This extremely thrilling roller coaster takes you on a daring expedition to encounter the elusive Yeti, a mythical creature said to guard the forbidden mountain.

Hold on tight as you hurtle through dark tunnels, race, and plummet down heart-stopping drops, all while encountering unexpected twists and turns (if you know, you know. If you don’t know, here is the spoilers).
If you’re looking for a traditional roller coaster (with some unconventional twists and turns), Expedition Everest will be one of the best Disney Animal Kingdom attractions for you.
After all, it’s a captivating blend of excitement, storytelling, and thrills that will leave you with a rush of adrenaline and a sense of accomplishment for conquering the legendary Forbidden Mountain.

Embark on an otherworldly adventure unlike any other on Avatar Flight of Passage!
On this simulator ride, step into Pandora, inspired by the infamous movie, “Avatar,” and prepare for an unforgettable journey through the skies of this mythical planet.
Feel the wind rush through your hair, and become immersed in the sights, sounds, and scents of Pandora’s breathtaking ecosystem.
The exhilarating sensation of flight and the incredible attention to detail make Avatar Flight of Passage a truly immersive and unforgettable experience.
Is it weird that you’re flying on a banshee? Yes. Is it weird that you can feel the banshee breathing? Also, yes.
But, it’s unlike any other Disney World simulator ride, and if you can brave the long queues, or purchase a Lightning Lane, you probably won’t regret it.
3. Kali River Rapids
Height Restriction: 38in (97cm) +
Highlights: Water rides, small drops and A LITTLE spinning
Location: Asia
Escape the heat and embrace a thrilling aquatic adventure on the Kali River Rapids!
Set sail on a white-water rafting expedition through a magnificent jungle in Asia.
As you board your raft, get ready for a wild and wet journey filled with unexpected twists and turns. Glide past mesmerizing waterfalls, ancient ruins, and vibrant landscapes, all while encountering the natural wonders of the rainforest.
To be perfectly honest, calling this a straight-up “thrill ride” may be a bit of a stretch.
Sure, it’s got some small drops. And, you may get splashed slightly, but it’s hardly a roller coaster.
If you board this thinking it will be as thrilling as Expedition Everest, you’ll probably be disappointed.
But if you expect a relatively calm and uneventful water ride, you’ll appreciate the stunning simplicity of this ride 🌊

But don’t forget: danger is always lurking. After all, this is a ride about dinosaurs!
It isn’t a roller coaster, but the dark theming brings a thrilling element to the ride.
So, hold on tight as you travel through the ages and witness the incredible world of DINOSAUR! 🦕🌎🎢🦖
