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.
