Walt Disney World Rankings and More!

I enjoy Big Thunder Mountain Railroad more now than I did as a kid.

Like many Disney fans, I love putting my feelings together into ranked lists. It’s fun to put our cards on the table and say why we love (or hate) current and past attractions. That pastime isn’t just for Disney either. I’m down with ranking the rides and shows at any park! This is definitely true for roller coasters, where many of us have serious feelings about their favorites. This page serves as the hub for all my rankings posts from more than 10 years at the Tomorrow Society. There’s a lot to cover, and I keep putting together new lists after every trip.

Current Walt Disney World Rankings

It’s hard for me to keep up with all the changes happening at Walt Disney World! My coaster rankings are still updated, but I’ve fallen behind at the parks. I created these rankings in mid-2024, but they need a refresh after my next park visit. I can’t wait to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the latest version of Test Track, and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets. In the meantime, these rankings give my thoughts on all the attractions that I’ve experienced at each of the four Walt Disney World parks.

Other Roller Coaster Rankings

I’ve tried to really expand my horizons beyond Walt Disney World and check out regional parks especially in recent years. There are so many cool parks out there including Dollywood, Cedar Point, and Silver Dollar City. Plus, you can’t go wrong with other massive resorts like Disneyland and Universal Orlando! I still have a lot more to cover, but I’ve created rankings for places where I’ve ridden all the coasters. I still need to visit Epic Universe and other massive coaster parks like Magic Mountain and Canada’s Wonderland. Even so, I’ve ridden a lot of awesome coasters!

All-Time Walt Disney World Rankings

One of my favorite projects in this site’s early years was ranking all the attractions that have ever been part of a land in any era. With places like Fantasyland or Future World at EPCOT, that’s a lot of rides and shows! I want to go back and update these lists with the latest attractions. Some of these lands have changed so much in the past 5-10 years. It’s fun to try and compare past greats like Horizons with modern thrill rides like Cosmic Rewind. How would they match up for you?

Future World All-Time Attractions (2015)
Tomorrowland All-Time Attractions (2016)
EPCOT Center’s Future World Pavilions (2020)
Fantasyland All-Time Attractions (2020)
World Showcase All-Time Attractions (2022)

Living with the Land deserves the top ranking in EPCOT.

Other Rankings

This section includes a few other lists that don’t really fit within the other categories. I still need to update the water rides at Walt Disney World to include Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and remove a few extinct attractions. My Great Movie Ride project was a fun way to catch up with a few classics that I’d missed. Footlight Parade was a cool surprise, while Tarzan the Ape Man was less thrilling. I also enjoyed going through the show scenes from that highly ambitious Disney/MGM Studios attraction. I plan to add more unique rankings here in the future!
