Disney World has tons of different coasters throughout its parks.
Some of these coasters are traditional coasters like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Expedition Everest, some are dark rides like Space Mountain, and others are unlike anything we’ve ever seen, like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.

I was not surprised. It is not ranked high against other Disney attractions. Additionally, people complain it is too short. Rockin Roller Coaster (ranked #1 at Studios) is probably longer.

in fairness, I’ve been on Wildcat’s Revenge (#2 coaster), and it is the smoothest coaster I’ve ever been on, and has a perfect blend of intensity and excitement.

I live in central PA and am a pass holder for Hersheypark. Wildcat’s Revenge is amazing! So proud it ranked #2!
Sharla says
Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind is sooo much better than Tron. I’m surprised it didn’t make the list.
Dottyanna says
No surprise. It is my 20th favorite ride at Disney World. Getting a VQ at 7 am, still waiting in long queue to ride, lockers before and after, for a one minute uncomfortable roller coaster ride. No thanks….I will take Guardians, Flight of Passage, Rise of Resistance, Seven Dwarfs, Rock n Roller Coaster, etc. any day over Tron.
