                                                          1.) Rock 'n' Roller Coaster
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith is one of Disney's more exhilarating rides. This extreme coaster located indoors is a high speed thrill ride that begins with a tour of the fictional G-Force Records. Here Guests encounter Aerosmith finishing up a studio recording session. They notice all of their fans and get you backstage passes and invite you to the concert that they are currently late for. From there you all head to the boarding area to climb into a 24 passenger "stretch limo" and then your journey begins. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is an attraction for fans of cutting-edge thrill rides. Jam to Aerosmith tunes along the ride. Although the rock icons and synchronized music add a lot to the experience, the ride itself offers loops, corkscrews and drops that makes this the best attraction in Walt Disney World in my opinion. Granted Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is not for everyone but if your up for the challenge or you love roller coasters then I would definitely recommend it!
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is located in Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World. (Next to Hollywood Tower of Terror on your map) The minimum height requirement for this attraction is 48"and expected mothers or Guests with motion sickness should not ride.

                                                        2.) Pirates of the Caribbean
Pirates of the Caribbean is a water based dark ride which tells you a story of how a band of Pirates sail the Caribbean and then run into some trouble. One reason why I put this attraction so high up on my list is because this ride was the last attraction that was overseen by Walt Disney himself; he passed away three months before it opened. Pirates of the Caribbean is one of the world's most popular and well-loved Disney attractions. This indoor cruise ride brings you through a series of sets that depict a pirates raid on an island settlement, from destruction of a fortress to debauchery after their victory. During this boat ride, guests float through an immersive, larger-than-life pirate adventure featuring gunshots, cannon blasts, and burning buildings, all set to pirates carousing and pillaging while singing Yo Ho (A Pirates Life For Me). In my opinion definitely one of the most influential theme park attractions ever created. The success of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies have boosted the rides popularity, which lead to the addition of animatronic figures and other characters from the film's such as Captain Jack Sparrow, Blackbeard, Davy Jones and Captain Barbossa.

 Pirates of the Caribbean is located in Magic Kingdom in Adventure land right next to the Jungle Cruise. 
    
        3.) Haunted Mansion
The Haunted Mansion attraction commands respect from the moment you see it from across the Rivers of America or the western fringes of Liberty Square. This attraction also has been one of the first attractions in Walt Disney World when it started over in Disneyland, California. The house is imposing, grand, and elicits an emotional response from their Guests. Once inside, you're treated to a long and hair raising journey into the boundless realm of the supernatural. The attraction is filled with animatronics, spooky detailing, memorable special effects and an entertaining pre-show. The Haunted Mansion in Walt Disney World has undergone further changes in recent years with the new queue added to the experience and projections of the Hitchhiking Ghosts, which is my favorite part of the attraction. It's so unique in it's tone and solidifies it's spot in Disney history; it makes the Haunted Mansion a reflection of the best styles and modes that Disney had to offer in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

 The Haunted Mansion is located in Liberty Square in Magic Kingdom. (The yellow brick road are on the map)
                                           4.)Twilight Zone: Hollywood Tower of Terror
The attraction is definitely one of my favorites not just for the thrill ride itself, but how Disney sets the stage for the legendary Hollywood Tower Hotel. Before you even walk in, you're greeted with the chilling jazz music and the Spanish moss on the tree branches. When you make you're way through that, you find yourself in a cob web covered lobby with a 1930's decor of phones, luggage, chandeliers and furniture. You enter a library next where Rob Serling from Twilight Zone is speaking from an old black and while television and introduces the plot. After that you are in a creepy basement with boilers and elevators. You then enter a service elevator and the climax of the adventure occurs when the elevator reaches the top floor and the cable snaps. Disney has also programmed random lift-and-drop sequences into the mix, making the attraction faster and keeping you guessing about when, how far, and how many times the elevator will fall. No other attraction in Walt Disney World sets the stage better in my opinion and it's definitely one of the best attractions in Walt Disney World.

Hollywood Tower of Terror is located towards the right of the park near Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and is honestly the first building you see when you walk in the entrance of the park. The minimum height requirement for this ride 40" and expected mothers or people with motion sickness should not ride.



Expedition Everest: Animal Kingdom Park

                                                         5.) Expedition Everest
The Expedition Everest adventure begins when Guests board an old mountain railway destined for Mount Everest. As the train heads for the snowy mountain peak, it passes through bamboo forests, waterfalls and fields of glaciers. This high speed train adventure combines coaster-like thrills with the excitement of a close encounter with the Abominable Snowman. The excitement begins when it's discovered that the train tracks end in a twisted wreck and metal. The train goes backwards and forwards through darkness, which makes for being one of the best rides in Walt Disney World. Guests truly love this attraction and Animal Kingdom has had more Guests attend their park ever since they started building this mountain. Definitely a must do!

Expedition Everest is located in Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World. When you enter the park, go towards the right into Asia or you can cut through Dino Land USA and you will see a big mountain.(you can't miss it)the minimum height requirement for this attraction is 44" and expected mothers or Guests with motion sickness should not ride.
