Disney World: The 10 Best Magic Kingdom Attractions, Ranked

The Magic Kingdom, located in Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, is home to an enchanting selection of rides, shows, and experiences. While each attraction brings its own charm, we decided to sort through them all to see which are better than the rest. While we won't be using any official scale to rank the attractions located at the Magic Kingdom, we will be paying attention to factors including nostalgia, thrill, and overall quality.

Get ready to head to the most magical place on earth; Here are how the top Magic Kingdom attractions stack up.

10 Jungle Cruise

This riverboat ride takes guests on a cruise down the rivers of Asia, Africa, and South America. Disney assigns a tour guide to each journey, who explains to guests what they're seeing and adds in a handful of cheesy jokes.

Though the Adventureland attraction is based on a script, it is largely improvised, meaning you'll get a varied experience based on your navigator. Nevertheless, you'll run into animatronic animals, lush scenery, and waterfalls every single time.

9 The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh

This popular dark ride sends guests on a trip through the Hundred Acre Woods. Visitors first board their honeypot ride vehicles and are then sent through a series of scenes based on Pooh's adventures. Riders can expect to bounce alongside Tigger, blow through a blustery day, navigate through Pooh's Heffalump-filled dream, and finish things out by floating around the forest.

The various special effects in combination with the overall charm of the ride has cemented it as a classic.

8 Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

This steel roller coaster takes guests on a journey that could have come straight out of Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

After getting inside the specially designed rocking minecart trains, riders are sent through a series of hills. The vehicle eventually slows down and takes guests through a dark ride portion filled with beautifully stylized dwarf animatronics and shiny gemstones. Riders are then shot up a final hill, where they cruise toward the finish where Snow White is waiting. The ride's special effects and technology are impressive, since it came later in the Magic Kingdom's history, around the mid-2010s. Unfortunately, this means the lines are also ridiculously long. It's definitely worth the wait.

7 Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin

This shooting dark ride sends guests on a mission to defeat the Evil Emperor Zurg alongside Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear. Each vehicle contains a set of two laser blasters that guests can use to aim at the targets inside each room. The slow-moving karts also contain sticks in the middle that riders can use to rotate toward the "Z's."

The neon interior, flashy lights, and interactivity of this one make it one of the most fun attractions in Tomorrowland.

6 Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

This rollercoaster sends guests on the back of a runaway mine train through the wild west. The attraction features big drops, sweeping curves, and speeds of up to 35 mph. With the rocky scenery coming straight from that of the real-life Bryce Canyon, you're guaranteed some great views as you go.

Though the outdoor portions are gorgeous, the ride also includes a handful of indoor sections including a rush through a dark cavern at the beginning. This variation adds a lot of interest to the journey.

5 Peter Pan's Flight

This rail-suspended dark ride takes guests on a flight out of London and into the magical world of Neverland. Guests' vehicles are pirate ships that hang down from the ceiling, which gives the illusion that they're actually flying. With tons of beautiful scenes below, featuring mermaids, pirates, and Indians, you'll feel as if you've been transported to another world.

Of course, no Peter Pan ride would be complete without the titular character making an appearance. The boy who never grew up as well as the Darling children can be seen sailing away on Captain Hook's 48-foot long pirate ship near the end.

4 Haunted Mansion

There are 999 happy haunts here, but there's always room for one more.

This attraction has guests embarking on a tour through a spirit-filled mansion via doom buggy vehicles. Though the attraction is slow-moving, it's filled with scary special effects and high-tech audio-animatronics. Guests can catch ghosts dancing in the Grand Hall, a bride bearing a hatchet in the Attic, and HitchHiking ghosts in the Hall of Mirrors. The ride perfectly blends the spooky and the silly, making it a favorite of many guests.

3 Space Mountain

If you've ever wanted to embark on a futuristic '70s-style mission through space, now is your chance.

Space Mountain takes guests on a high-speed journey through the stars. While the majority of the coaster is in the dark, guests can spot planets as they rush around. Additionally, the single-file vehicles pass through energizing tunnels at the beginning of the ride and near the end. With a buzzy soundtrack, quick turns, and 3.7 G's, the thrill level of this one is on the high-end.

2 Pirates Of The Caribbean

This boat dark ride, which was the inspiration for an entire swashbuckling franchise, takes guests on a brisk journey through a seaside Caribbean town.

The scenes are filled with audio-animatronic pirates, townspeople, ships, fires, treasures, and other objects of interest. The track itself, while primarily slow-paced, features one steep drop into the dark. All the nostalgia, as well as the adventurous sights, has this one ranking near the top.

1 Splash Mountain

Topping off the list is this log flume ride, which takes guests on a journey through the story of Breyer Rabit from Song of the South. After piling into a boat, guests are sent through indoor and outdoor ride portions filled with cheery animatronics, sing-a-long songs, and small drops. However, the biggest thrill comes toward the finale, where guests are sent plummeting down a steep 50-ft. drop toward the briar patch.

Combining the charm of a dark ride with the excitement of a thrill ride, Splash Mountain is by far one of the greatest attractions in not only the Magic Kingdom but in all of Disney World.
