We often discuss which coasters are the most incredible within their own theme parks… but what about the best coasters just in Orlando as a whole? Let’s get to it!
As more families look to more theme parks for their fun on a single Central Florida vacation, many want to know which coasters are the must-do attractions. Well don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
Here are my votes for the top ten coasters in Orlando, Florida:
-
Revenge of the Mummy at Universal Studios Florida
Revenge of the Mummy is a unique coaster that combines elements of a dark ride with a roller coaster. The ride includes several special effects, including fire, mummies, and scarab beetles. The coaster reaches a top speed of 45 miles per hour and includes a 50-foot drop. The combination of special effects and coaster elements make this ride a fan favorite.
-
Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind
It’s relatively brand-new and it’s a great addition to Epcot, even if perhaps the subject matter isn’t well-suited to the theme park’s overall vision. Cosmic Rewind does a number of things you’re unlikely to experience anywhere else in the world. Combined with a HUGE showbuilding that features a ton of track to traverse, we’re sure Cosmic Rewind is a must-do for any coaster fan!

Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is a unique coaster that allows riders to choose their own soundtrack for the ride. The coaster reaches a top speed of 65 miles per hour and includes a 167-foot drop.
