What rides at Disney World have big drops?

Expedition Everest – Disney's Animal Kingdom This coaster has a little of everything: a top speed of 50 mph, darkness, reverse track through the darkness, as well as a giant yeti guarding the inside of the mountain. It's largest drop is the tallest at Walt Disney World, coming in at 80' tall.



Several attractions across Walt Disney World are famous for their significant drops. At the Magic Kingdom, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure (formerly Splash Mountain) features a 50-foot plunge into the bayou, while Space Mountain and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train offer smaller but thrilling sudden descents. Over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Expedition Everest is renowned for its massive 80-foot drop and high-speed backward maneuvers. In Disney’s Hollywood Studios, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror provides the most unique "drop" experience, as it utilizes a randomized elevator-plunge system that can drop guests roughly 130 feet multiple times in a single ride. Additionally, for fans of water-based thrills, Summit Plummet at Blizzard Beach is one of the world's tallest and fastest free-fall body slides, featuring a 120-foot drop that sends riders down at speeds reaching 55 mph.
