Where better to get your adrenalin rush than the theme park capital of the world - Orlando!
Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando Resort aren't just about bringing the little ones dreams to life, there's plenty to enjoy for the older ones too. And it doesn't stop at these two parks - so from roller coasters to water coasters and everything in between, here's your guide to the biggest and best rides that Orlando has to offer.
It's become a Hollywood Studios icon, but it doesn't make it any less scary! Hurtle up and down aboard a haunted elevator that reaches 13 stories high. You may know what's coming, but the wait as you look over the park at the top is nerve-wracking.
Immerse yourself into the rockstyle lifestyle as you hurtle along the LA freeways to the sounds of Aerosmith. There's nothing small about this ride as you swoop into two rollover loops and one corkscrew, the wind will be racing against your face!
One of the tallest, fastest freefall body slides about - this one will get your adrenaline pumping. Plunge 12 stories almost straight down, so steep that you can't see where you're heading... until you get there. Be sure not to miss this high speed descent.
After a steep ascent, your train picks up speed and races into the darkness, and when you reach a broken track in front of you there's only one way out - backwards! There's plenty of twists and turns in the darkness in this one to keep the hairs raised throughout!
Board your own mountain banshee for a breathtaking 3D flight over Pandora's landscape, and test yourself like a Na’vi! Swooping through the trees and narrowly avoiding obstacles, an amazing aerial adventure awaits.
Launching up to 67 miles per hour, a Hulk-like power propels you upside down into a zero-gravity roll, racing faster and faster. Hang on as this high-speed, red-line rampage smashes its way through the sky.
Thrills and spills can be enjoyed in the water too, and this is a great one to enjoy as a group. Four-person canoes slide upward through the mists and into the dark twists and turns within the volcano before emerging with a plunge through a shimmering waterfall.
Florida's fastest and tallest launch coaster, this is one of the most thrilling rides you'll come across on your trip. Embark on a high-speed chase and feel the rush of the hunt, as you race alongside a pack of velociraptors - it's an extreme adventure!
Plunging into the paths of magical, mythical creatures, join Hagrid™ as you fly deep into the wilds of the Forbidden Forest, beyond the grounds of Hogwarts™ castle. With launches of up to 50 miles per hour, and a free fall vertical drop, this one isn't for the faint-hearted.
A towering coaster with a musical twist, and topping out at 65 mph, this rip-roaring ride is a blast from beginning to end. A whopping 17 stories high, this is one of the tallest rides in Orlando, and what goes up must come down!
They might not meet the height requirements for the biggest rollercoasters, but there's plenty of thrills available for the little ones to enjoy too...
