number 10
bonjour from disneyland paris where our
list begins with the wildest ride in the
wilderness
across the rivers of the far west in
frontierland you'll notice the 108 foot
butte inspired by the monument valley
and home to big thunder mountain this
iconic disney mountain opened on april
12 1992 and was primarily based off the
design of big thunder mountain at walt
disney world it was the fourth version
of the ride and it's also the fastest
reaching top speeds of up to 41 miles or
66 kilometers per hour
big thunder mountain takes you up three
lift hills down multiple drops taking
twists and turns through the old mine
town on this wild train ride
the big difference with this version of
big thunder is the fact that it's on the
island where tom sawyer island would
normally be found in the other parks
your train actually travels under the
rivers of the far west at the beginning
and end of your journey which just adds
an extra layer of excitement it's a
really unique part of the experience
that makes this version of big thunder
mountain stand out from the rest

oversized rc car the vehicle starts
accelerating forwards and backwards
making its way further and further up
the 91 foot half pipe reaching a top

hour the coaster is on the shorter side
with a ride time of just under a minute
but it's still enough time to feel that
free fall sensation especially when

but notice the massive ski jump which
just happens to be the flagship
attraction

free fall water slides in the world
once you're at the top be prepared to
plunge down 12 stories as you reach a

intense
and because it's just your body against
the slide you really feel this one in
your gut within about five seconds

bottom making that white water splash
looking at it can be a bit intimidating
at first but once you take the leap it's
an extremely thrilling and fun
experience

disney world future world's test track

indoor and outdoor performance courses
your journey starts off slow but as you
get going you'll experience some pretty
quick accelerations and stops through
the indoor futuristic show scenes
[Music]
they aren't too thrilling but there's a
lot of cool visuals similar to tron but
not tron but they do prepare you for the
most thrilling part of the ride
