Disneyland Roller Coaster Rides

Disneyland roller coasters are not like your typical coaster ride. Each roller coaster in Disneyland has a theme associated with it. Let's start with the Matterhorn Bobsleds. This roller coaster ride encompasses the Swiss Alps, but with a twist. Watch out for the Abominable Snowman! This dual track coaster is for guests 35”and above. It is also the first roller coaster type ride built in Disneyland.
Younger guests can get a thrill on Gadget’s Go Coaster located in Mickey's Toontown. As with the Matterhorn Bobsleds, there is a 35 inch height requirement. A fun family ride is Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. This is known as “the wildest ride in the wilderness,” and can be enjoyed for anyone 40 inches or above. It's even more fun at night when it's dark.
The most intense coaster in Disneyland would be Space Mountain. This roller coaster is housed indoors and is a coaster in the dark. A great musical soundtrack accompanies the ride as guests blast through outer space. Riders need to be a minimum of 40 inches. A photograph is taken during the last part of the ride which can be viewed and optionally purchased when exiting the ride.
Although people have to wait in line for the Matterhorn Bobsleds and Gadget’s Go Coaster, Fast Passes are available for Big Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain. If visiting Disneyland, be sure to check out one of the parks themed roller coaster rides. They are unlike other amusement park’s rides as each has its own theme.

  1. Thunder mountain is my all time favorite. Space Mountain is up there to, but it's not something I can ride over and over again. Kids love it.
