Journey to the center of the earth is forbidden journey CONFIRMED
@4-D Legend Colorado forbidden journey is at universal
@4-D Legend Colorado yes but that text was FOR forbidden journey, guess he didn't change the text
Is the walls actually stretching? Or is it your imagination?
How to find a way out?
Well there’s always my way.......
I am your host. Your GHOST. Host.
It is an Otis Elevator, So I guess they do stretch.
Some random Artist Shut up foolish mortal.
Best ride in the world!
@@roxynano ok M'lord
Here's my top 3:
1. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
2. Radiator Springs Racers
3. The Amazing Adventures of Spider-man
Nah, it’s 1. Winnie the Pooh (Tokyo) 2. Winnie the Pooh (Florida). 3. Winnie the Pooh (Anaheim)
Hqfirebolt 100% agree, that’s not option it’s facts
I want to ride rise of the risistance so bad
Dinosaur gets a lot of hate from the community because it’s always compared to Indy at Disneyland; but I love it, it’s a great fit for Animal Kingdom!
AMagicProduction for me, it just needs a good update. It feels too old and outdated. If they renovated it, I am sure it would find a place here.
Agreed, it's massively underrated.
It needs some serious work. Itching needs to be more interesting and they need to change the story and the pre-show. Also, the comparison to Indiana Jones is inevitable and it really can't compete with Indiana Jones (especially when it comes to the queue line.)
It IS great but I can't understand for the love of god why it's so insanely dark. To my eyes at least most of the time it's just black.
They’re not going to make it, they’re not going to make it....... YOU MADE IT!!!! I knew you would...
symbolica 12th: it hurts, ive ridden it about 10 times now
I've had the luck of riding Mystic Manor at Disneyland Hong Kong in 2016, which was my only trackless darkride before Symbolica. I had my expectations so high for Symbolica, that I left a bit dissapointed. Symbolica felt just a little too cringy for me. But it sure is an amazing darkride! just a bit cringy...
@@therealinfernape4720 How is it cringy? That's really not the right word there
@@therealinfernape4720 Cringy? What is cringy about Symbolica?
@@dutchshark1580 "Alle tovertwinkels" "wat, zijn er problemen? Gebruik je fantasie!!"
My toes curl when I think about lines like these from Pardoes.
@@therealinfernape4720 “Alle tovertwinkels” I understand, but what is wrong with those other lines
3:33 when you can't understand Dutch
Did you really just not include Mine of Lost Souls from Canobie Lake Park?
Liam Ryan never rode it!
Liam Ryan ikr unbelievable
Evan yowell HMRMPH!?!
Canobie Lake is one of my 2 home parks and I also never rode it
Just saying, Tokyo’s Indiana Jones Ride predates the crystal skull film by about 7 years
I know, but Taylor said the ride is based on Kingdom of the Crystal Skull when it wasn't
I also have a huge soft spot for Monster Mansion and 100% support its inclusion here
I wouldn't put it above Haunted Mansion but it is seriously underrated. One of the best rides in the park for sure.
Where would Justice League: Battle For Metropolis rank at? Top 20?
Username checks out
its such a good ride..........sfgadv is my home park
I absolutely LOVE a good dark ride. I put Monster Mansion as my third favorite ride at SFOG (and that's one spot ahead of Goliath.) I'm actually surprised you didn't mention DarKastle for personal reasons even though it's defunct.
Here's my ranking (never been on a dark ride in Europe and I haven't been to Asia. Also haven't gotten to Galaxy's Edge yet.) I'm including defunct rides so just remove those if you don't think they count.
1) Haunted Mansion (I mean, come on. It's still the best IMO.)
2) Forbidden Journey
3) Tower of Terror (I still count it)
4) The Great Movie Ride
5) Splash Mountain (it's mostly a dark ride)
6) Indiana Jones Adventure
7) Pirates of the Caribbean
8) Spaceship Earth
9) Maelstrom
10) Horizons
11) Radiator Springs Racers
12) Flight of Passage (I know youth split this list)
13) Soarin'
14) It's a Small World
15) Jungle Cruise
Yes, I've been to a lot of non-Disney parks as well but what can I say? I'm a fan.
I think horizons deserves a higher spot on the list
I would really be curious to see where Mystic Manor at Hong Kong Disneyland would go for you. It absolutely blew me away, and I loved the original story that went with it, which a big part of why it's my favorite Disney attraction in the entire chain.
