The Top Animal Kingdom Rides
Today, I am starting a short blog series, to tell you about my favorite Walt Disney World rides and attractions. Let's start at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Flight of Passage is my number one. This ride is a 3-D flying simulator located in Pandora— The World of Avatar. This ride allows guests to take flight on a banshee and soar across Pandora. I love that you can feel the wind blowing in your hair, and when it changes to night in Pandora, it is my favorite part of the ride. Have you ridden this ride? Is it one of your favorites?
Expedition Everest is number two at Animal Kingdom for me. This ride is a steel roller coaster themed around the Yeti protecting the Forbidden Mountain. The max speed is 50 mph. My favorite part is when you think the track is broken and you go speeding backwards. Have you braved Expedition Everest?
My number three is Kilimanjaro Safaris. This ride is an 18-minute open-air safari tour in Harambe Wildlife Reserve. You never know what animals you will see. The most common are zebras, lions, hippos, giraffes, elephants, and rhinos. My favorite time on this ride was a nighttime ride. The lions were roaring because a zebra came close to their area. It was very exciting. Do you enjoy this ride as much as I do?
Well, how do my top three rides at Animal Kingdom, compare to your own favorites?
As much as I love Everest and FoP, Kilimanjaro Safari is the winner at AK for me every time! I try and ride it twice every day I go to the park, once in the morning and once later in the day as you see something different every time! I absolutely love it!
I didn't even thing of Kilimanjaro Safari as a ride! For me, that's an amazing park experience since it feels like so much more than just a ride. Since I forgot about the Safari, my list would have been Flight of Passage, DINOSAUR, Expedition Everest. Had I thought about the Safari, that would have been my #1. Great blog on your favorite rides!
Kilimanjaro Safaris is my absolute favourite experience at WDW - every time you board that jeep you are in for a different excursion into the African savannah.
I love Everest, it is even better at night
I agree that these are the top three attractions at Animal Kingdom, although I have them in a slightly different order. Kilimanjaro Safari is my number one at Animal Kingdom.
