Top 25 Roller Coasters at the Disney Parks

[@OriginalJoe]

This video’s pacing was great, the theming was excellent, and it even had a light pop of airtime.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thank you lol

[@zacg_]

Wow! Slinky Dog over Rock N Rollercoaster. That is a sizzling hot take. Also, I'm glad to see MK Space Mountain so high. I often hear both the general public and enthusiasts dismiss it as janky and inferiorly themed compared to its counterparts. But that layout is so good. And I still think the theming is excellent. Yes, other iterations are smoother and it is a family coaster. But it packs a punch and it's always a good time.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Slinky is one of my favorite coasters, so I'm biased. But I love how that coaster interacts with the land.

[@StamfordBridge]

In a way for me Disney is a victim of the high standards it has set, in that cheap knockoff coasters that would just get a shrug at any other park seem almost insulting at a Disney park.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That's very true. Although I am not a big fan of mice at chain parks either.

[@Lemonaidz7]

I mean that goes for almost any high standard park. I’m pretty sure if a wild mouse was just plopped down in the middle of Phantasialand people would be confused

[@StamfordBridge]

@@Lemonaidz7 Cedar Point is considered one of the top parks in the world and it just got a wild mouse. It’s a bit weird for such a crowded park, but not shocking. Disney is known for rides that are themed experiences, so I find that a cheap wild mouse at a Disney park is something shocking and disappointing. That said, I would put Phantasialand, Europa, Universal, and Efteling in the same category as Disney in this regard, as they’re all known for rides that are high-level themed experiences, unlike most of the rest of the parks around the world.

I am a massive coaster enthusiast that has rode things like Steel Vengeance , Fury 325, and ArieForce One. Despite this, Cosmic Rewind is in my top 10. That’s how good it is.

I prefer the rides you mentioned over Cosmic Rewind, but I still love Guardians.

[@beddingfieldcoasters5778]

@@CanobieCoaster the rides I mentioned are better than cosmic rewind, but it is still in my top 10

[@gregorymoore2877]

I'm surprised to see the Matterhorn rated so low. Every time I played Disney's Coaster on my computer, the judges made it sound like the Matterhorn was unbeatable? I was also surprised to learn all the Disney parks have as many as 25 coasters between them.

[@StamfordBridge]

The Matterhorn is extremely important historically (and I’m old enough that I perceive the ride with far too much nostalgia to be objective), but my impression is that most younger coaster enthusiasts consider it a pretty low level coaster.

[@joeygassmann5595]

No Fing way Matterhorn falls below a boring Maurer spinnner. I agree, this is a very hot take

[@CanobieCoaster]

I really like the Tomorrowland side of the Matterhorn, but I've never been a big fan of the Fantasyland side.

[@iloveappleyoutube7198]

Matterhorn looks tame but it’s really crazy. It has really forceful turns and very minimalistic restraints- it only has a single seat belt. Plus the fact that it was built in the late 1950’s is nuts. I really like it, and it still holds up great to this day. Space Mountain is also great. It feels a lot faster than it is because it’s in the dark.

[@CanobieCoaster]

The Tomorrowland side is so much better.

[@iloveappleyoutube7198]

@@CanobieCoaster true

[@elitelord5350]

I’ve ridden all the Disney coasters in California, Florida, Japan and Paris but my favorite is still Big Thunder Mountain in Paris.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That's the best Big Thunder by far.

[@AMagicProduction]

Speaking of not having some of these credits, specifically at HKDL- do you have any plans of visiting that park soon? It’s a great park, and personally find it better and more charming than Shanghai Disneyland

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'd like to visit those 2 Disney parks. I just don't know when.

[@acefist5502]

I will always have California Screamin’ as my favorite disney coaster because the soundtrack is amazing and the thrill was very high for disney from 2013 to 2016 I would say it had it as my number one as I was only 6 1/2 at the time I rode it first in 2013.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That soundtrack was fantastic.

[@micoasters]

Primeval whirl was recently scrapped, i can’t help but think sky school will follow

[@CanobieCoaster]

I would not be surprised.

[@mateoalvira3514]

Canobie Coaster would say: Number 21: Indiana Jones et le Temple du Peril at Disneyland Paris. This is another off-the-shelf layout, but this one is very well-themed as you wind around an ancient temple. This keeps the elements hidden both on and off-ride. The layout is identical to the Pinfari looping zyklons that can be found elsewhere, but this one was built by Intamin. The ride is not the most comfortable between the hard restraints and quick directional changes, but it's tolerable if you lean forwards. This allowed me to enjoy the pops of airtime on the elevation changes and... A) the floaty vertical loop at the end of the ride. B) the very forceful vertical loop at the end of the ride. C) the floaty vertical loop midway through the ride. D) the very forceful vertical loop midway through the ride.

[@CanobieCoaster]

D

[@StamfordBridge]

Excited by this ranking given that I’m visiting Disneyworld for the first time this summer.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Enjoy!

[@ScottyMania313]

When I watched Usher's Superbowl Halftime show, I could only think of Tron. Great lighting, fun and atmosphere.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That was a good show.