-Gary
Coasting with Culture I remembered getting scared of that ride lol when I was 8
It was the same for me with the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland when I was about the same age.
Coasting with Culture Rise blows it out of the water.
@@alexanderjacob1008 Rise is an excellent ride, and I liked that it had all the detail and extra surprises in the queue. But there's something about Mystic that I just like better. Probably that the storyline is unique, and I think a little bit of it was that I had kind of built up Rise to be something more than it was for the actual ride portion. I did only ride it once though where as I was able to ride Mystic Manor multiple times, so I could catch more details with each ride. Maybe a few more rides on Rise in the future and I'll change my tune.
Again, it's an excellent ride, but personally I prefer Mystic Manor.
-Gary
RIP Tomb Raider: The Ride at (Paramounts) Kings Island.
That ride was so well done when it was working to it’s potential
Not really a dark ride though
@@emonadeo agreed, more of an indoor flat ride.
DisneySea's Indiana Jones isn't actually themed to Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I believe the ride opened in 2005 and the movie came out in 2008 - It was just a coincidence that the names were so similar.
Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull opened up in 2001 with Tokyo DisneySea. Yeah it opened long before the movie came out and the only thing they share is the name.
i have only been on 1 ride on this list, Radiator Springs Racers
Pirates of the Caribbean at Shanghai Disneyland is absolutely amazing and would have placed in the top 5. My jaw was dropped the entire time!
Also I agree that Rise of the Resistance should be #1, that experience is unbelievable!
You should make a top 15 family roller coasters list, that would be interesting
Rise of the Resistance puts the theme in theme park.
Spider-Man puts the amusement in amusement park.
I think Dinosaur at Animal Kingdom is very underrated. One of my personal favorites.
I rode Monster Mansion last year when I visited Six Flags Over Georgia for the first time. Man that thing is so weird and funny! Indiana Jones at Disneyland is one of my all time favorite rides. So well done!
OMG YAAAAAS MONSTER MANSION! "You're invited! To a picnic! Monster picnic where humans are allowed!"
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude The Monster Mansion at Six Flags over Georgia (formally known as The Monster Plantation ::controversial:: AND formally formally known as the Okefenokee Swamp Boat Ride) IS one of the best dark rides on the planet INDEED! This is a VERY special ride, literally to all that ride it because for one, it's absolutely the most random unexpected whack-a-doodle acid trip of a twisted Jim Henson back studio rejected made for TV movie that was cancelled due to COVID-19 experience you ever dreamed possible and couldn't possibly hate on it if you tried because OMG YOU'RE IN AIR CONDITIONED MONSTER MARSHY HEAVEN after spending hours of your day outside melting under that ATLANTA haute sun.
I recall the FIRST time I was introduced to the monsters living in that old haunted looking southern mansion. It was 1989 and I was 5 years old. Having survived my FIRST rollercoaster, the BRUTAL and AGGRESSIVE Dahlonega Mine Train (yes, those hard seats plus my 5 year old head smashing into it over and over and over resulted in tears BUT once I conquered it, I pushed down and pulled up those bars into a life of new found enthusiasm. NOW OFF TO THE MONSTER HOUSE WE GO I AM READY MOTHERRRRRRRR!
Or so I thought.
