Which Disney ride has the biggest drop?

Expedition Everest – Disney's Animal Kingdom It's largest drop is the tallest at Walt Disney World, coming in at 80' tall. Despite these elements, Expedition Everest still has a height restriction of under 4' tall, with a minimum rider height of 44?.



As of early 2026, the Disney ride with the largest vertical drop remains Summit Plummet at Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park, featuring a staggering 120-foot (36.6-meter) near-vertical plunge that sends riders at speeds up to 60 mph. In terms of traditional "dry" theme park attractions, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney's Hollywood Studios holds the title for the biggest drop experience, as its elevator carriage plunges approximately 130 feet (40 meters) multiple times in a randomized sequence. If you are looking for a traditional roller coaster drop, Expedition Everest at Disney's Animal Kingdom features a 80-foot drop, while the newer TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom relies more on high-speed launches than massive vertical drops. While Disney is opening several new attractions in 2026, such as the Frozen-themed land in Paris, they are generally family-focused and do not exceed these established height records for thrill-seekers.
