This ride has fallen so far down my list it now feels almost like an afterthought. Goofy's Sky School is Disney's mouse coaster, even though it doesn't even feature THEIR famous mouse. Huh? The theming also makes me go "Huh?", because it doesn't scream Goofy or Sky to me AT ALL. It just screams 'cheap'. For Disney coasters, pretty mediocre. I think the nose dive and hairpin turns are the only redeemable qualities (which do make up for other misses).

Space Mountain is a classic Disney coaster that is thrilling and not thrilling at the same time. How? Well it goes 28 miles per hour....but if feels like you're flying through space in the dark. This is the inferior Space Mountain to the one in Anaheim, but it's still very classic and has a great retro feel. The extreme darkness paired with a single-file ride vehicle makes it feeling like you're going to fly out. My dad and my sister don't put their hands up on this. I just yell.

5. 4. 3. 2. 1. GO! Those words are burned into my mind. And for good reason, because I really love Incredicoaster. Currently, it has my favorite launch --- and has some pretty nice views and drops to boot. The fun and stylized Incredibles theme and score is there, plus the ride just has so many iconic moments. The big loop is just okay, it doesn't really hurt the ride experience. Overall, a great thrill and a superb Disney coaster!

I mean, WHAT CAN I SAY? EPCOT finally got the standout attraction they were missing, and it's one of the greatest coasters ever. Not only do I love the Guardians, but I love spinning coasters (so this seems like a match made out of heaven). And clearly I'm not the only one who absolutely love this ride as it always get the LONGEST waits. But let's talk over the ride experience! It's just incredibly fun, like I have the most fun on my trip when I'm riding Guardians. It's such an easy coaster to lap and re-ride, thanks to the on-ride audio. Plus, there are seven BANGER songs on the soundtrack, with my favorite being September. When you ride in the back row, you are constantly turning and dropping and being whipped around. There is so much going on everywhere that it's almost hard to focus on the story. Speaking of the story, it really elevates the pre-ride experience between the interesting queue and funny pre-show. The loading station and theming is also amazing. But it doesn't end there! Since this is the longest indoor coaster in the world, it really makes use of it's space in the huge warehouse. I feel like it's Space Mountain but more crazy, especially if we're talking about the god-tier backwards launch, wrap-around screens, or intense helix around the moon. I really do appreciate that it's not TOO thrilling though, because my dad doesn't love coasters and he really likes this. In conclusion, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is just a masterclass of Walt Disney Imagineering. If we're talking about the complete ride experience, this may be the best coaster from Earth to Xandar.

Flight Deck is one of the best B&M inverts out there, and the best ride in the park. And that's because it is just so non-stop intense. I don't think any ride gives that sensory overload. One second, you're gracefully dangling your feet, with a view of Levi's Stadium. The next, you're plummeting 90 feet, then hitting an insane zero-g roll, finishing with an even more insane pair of elements over the water. Flight Deck always leaves me out of breath on the break run, and wanting more. I want to ride it AGAIN! It is so crazy, so whippy, yet smooth and fun at the same time. Not to mention the great queue theming and music. If it was a bit longer, Flight Deck would truly be the full package.

TRON is a ride that I knew before knowing there was even movies. I guess I can't say whether Disney did a good job adapting the movie(s) into a ride, but I really like the coaster, so who cares? I think the best best of TRON is just how aesthetically pleasing it is. Between the canopy and insanely cool indoor screens, you start to realize how expensive this ride is. The queue is just amazing, with electric blue lighting, an epic pre-show, and screens everywhere. Also, the *sick* Daft Punk score just does something to my brain. I swear it screams, "YES! YES! Let's freaking do this! Oh my god I'm HYPED UP! C'mon! Ahh!". When you hit that launch into the Grid, it's an awesome rush that you will only get with only one other Disney coaster. And then when you're flying through the Grid, I can't help my self to laugh, scream, and just have the best time. To some, TRON is short and overrated. To me, it's the best ride in Magic Kingdom Park.

I don't think people realize that the Racer is an airtime MACHINE. I rode it, and I was blown away! It runs incredibly well for a woodie built in '72, and I love all the different ejector pops. You have to also mention that Americana feel and awesome racing aspect. Between the short waits and long ride time, I always feel satisfied with a ride on the Racer (Blue).

IT'S THE WILDEST RIDE IN THE WILDERNESS!!! Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a world-class family coaster. How do I know that? Because it has a special place in my heart. I have actually written an essay about my very first experience, and I was so scared. Now, I'm not even fazed. I kinda wish it was MORE thrilling. But that's okay. This ride is perfect for families, because it was perfect for mine. It was my sisters favorite ride, and it's still one of mine. From the goat trick to the ride queue to the dynamite effects, it has so much character. I'm not too crazy about any of the turns or the drops or even the helix. I'm there for the good times and the happiness my 2nd ever coaster brought me when I was younger.

The Bat (Bat) or THE BAT is one of four Arrow Suspended Coasters left. And I have to say, I wish there were more of them out there. And they don't even give a insane ride experience! For this ride's sake, I do have to deduct points for the long walk in the queue and zero theming. But something about just flying through the trees really outside of park, swooping and diving like a bat gave me such a rush. I've never experienced anything like it, and I'm so happy I was able to experience before it hits the dust (eventually).