All was fine and dandy in the happy land of happy monsters, but no one said a THING about being THRUST into every 5 year olds worst monster nightmare ever come to life after taking a wrong turn into the MARSH THAT THE SHERRIF CLEARLY TELLS YOU TO "STAY OUT OF"!!!! WFT! I remember crying WORSE that the Mine Train and saying to my mom, "Mommyyyyyyy I wanna goooo homeeeeee" to which she happily replied,
"OK!" (my brothers and I were a handful back then)
Of course, once we escaped safely out the anus of the monster that eats you at the end, I was LIVINGGGGGGGGG for that ride! And to this DAY, it's a literal MANDATORY REQUIREMENT to ride it every time you go to the park. I mean the Kissing Booth monster?! THAT HOE IS THE BIGGEST HOOCHIE ON THE PLANET and I make the same smooching sounds as her when I get to kissing anyone LOL
Does my story get better?! YES IT DOES. As an enthusiast, I actually worked at Six Flags over Georgia for the 2003 season while I was starting my second year in college BECAUSE Dejavu had just opened and being one of it's FIRST riders, I WAS OBSESSED and went there to work at DEJAVU only, quickly became operator because I wanted to ride it as much as possible, and I wanted the ride operations to be the BEST as possible because I believed everyone in the world needed to ride it, and in 2003, I operated DeJavu the HOUSE DOWN and more people rode it that year than any other and everyone who remembers the year it functioned it's best, I was the one making sure every seat on that train was filled every time. I KNOW I hold the record for most rides on DeJavu at SFoG in the world, that thing was my baby. To this day, my #1 fav coaster in the world (i've only stayed within US) is X (now X2) @ SFMM and #2 is DejaVu at SFoG and I've been on a lot, but to this day, NOTHING has been more terrifying than jumping in the front seat for morning test runs and it gettin stuck in the first lift so you're literally hanging by the restraints facing the ground TERRIFIED FOR YOUR LIFE and without any warning or way of knowing when, it releases the train and for a split second you have a moment where you literally think you've fallen out of the train. YOU CANNOT REPLICATE THIS LEVEL OF THRILL! Simply the best. Being so unpredictable of a ride made it that much more exciting because as I used to say in the mic to the people waiting in line "DeJaVu: ONE time forward! SOMETIMES backwards!" to get all the nervous laughs out of everyone. UGH RIP HASNT BEEN ANOTHER LIKE IT SINCE IT WAS SIMPLY AHEAD OF ITS TIME
Oh and of course that season I worked, I PRAYED that I'd get a chance to work The Monster Mansion at least once so I could finally see for myself if all the rumors were true about the legendary COVETED CLOSED OFF TO THE PUBLIC, NEVER BEEN SEEN spot INSIDE the front doors of the mansion that allegedly housed every secret and rumor ever made about that ride AND POSSIBLY GIVES YOU THE POWER TO TAKE OVER THE VOICES OF THE MONSTERS AND MORE!!! YES the DAY DID COME FOR ME and I got to spend an entire day working inside the 2 front doors of the mansion and it was MORE THAN BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE DREAMED.
But....I am not allowed to share details/facts or else the monsters WILL eat all of my family members at a picnic. A monster picnic. Sorry.
Sixflags over Georgia is my home park and Monster Mansion will change your life😅 Definently a weird darkride
I thought skull island was really boring except for the Que
Why would you show justice leagues battle for metropolis without. Putting it on the list😭
Because it's hot garbage
Andrew Putnam I know but what’s the point of putting it in the intro
@@joelbodon6893 because it's dark ride footage
R.I.P Curse of DarKastle. If it was still here, it would definitely make the list!
15: I haven't rode this, but it looks fun.
14: Haven't rode this, but I really want to.
13: I have been on this, and while I prefer Spider-Man, this is a fun ride for when you just want to cool off.
12: Haven't rode this. I want to, but I doubt I will be riding this anytime soon.
11: Haven't rode this, but it looks like a fun ride.
10: Haven't rode this. The Kong animatronic looks awesome, but I'm unsure about how I'd feel about how it mostly relies upon the screen tunnel..
9: Yo ho yo ho, a pirate's life for me! One of the best in the world ever since it opened so long ago.
8: You gotta love the 999 happy haunts.
7: Haven't rode this, but I have been on Dinosaur.
6: I mostly know of this thanks to Defunctland. I'd recommend looking at the video on their channel focusing on "Tales of the Okefenokee," it's quite interesting.
5: I do want to get on this.
4: Spider Man is a pure classic. I wonder how Disney's take on a Spider-Man ride will compare, but I doubt it will outright destroy the original.
3: Your listing is broken. That being said, I want to get on this someday.
2. I have been on this, and it's probably one of my favorite dark rides.
1. Have not been on this, but I really want to at some point. Problem is that the crowds refuse to die down, and Disney is already expensive (seriously. I could go to Busch Gardens for a day and do everything there twice before I could get on all the highlight rides at Disney, and at nearly half the price)
I feel like you could make a dark ride that’s a trillion dollars and it wouldn’t be nearly as good as Pirates of the Caribbean or Haunted Mansion
10:07
Awkward silence
Yes, Finally a ride at my home park makes it onto a Top 10 list, I mean top 15. I am talking about Six Flags Over Georgia btw.
Monster Mansion is wonderfully weird and awesome.
