Most Masochistic Disney Rides

Disney Rides that are loved and thrilled by those with a pleasure of pain or discomfort.
The Top Ten
1 Mission: SPACE (Epcot) Mission: Space is a centrifugal motion simulator thrill ride at Epcot in Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.

It creates G-forces during liftoff, lunar orbital insertion, and reentry that are extremely painful, intense, and make your brain feel like it’s gonna be crushed flat and fall right out of your skull.

Also, the feeling of weightlessness adds to it, and it’s just hell in your head and body.
It makes you learn and realize the stresses real astronauts go through in training and spaceflight.

I haven’t been on this ride before, and neither has my son, but those stories he saw of people’s times there and his subjects with me got me putting this on here at #1.
It’s the perfect Disney ride for a masochist.

2 The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (Disney's Hollywood Studios) The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, also known as Tower of Terror, is an accelerated drop tower dark ride located at Disney's Hollywood Studios, Tokyo DisneySea, Walt Disney Studios Park, and formerly located at Disney California Adventure Park. Except for the Tokyo DisneySea version, the attractions are inspired by Rod Serling's anthology television series, The Twilight Zone, and take place in the fictional Hollywood Tower Hotel in Hollywood, California.

It has a drop sequence, which is pretty intense, and it has lots of drops that’ll get your gut and brain from the negative and positive g-forces.
Whiplash ensues, so perfect for masochists and fear seekers.
Expect to get an elongated neck like a giraffe when you drop.

3 Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain (Disneyland Paris)
4 Rock N’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith (Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disneyland Paris)
5 California Screamin’ (Disneyland)

It’s the wildest ride at Disneyland, and includes a launch from 0 to 55 mph in 4 seconds, large bunny hills, turns, drops, a loop, and preceding onwards with more drops and turns and bunny hills until the ride finally ends.

The drops are gut wrenching and the loop is crushing and dizzying(especially for those prone to motion sickness), and it’s sure a ride to get your heart rate rocketing.

They tell you to keep your head back, as it’s a ride with a powerful beginning to end that’ll give you whiplash especially if you mess around.

6 Expedition Everest (Disney's Animal Kingdom)
7 Autopia (Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, Disney Paris)
8 Primeval Whirl (Disney's Animal Kingdom)
9 Dinosaur (Disney's Animal Kingdom)
10 Space Mountain (Magic Kingdom) Space Mountain is the name of a space-themed indoor roller coaster attraction located at five of the Magic Kingdom-style Disney Parks.

This is the only Space Mountain besides the one in Paris that is pleasing enough for masochists.

I know this might not seem like so much to other people, but the tracks are rough and jerky, from old age and use, and many people come off with back and neck pain or discomfort.

The Disneyland California and Tokyo Disneyland ones are much smoother, so masochists won’t find them pleasing.

If it got refurbished, it would be a perfect ride for many good people, but it would be a huge disappointment for masochists.

The Contenders
11 Matterhorn Bobsleds (Disneyland)

The Matterhorn Bobsled is not that bumpy of a ride. I don't know why guys like Gregory have such a problem with it. Just hold onto the side bars, lean back, brace, and enjoy the call of adventure.

My sister and I went on this and my back and sides kept bumping everywhere. It didn’t bother me, and it was a lot of fun to ride.

12 Snow White’s Scary Adventures (original Magic Kingdom version)

The witch just jump scares you every ten seconds. ONE HECK OF A NIGHTMARE!

13 Goofy’s Sky School (Disneyland)
14 Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris) Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a mine train roller coaster located in Frontierland at several Disneyland-style Disney Parks worldwide.
15 Summit Plummet (Disney's Blizzard Beach)

You drop 120 feet down from 50 to 60 mph (depending on your weight), and it's really intense and will hurt your butt and over-exfoliate and burn your skin when you get to the bottom.

16 Slush Gusher (Disney's Blizzard Beach)

Smaller than Summit Plummet, but still big, a wild slide to burn you and wipe you out.

17 Crush N' Gusher (Disney's Typhoon Lagoon)

It's a series of 3 water coasters, the Banana Blaster, the Coconut Crusher, and the Pineapple Plunger.
Each has its own thrills, and roughness in their middles, banging your butts throughout the ride.
Masochists might want to try them out.

18 Slinky Dog Dash (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

It's on here because it's not simply the ride experience that's masochistic, but the fact that most of the Queue is shadeless and has poor air conditioning and at the same time you're standing on hot concrete and getting your feet and shoes burnt.
Yet the air conditioning isn't enough to cool you down enough and the heat from all the people's bodies just makes the wait worse.
Wait times can be long and most of that time is in these horrible conditions.
Don't go on it unless you're a masochist.

19 Extraterrorestrial Alien Encounter (Magic Kingdom)
20 Tron Lightcycle Power Run (Shanghai Disneyland & Magic Kingdom)

The handlebars are made of metal, so when you grip the bars and launch forward, that's gotta do a number of your hands. Not to mention the restraints almost cut through your calves.

21 Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (Epcot)

Not much to say here besides the fact that you get whipped really hard and spin around to the point of getting dizzy. Headaches and vomiting may ensue. Talk about motion sickness for some (though it's no Mission Space).