This might be one of the most underrated spinners in the world. Undertow is freakin' sick, dude! There is just so much fun to be had here! The unpredictable first drop (surprisingly flowy and even sometimes backwards?) is incredible, and you get great views, even better than Giant Dipper of the surrounding area. And when I mean surrounding area --- I mean the water, beach, boardwalk, mountains, parking lot, midway, rides and everything in between! But then you have the epic spinning factor as you glide through the chaotic and smooth layout, before hitting some great hills and laterals. NorCal has a great ride here, and it's Undertow.

People will call me crazy by putting Snoopy this high. But I really do think that this is the best family coaster model there is! Good airtime, charming theming, comfortable trains, and a surprisingly fun drop! I would want to lap this literally ALL DAY. This ride is just so great and it has all the pieces. Maybe if it was a little longer I would put it higher, but I do appreciate the backwards sections. IMO, the best family coaster outside of Disney/Universal.

This ride is just a total blast! I still get a little scared on the lift hill into the imposing mountain facade. The disco yeti, insane cost and history, and iconic broken track all add to the mystic of Everest. While you're watching or on it, you really think it's the tallest mountain in the world --- in Florida!! The drop on Everest is arguably Disney's best; and who doesn't love the awesome Nepalese theming? I am always awed by this beast (and even if I grey out on the indoor sections), I can't give this lower than a 9/10.

Space Mountain is a classic Disney coaster that is thrilling and not thrilling at the same time. How? Well it goes 28 miles per hour....but if feels like you're flying through space in the dark. This is the superior Space Mountain to the one in Orlando, but it's still very classic and has a great retro feel. The extreme darkness paired with a single-file ride vehicle makes it feeling like you're going to fly out. My dad and my sister don't put their hands up on this. I just yell.

Since this is kind of a rare credit (cuz it's in Phoenix) absolutely no one was riding it. And I was so happy. The first drop, head choppers, pretty decent laterals, intense yet smooth ride experience made this a very high-ranking ride when I first rode it. There are some dead spots, I will say, but nothing beats the view over the lit up park at night. It's not the craziest nor airtime-filled layout and it's certainly not a top 10 coaster. But I can kinda call it a hidden gem...

Seven Dwarfs mine train is a glorified kiddie coaster, and doesn't really feel thrilling, but it does give some memorable moments. The swinging cars are always fun and I like that there are multiple drops and twists. Plus, the queue is pretty neat and there's an indoor section (heigh ho, heigh ho). For a Disney coaster without a launch, I'm totally fine with it.

If I could describe 4/5 in a ride, Slinky Dog Dash would be it. This ride is neither bad nor great. I think that's because it leans TOO MUCH into the theming, so then it doesn't seem very cool or exciting. Mack launches are generally never punchy, and it's the same case for this one. There are some fun elements and a cuteness-factor, I will give it that, but like c'mon! Really? 90 minutes is an insane wait for a ride that could be rethemed, plopped into Six Flags, and get a 15 minute wait every time.

Rock On! Yeah! That's how I feel on the launch track. Even though I'm not really digging the aerosmith theme, the ride is still just super fun. Inversions (which are fine), Speed (which is good), and an electric atmosphere (which is amazing). I have some critiques on the layout and smoothness, but otherwise a pretty solid ride.

Alright, I hear you, Queen City. This ride (with it's long history) just screams COOL. Between the epic launch, insanely intense helix, and fun indoor bits: there's a ton to like. But some things bring it down, like the jerkiness, weak drops, and stop n' go layout. I still will ride it, but maybe not marathon it.

As much as I wan to say it's boring and slow, I really do have a liking for Patriot. The first drop is underrated and then everything else just feels like B&M *light*. Honestly, a couple more elements and I would probably put this high on my list! It's glass smooth, yet still very intense and re-rideable. What's not to love (and don't hate)?

I lowkey have a love-hate relationship with this thing. Sometimes, it's insane airtime and beautiful laterals. Othr times, it's just pounding my groin and terrorizing my back. You see where I'm coming from? I do enjoy the look, feel and sound of a classic woodie, but I don't get the hype for this GCI. Too rough for me to put it my top 3 CGA, so here it is at 3.5 stars.

Demon is a pretty awesomely themed ride, and has a cool looking set of corkscrews, but that's about it. Oh, and the night ride too. Anyway, I just think Demon is pretty good but not like a standout (because you have an RMC across the midway). If you like headbanging, go at it! But smoothness, drops, and whippy transitions? Nope.

I will give Adventure Express a good score for its theming and Arrow Mine Train charm alone. The ride experience, maybe not so much. I do like the laterals, but sometimes I think it's TOO MUCH. Feels like it's knock-off Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

Now we're talking! The big leagues! I wouldn't say that the 8th oldest coaster is anything mind-blowing, but there's plenty of airtime pops to have a good time. If only it was a tad bit smoother, though.

Woodstock Express (or Beastie) is a ride that serves its purpose extremely well. It gives pretty good airtime (considering it's a kiddie coaster) and great views. I would honestly take this ride over some Disney coasters!

Matterhorn Bobsleds has a place in my heart because it's one of my first REAL coasters, but it's not very astonishing. Yes, it was the first Disney coaster and the first of Arrow and the first of tubular steel track. But it's also hella janky, slow, and anticlimactic. What does the lift hill lead to? A non existent drop? A splashdown? What!?

Don't underestimate this one! If you ride in the back row, you'll experience some pretty fine hills and headchoppers --- but it's also Disney. A kiddie coaster. Which means 20 seconds, and no real thrills.