Radiator springs racers has some good airtime on the hills near the end of it
11 comes up after Symbolica and I'm out. Are you for real??
Where is temple of the nighthawk?😂😂😂
Can’t believe Exit Sign: the Ride didn’t make it
I thought about putting it in as a joke lol
Number 11 looks like it came right out of a Dr. Seuss book
I wanted to see Calico mine ride here:(
that horn on monster mansion man, most annoying thing
My top 3:
1- Rise of the Resistance
2- Amazing Adventures of Spiderman
3- Dinosaur
In my opinion, Dinosaur is an underrated dark ride, is so much fun!
Transformers ride is pure garbage...
Is there a reason you didn't include Escape from Gringots? Do you consider that a coaster as opposed to a dark ride?
TheRealSweedie Yes, exactly.
@@CoasterStudios gotcha!
I don’t know why but I’ve always had a soft spot for The Cat In the Hat ride in IOS. I don’t know why but it just grew on me
Note: I haven't ridden many of the rides on your list, but for me:
1) Pirates Of The Caribbean (Disneyland Paris specifically)
2) Hex (Alton Towers)
3) Wallace and Gromit Thrill O Matic (Blackpool Pleasure Beach)
4) Test Track (Epcot)
5) Toy Story Midway Mania (Hollywood Studios)
6) Duel (Alton Towers)
7) Dinosaur (Animal Kingdom)
8) Phantom Manor/Haunted Mansion (Disneyland Paris/Magic Kingdom)
9) Remi's Ratatouille Adventure (Disneyland Paris)
10) The Haunting (Drayton Manor)
7:22 Are you serious? This dark ride and no i corsari 😱.... good video and sorry for my english
I'm glad Monster Mansion made the list!
I didn’t get to ride Journey to the center of the earth because it was closed when I went there.
That’s so sad :(
garfield’s nightmare
Thankfully they are redoing it as the Old Mill for 2020. Bye bye Garfield!
Who else saw Monster Mansion coming? I did
Super underrated.
1. The shed on mystic timbers...
Surprised Test Track didn't make the cut. More surprised you didn't notice the glaring differences between the Pirates of the Caribbeans
So incredibly happy to see Monster Mansion on this list. Did not see that coming 😂
wait wait wait does the mummy at universal studios not count? i really thought it would be here...
it does not, that is a roller coaster
Coaster Studios ah i see. makes sense
fast and furious super charge #1 don’t @ me
I LOVE the Haunted Mansion Disney parks! I’m also huge fan of Test Track. Epcot has always been my favorite Disney park, so I may be biased, but I love it! This list is great!
Rise of the resistance would be better if it was themed to the prequels...
😂🤣😂
The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man is probably my favorite theme park attraction of all time, save for a few roller coasters. It's an absolute masterpiece. Rise and especially Forbidden Journey don't even come close to it for me. Indiana Jones does, though.
Be honest! Nr.1 is Boo Blasters!
Do a top 15 drop towers!
Symbolica should indeed be higher up in your list! The Efteling created this darkride with a budget of only 42 million euro's, while Disneyland Paris spent more than 200 million dollars on Ratatouille! (Which doesn't have solar cells on the roof?) And what about Fata Morgana and Droomvlucht?? Didn't you enjoy those?
My wife says: Thumbs up for Monster Mansion
Thumbs down for not including Sindbad's Storybook Voyage
Once you've been to China this list will undoubtedly change with Pirates and Mystic Manor (even some non-Disney parks like the Fantawild parks crap all over almost anything darkride wise stateside).
good, lots of Disney dark rides. Disney is by far THE BEST Dark ride creators. try and change my mind. also Haunted Mansion and Pirates NEED to be higher. Walt Disney had an influence and helped design both.
Those poor shooting dark rides.
I definitely would have Men In Black as top 5 and top 15 definitely justice league battle for metropolis, specifically the magic mountain version for including an extra touch (won't spoil for those that don't know). Also may sound silly but I actually really liked the scooby doo one at king's dominion when it was my home park and I still miss it.
Also Curse Of Darkcastle would be my literal #1 here period IF it had been properly cleaned, renovated, and re-opened. If it was still open it'd still be top 5 easily.
Forbidden Journey is a worthless ride with a good queue. Transformers is just complete garbage all the way through.
I’ve never been on Spider-Man, but the people who love it seem to be into those other two rides, so I’m pretty sure I’d hate it.
