of the same name because those movies have, you know, Johnny Depp (Edward Scissorhands).

This ride is amazing, and I've been on it every single time I've visited Disneyland, even on my Christmas 2006 trip when I was 4 months old.

I love the history, nostalgia, and beauty that come with this ride! The Imagineering done for it is so admirable. You can't top it!

I liked the Haunted Mansion ride. It was amazing.

Underrated ride of awesomeness. No other ride in Disneyland has this many ride variables. It makes you feel as though you are in the wilderness with towering peaks, the smell of pine trees, and even geysers.

If you want to get wet, this is it! It has a variety of small drops, so it's better than the average water ride.

Being on this ride was the greatest 4-5 minutes of my life! SO much adrenaline, and a cool line/queue area.

This was remade into Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: Breakout!

This is the best ride in Disneyland. It should be number 1.

Disneyland is replacing it with California Screamin'. It will be an old thrill with a new twist.

Renamed from California Screamin' to the Incredicoaster. It will be an old thrill with a new twist!

I love California Screamin'! This is an awesome coaster and one of the best rides, not just in Disneyland but in every Disney park in the U.S!

It has that great launch, the loop, the huge drop, and don't forget Neil Patrick Harris giving you the countdown! Put it all together, and you've got California Screamin'! It should be number one!

R.I.P. California Screamin'. It had a good run, but Disney had to close it in 2018 for an Incredibles ride.
2001-2018.

Why is Space Mountain #1? That ride is punier.

It's the scariest ride we had in Disneyland, and it's sure to get you screaming in fear and excitement.

Perfect ride! You cannot ride this anywhere else, and that is what makes it a perfect ride! It feels as though you are flying through the state of California, with the mists you feel flying through the air, the oranges you smell flying through Napa, and the wide screen that immerses you into the ride. It's really such a peaceful, nostalgic, and fantastic experience!

Disney can make you feel like you are doing anything, even flying through the entire state of California! I know that they closed it down. It reopened for a limited time. I better go on it again before it is too late. But anyway, I highly recommend riding it. Anybody of any age will love it!

Overhated ride that's a lot of fun! The original was good, but this is better. The randomized show sequences, along with the updated simulator, are both great and gave the aging ride new life.

I hope the rumors of it closing by 2019 or 2020 aren't true because I do enjoy this ride!

Amazing lighting and theming. I adore the Mr. Potato Head animatronic. The soundtrack is the best.

The way you interact by firing balls on the screen with a toy cannon is amazing! It is always so fun to rack up those points and, if you are a pro, unlock the secret levels on the ride.

I think it's creepy and can be annoying, but I can respect what it did for the theme parks. Plus, without Small World, we wouldn't have gotten Pirates of the Caribbean as a boat ride. (It was going to be a wax museum at first.)

This is the most classic Disneyland ride of all time. Everyone needs to respect that. Behind Sleeping Beauty Castle, this is what I think of, and I am sure most people feel the same, whether they admit it or not.

You would think it would be for little kids, but I really enjoyed it.

It's a great and fun classic. You really feel like you are flying through London and Neverland.

This ride does not get enough attention because of the ridiculously long line for such a short ride.

I remember not expecting much from this ride, but I was wrong! The spinning is so much fun (you use the steering wheel). It's a long ride, and the dark ride elements are great!

Love it! It's a perfect mix of a spinning ride and a dark ride!

I loved this ride as a kid. What makes this ride the most fun, other than the ability to freely turn, is driving through the jungle and passing by rides like the Matterhorn.

It's more of a road trip adventure rather than just a driving race. That's what makes it a great and classic ride.

It's not just a ride where you drive your own car. You go through a jungle, a car park, and other pretend locations. I loved it!

This ride is amazing! The lighting and theming make it perfect! You feel like you are actually in space as you fight aliens and robots in the void of space, on a distant alien planet, and even in Zurg's secret lair! You feel like you are a space ranger while, at the same time, you feel like a toy. The experience is truly amazing!

And if that is not enough, this ride is interactive! You are able to blast at the enemies to rack up points and get the best high score. You aim for certain shapes, and different shapes earn different amounts of points. Circles give 100 points, squares give 1000 points, diamonds give 5000 points, and triangles give 10000 points. If a shape lights up, that means that the shape's point value just multiplied by 10!

The secret is to fire right near the middle of Zurg's breastplate. If you blast it in just the right spot, you earn 40,000 points! This is my favorite ride in the park, and I recommend riding it with the family.
