Thrill Rides In Orlando Disney World
by Chris Chew
Orlando in the state of Florida was a peaceful quiet little
town endowed with lush farmlands and many orange
groves. Orlando's quiet facade was permanently disrupted
with the arrival of Orlando Disney World in 1971 with much
fanfare. Suddenly the whole world took notice of Orlando
which was a relatively unknown town to people outside
America. Since then almost 50 million people travel to
Orlando every year to have a taste of Disney's magic and
to sample Disney's world famous thrill rides.

Here are just some of the many thrill rides in Orlando
Disney World that are attracting so many tourists.

In the fantasy Magic Kingdom, go for an outdoor, narrated
river boat cruise into the jungle where you get to meet
audio-animatronic hippopotamus, elephants & lions. You will
cruise the rivers of 4 continents and will encounter exotic
animals in jungle and ancient ruins settings.

While still feeling adventurous, make a beeline to the
Pirates of the Caribbean theme park touted to be one of the
most popular thrill rides for tourists in Orlando Disney
World. The Pirates of the Caribbean has entertained
millions of visitors on a thrilling adventure through dark,
mysterious caverns and caves where 'dead men tell no
tales'. Or do they? Go find out for yourself at the Pirates of
the Caribbean.

The approximately nine minute thrill ride, starring a cast of
rascals, scoundrels and villains send visitors on a rollicking
boat ride to a Caribbean port under siege by a
swashbuckling band of pirates.

After your escape from the pirates, you may want to soar
into the sky with the Magic Carpets of Aladdin. Aladdin was
a much loved and popular movie that inspires this thrill ride.
Set in a world of flying carpets, genies and magic lamps of
the Arabian knights, visitors will be sent flying on an Arabian
themed adventure with a young Aladdin.

We get down to earth or rather into earth next at the Big
Thunder Mountain Railroad ride in Frontierland. Take this
thrilling roller-coaster ride through the gorges and caverns
of a deserted gold mine, on a runaway mine train. Swoop
through the 179-foot-high red stone mountain and on to
Tumbleweed, a flooded mining town of the wild wild west.

Right next to the Big Thunder Railroad ride is the Slash
Mountain ride. This ride features special effects that give
the show its animated quality a heart-stopping finale.

Splash Mountain stars a cast of 68 Audio-Animatronics
characters, one of the largest groups of animated figures
ever assembled in a Walt Disney World attraction. To begin
the 11-minute adventure ride, visitors will have to climb on
board an eight-person flume log to traverse the canals of a
flooded mountain.

The adventure is loaded with twists, turns and splashes of
thrilling excitement. It culminates when visitors, tucked into
their flume logs, plunge over the top of a steep spillway,
whizzing from the mountaintop to a briar-covered pond five
stories below. You will certainly get very wet with the 50 feet
plunge. Well, this is a Splash ride as its name suggested
after all. You have been warned.

There are many more rides in Orlando Disney World and to
describe them in words will be doing injustices to the rides
of which the magic can only be experienced when you take
the rides on your Disneyland vacation.