Sorry but Skull Island is a bad dark ride. It starts off great then its just you watching screens untill you get to a decent animatronic Kong. The old Kongfrontation was a much better ride as you really felt in peril. Same goes for Earthquake which was miles better than Fast and Furios which I might add is the worst ever ride at Universal Orlando.
Thanks for the spoiler warning about RotR. Maybe it's foolish to try to avoid spoilers for an amusement park ride, and one that I have no idea when I'll be able to ride, but I am, so I really appreciate that you did that. Classy.
I’ve only been to universal studios Hollywood even though I live in the American south
I'd love to see a list of classic haunted dark rides. Without Disney and Universal entries too. I'm talking old school stuff.
I could never get on with Transformers - it really feels like you are moving from ‘screen to screen’ each having some ‘generic action’ - Spider-Man feels like much more of an adventure and the ‘illusion’ aspect is far better.
I can’t believe you didn’t include dinosaur from Disney World or figments journey into imagination also from Disney World. Also I would’ve put in test track instead of radiator Springs.
Went to Disney CA a few years ago. Rise broke down as soon as we got in the cars. I was around 58 at the time and am a large Black guy. I was so messed up, a Japanese kid from the other side of the room let go of his fathers hand and came and took mine.
Coronavirus cancelled my school trip to Disneyland and then the week we were supposed to be there I had this dream where I rode Rise of the Resistance and it wasn't as good as everybody said it was, honestly I think that was my subconscious's way of coping with not being able to ride :(
Unpopular opinion, but I dislike spiderman. I thought the visuals were outdated, and a lot of the audio just straight up didn't work. I skip it when I go to universal.
What about geisterschloss at Europa park? I remember you saying you preferred it over haunted mansion
No Revenge of the Mummy? That is one intense indoor dark ride!
I think he wasn't counting coasters with dark ride elements as dark rides per se.
First and foremost, that is a roller coaster. Yes it features dark ride sections, but it would be unfair in my opinion to include it in this video.
I corsari?
Im really confused how Radiator Springs is considered a dark ride...?? Idc if that's what some fancy amusement park ride spreadsheet has it listed as, I disagree that it is a dark ride, personally. It's outdoors, on a track, with decent speeds... to me it's more of a flat coaster.
Great list!
taylor, this is great and all but i think you forgot about fast and furious supercharged
Meow Wolf was supposed to be opening a huge interactive walk through attraction in Vegas. It was scheduled to open about now, but obviously it's delayed. When it does open I think its going to be beyond cool! Great video, and stay safe everyone!
insymbolica you get to visit/ audience the palace that sais o.j.puntuel but pardoes takes you on a tour around the whole castle so it is logic that it feels like that you are guided]
The Disneysea version of Indiana Jones actually isn't based on the Crystal Skull movie, they just have very similar names
Radiator springs racers 9 spots under a random six flags haunted house??? Ok...
What about mystic timbers
thats a roller coaster
No one ever talks about Pinocchio. I don’t know why but I just love it more than I should.
I really wish Disney would do some original trioligy Star Wars things instead of just their Star Wars.
I’m not a Disney fanatic but pirates of the Caribbean and Disney world is a lot shorter of a ride and only has 1 drops while at Disney land it has two
I was not expecting a dark ride from my home park, Six Flags over Georgia, to be on here XD
Where is test track? Test track is my favorite dark ride at WDW if you don't count tower of terror I actually prefer it to radiator springs racers
Hershey Chocolate World... They even feed you! That shoulda made it an easy top 10! lol
Can we get an f in the chat as a remembrance of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea at Walt Disney World
dang monster mansion? SFOG is my home park, but idk about it being above haunted mansion
Or Mr. Toad's Wild Ride? Just the end of this one makes it a top 10.
That Meow Wolf Ride reminds me of robotripping...
You should List Top 10 Shooting Dark Rides as another list.
Some dark rides are so strange nothing makes sense😂, but they’re great
I agree with everything and every spot on the list. Superb video my friend!
I just want to put this idea out their but it would be cool to see you rank every roller coaster you have rode. I know this would be a lot of work but it would be cool.
Monster mansion lmao?? No way buddy it’s that high
Kind of surprised that Hex at Alton towers didn’t make the list
Universal Orlandos Revenge of The Mummy better be on here or im rioting
