10. Flying Unicorn - Islands of Adventure

Everyone has to start somewhere, right?

9. Dueling Dragons (Ice) - Islands of Adventure

Choose Thy Fate. Let me dispel any rumors. Yes, I do believe that one side is better than the other. If you picked Ice you're in for a good ride. The Ice dragon is the tamer dragon of the two, but it features some very cool elements. The ride doesn't feel as wild as it's competition but it is still a great ride. The near misses make the ride worth going on alone, and I think one of the unsung moments of the Ice course is the cobra roll. For some reason, I feel that it is one of the most effective near misses and it doesn't even involve the other track.

8. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - Magic Kingdom

An absolute classic. I remember going on this as a youngling, and being terrified of the headchopper effects on the drops. That was then, this is now, and they still get me on occasion. The ride is so very well themed, and the feel of it is just authentic. This is a ride where as long as it is open, I'll be riding it for nostalgia value alone.

7. Dueling Dragons (Fire) - Islands of Adventure

The wild child of the two. I think the Fire dragon is a little more unique because it features 2 non typical elements. The immleman loop, it's first inversion, is a great inversion that isn't used enough. It gives you a great feeling of weightless-ness for a second. The second is a very, very typical thing that isn't used much on inverted coasters, and that is a simple bunnyhill as the Ice dragon goes through it's zero-G roll. The 2 corkscrews at the end provide good G's and make this ride one of the better inverts out there.

6. Space Mountain - Magic Kingdom

Another Disney classic. Set the standard for the indoor, dark roller coaster. The ride doesn't live up to the Coaster standards many people have, but if you're a hardcore theme park fanatic, you'll appreciate what's so special about Space Mountain. The classic tunnel of light is a sight that will never leave my mind. Traveling through it can be something truly special that if you haven't been on the ride, is worth a ride alone.

5. The Incredible Hulk Coaster - Islands of Adventure

Widely regarded by many as the best... but you know what? I don't think it is. Do I think the Hulk is a good ride? Most definitely. However, I do think it is overrated. The ride features a fantastic beginning over the Islands of Adventure lagoon. The zero-g roll, cobra roll, and loop are all top notch. I will say that I feel after that point, the ride is dull. It loses speed and my interest very quickly. Hulk is worth the rush, but is by no means #1.

4. Expedition Everest - Disney's Animal Kingdom

Hop aboard a train for a ride around Mount Everest. The story of the Yeti is enough to scare away many explorers, but that's all a rumor, right? Wrong. As the coaster progresses up and through the mountain, you are constantly derailed by the Yeti creature. The ride features top notch theming and great coaster. One of the most renowned parts of the ride is the animatronic Yeti at the end of the ride. You eventually come face to face with the creature. It is a stunning 22 feet tall.

3. Rock N' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith - Disney's Hollywood Studios

If you love rock music and roller coasters, this ride is the perfect mix of awesomeness. The ride opened in 1999 and is another fantastic indoor coaster. The pre-show is always a treat as you see Aerosmith recording in the studio and inviting you to their concert at the civic center. They send us stretch limos that will get us there in a flash. They mean it. The ride accelerates from 0-57mph in 2.8 seconds. The ride has a great soundtrack as the tunes of Aerosmith flow through the speakers in front of you. It features some of their hits such as "Walk this Way", "Love in an Elevator", and "Sweet Emotion". A great mix of different elements to send home fans of two things happy.

2. Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride - Universal Studios Florida

A mix of storytelling and thrill ride mixed perfectly. I remember when the Mummy was being constructed, I wasn't too sure about this one. I figured they would either focus too much on the story or too much on the ride. Universal did a fantastic job of taking the two elements and putting them together. The queue is amazing and looks completely authentic. The ride definitely doesn't forget it's origins either by leaving a little tribute to the Monkey that made that building. The ride has some great effects and a fake unload station that is one of the more interesting ideas I've ever seen. Overall, Revenge of the Mummy is a must ride.

1. Kraken - SeaWorld Orlando

I don't know why this ride gets overlooked so much. Sure, it's at SeaWorld, but SeaWorld is also a pretty popular spot. This ride to me, is easily the #1 roller coaster in all of Orlando. The ride is the first floorless coaster in Orlando. The Kraken is a mythological sea monster and is a gigantic squid/eel type creature. The ride is like it's characteristics in two ways, it lies by the water and it is definitely filled with many twists and turns. The ride is a classic B&M coaster. Features a gigantic vertical loop, a great zero-g roll, and an awesome cobra roll. Even after Kraken hits it's mid course breaks, it still doesn't let up. It interacts with it's environment perfectly to provide for a great ride, the best in Orlando.