[@ralelunar]

Hyperspace Mountain always makes me laugh because they didn't remove the Jules Verne theming from the facade of the building.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's definitely odd walking past a sign for the Baltimore Gun Club before boarding a Star Wars coaster.

[@josh0108]

How have you managed to put out these 15+ min reviews and countdowns almost everyday?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I had a backlog available and can make them efficiently.

[@mitchellries256]

My favorite Disney coaster is California Screamin' (haven't ridden it as Incredicoaster yet), followed by Matterhorn Bobsleds (Fantasyland and Tomorrowland respectively), Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom (haven't ridden the one at Disneyland yet), Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (Disneyland and Magic Kingdom respectively), Rock n' Roller Coaster, Expedition Everest, Goofy's Sky School, Primeval Whirl (R.I.P.), and Barnstormer.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Definitely a much different list than mine. Hopefully you still like Incredicoaster when you get back on it with the theme change.

[@acefist5502]

Incredicoaster for me will never be as good as Screamin as it was the coaster that got me into roller coasters when I first rode it at age 6. It’s pretty much my number 0 as I have too much of a connect to it to rank reasonably.

[@Matthewthetrollsloverisback23]

I don't count Primeval Whirl as two separate credits. They were pretty much the same ride regardless of what side cast members took you to

[@CanobieCoaster]

I count it as two since the two sides could operate independently.

[@aegisofhonor]

I got to ride Space Mountain twice back in 1994, fantastic coaster with lots of great turns. The 2nd time was not as enjoyable due to the fact I had a sunburn (pro tip, don't ride a completely dark ride where you can't see in front of you with a sun burn).

[@CanobieCoaster]

Ouch!

[@micoasters]

When I went to animal kingdom, the area where primeval whirl was was deserted. None of the rides were open and there was no one there. They should have gotten that planned excavator wood coaster

[@CanobieCoaster]

That area really needs an overhaul.

[@AG7-MTM]

Although I have not been on any, i think the MK thunder mountain is better. Before the second lift, most versions have a shallow straight drop, but MK has a double trick-track that looks cool

[@CanobieCoaster]

The trick track is cool, but I far prefer Paris's underground tunnels.

[@RankingTheMouse]

This is a fantastic ranking. Cant wait to see it in full after youve visited Shanghai & HKDL 👌 Our rankings are super similar, except for Space at MK. That ride doesnt even crack my Top 10 but its in your #2. Thats about all i disagree on - the rest is a near-perfect ranking 👏👏

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm guessing you find that one uncomfortable?

[@RankingTheMouse]

@CanobieCoaster definitely, uncomfortable & outdated. Although I grew up with DLR Space & didnt ride MK Space until 2020, so I admit I'm certainly biased towards DLs version. And I do really enjoy the exit queue to MK Space

[@jacobselleck9750]

The fans on Space Mountain is a total Disney myth. Fun story but been proven wrong many times

[@CanobieCoaster]

Admittedly saying fans is an oversimplification. I've heard the air ducts are designed to intentionally have the AC blow opposite the direction of motion, but it's difficult to prove. I can say that California's feels way faster than Tokyo's though.

[@IAmMiami]

Ha! My guy does not like 7D Mine Train. I'd put it just above Crush because of the swinging. Big Grizzly is a top 10 Disney coaster for me. Gotta get over there next year.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I hope to get to Shanghai and Hong Kong Disneyland in the future.

[@garywillig5143]

I went to Disney World last month and got to do every coaster but the sadly-closed Rock'n Roller Coaster and the Barnstormer. My ranking based on my rides from last month is 1. Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Expedition Everest (the only coaster I was able to do more than once, great ride) 3. Tron Lightcycle Run 4. Slinky Dog Dash (this might have been lower if I had gotten a day ride instead of a night ride) 5. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad 6. Seven Dwarves Mine Train 7. Space Mountain. Ranking Space Mountain in last place as the worst coaster in Disney World is probably a hot take, but my ride on it was the most forceless, roughest, and visually least interesting of any coaster I went on. There was no airtime whatsoever and the only force was how rough it was running. Even Seven Dwarves had more forces in the back row, plus the great theming and novelty of the swinging train cars. Big Thunder also failed to deliver any airtime despite my being in the last car, but it still had good laterals and of course the gorgeous mountain, and was nowhere near as rough. I think Space Mountain is in desperate need of a refurbishment, maybe even a retracking.

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

SM Is Fine You Just Got A Horrible Ride On It The Airtime Is Some Of The Strongest In Florida And Its Pretty Smooth

[@CanobieCoaster]

Sorry you had a bad ride on Space Mountain and Big Thunder. I know people can find Space Mountain jerky, but I've always gotten airtime on it.

[@theskullspookychannel6343]

You forgot to include The Barnstormer at Magic Kingdom and Flounder's Flying Fish Coaster at Tokyo Disneysea, if I had to guess..they would both be placed towards the bottom next to Gadget's.

[@CanobieCoaster]

They would be under Gadgetcoaster.

[@anthonyschwartz10]

I’m just gonna pretend Rock n Roller coaster is swapped with the iron man coaster🫣other than that great list, especially with MK Space Mountain being the best one

Sorry, I like the Marvel overlay myself and that one runs faster.
