It’s National Roller Coaster Day (yes, that’s a thing)! In honor of this most auspicious day, we want to know what the best Disney coaster is. There are a lot of Disney parks and a lot of unique Disney coasters. There are also several coasters that share a name but are actually quite different (Space Mountain I’m looking at you), and some that are identical (RC Racer for example).  To simplify, rides that are essentially identical are listed together, but rides that are different are listed separately. You probably haven’t ridden all of these coasters, but use your deductive reasoning to pick the ones which are the most amazing to you (theme, queue, ride experience, level of detail, etc). And please let us know why you picked the choices you did.

Since we first published this article in 2016, a lot has changed. So we’ve updated and republished this poll. Gone are Animal Kingdom’s Primeval Whirl and Disney Studios Paris’ Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. Disney’s Hollywood Studios has added the Slinky Dog Dash. And a couple of new coasters are on the way . . . but we’ll save those for a future update.  

We’ll use the following park key to let you know where the coasters are located: 

  • DL – Disneyland
  • DCA – Disney California Adventure
  • MK – Magic Kingdom
  • AK – Animal Kingdom
  • DHS – Disney’s Hollywood Studios
  • HKDL – Hong Kong Disneyland
  • DLP – Disneyland Paris
  • WDSP – Walt Disney Studios Park (Paris)
  • TDL – Tokyo Disneyland
  • TDS – Tokyo Disney Sea
  • SDL – Shanghai Disneyland

So . . . what’s the best Disney coaster? (chose up to three favorites):
