thrilling experiences disneyland has no shortage of high-speed thrills for the entire family you can take a bobsled ride through the swiss alps while you race to the finish line in the cadillac mountain range scream till you drop in the collector's fortress then cool off with a splash on a zippity doo daddy there's something for everyone at both of the disneyland theme parks and the thrilling adventures are just waiting for you most of these rides are extremely popular so grabbing a fastpass when they're available isn't a bad idea so in order of speed today we'll be counting down the top 10 fastest rides and attractions at disneyland number 10 gadgets go coaster we're starting this list off with one of the tamer thrills located in mickey's toontown at the disneyland park gadgets go coaster opened on january 24th 1993 and is of a coma junior coaster with a fairly short track layout the ride only clocks in at 44 seconds but it's still an enjoyable ride if the wait isn't too long although it's the shortest ride at disneyland it still reaches a top speed of 21.7 miles per hour it's not the fastest coaster by any means but you do get a nice overhead view of toontown when you ascend up the lift hill and the coaster does go through many fun winding turns for a junior coaster it's highly themed and surprisingly a lot of fun making it a great mild thrill to get you warmed up for other attractions at the parks number 9 the matterhorn bobsleds you can't help but notice the 147-foot matterhorn mountain peaking above disneyland's skyline the matterhorn opened on june 14th 1959 and sits between fantasyland and tomorrowland it was actually the first tubular steel roller coaster to ever be built but technically it's two separate coasters since it has two non-identical tracks the coaster has an average speed of 18 miles per hour but can top speeds of up to 25 to 27 miles per hour depending on which side of the track you're on and the amount of weight in the bobsleds now each track offers a similar experience where you head up the lift hill then twist and turn through the swiss alps trying to avoid the abominable snowman the tomorrowland side can be considered the rougher and faster track with a ride time of about 2 minutes and 10 seconds it includes sharper turns more drops and will give you that extreme whooping feeling when you ride the fantasyland side however comes in with a ride time of about 2 minutes and 25 seconds and is a tamer experience since it has more straight sections the end of both tracks features the famous splashdown which actually acts as a braking system for the ride and although this isn't a water ride be prepared to possibly get wet the matterhorn offers a single rider line and even though it's an overall bumpy ride on both tracks it wouldn't be a day at disneyland without going on the matterhorn bobsleds number 8 goofy sky school now it's time to head off into disney california adventure to find goofy sky school located in paradise park this coaster originally opened on february 8 2001 as mulholland madness it was later changed to goofy sky school in 2011 but since the coaster is partially enclosed and tucked away into this corner of the park it's pretty easy to miss it goofy sky school is your typical off-the-shelf wild mouse roller coaster that can be found in many local amusement parks around the world after you board your plane you're ready to navigate the sky through many sharp turns as you pass cutouts of goofy while getting a great view of pixar pier then be prepared for many sudden dips and drops as you reach a top speed of 27 miles per hour the entire ride lasts one minute and 45 seconds and for what it's worth it's a pretty enjoyable coaster that isn't too intense and just also happens to have a single rider line number seven the disneyland monorail tomorrowland is our next station stop the disneyland monorail system opened on june 14th 1959 and was the very first daily operating monorail system in the western hemisphere unlike walt disney world's monorail that acts as a transportation system disneyland is an actual attraction today the monorail fleet consists of three mark vii trains red blue and orange a new train departs every 5 minutes as it travels in a continuous loop between the two stations in tomorrowland and downtown disney now the monorail track sprawls 2.5 miles across the resort and although this isn't a thrill ride it still reaches a top speed of 30 miles per hour but honestly it doesn't feel that fast at all with a ride time of about 10 minutes it's a perfect way to take in some relaxing high speeds while taking a break from the hustle and bustle of the park [Music] number six space mountain staying in tomorrowland we'll blast off to find the only enclosed coaster at the resort space mountain opened on may 27 1977 and was the second roller coaster to be built at disneyland now this version of the ride is a much smaller version than its counterpart in florida but although it's small it's mighty what makes this version of space mountain stand out is the onboard audio soundtrack in the rockets and the fact that the entire coaster received a brand new track in 2005. once you're seated in your rocket ship you're in for a pretty smooth ride you'll leave the loading platform then head up a series of lift hills and lighted tunnels aside from the end of the ride these are going to be the only sections of the ride where there's light then the rest takes place in complete darkness with many shooting stars in the forecast it's an exhilarating 2 minutes and 30 seconds of unexpected twists and turns through the dark this ride really gets your adrenaline pumping since you never know which direction you'll be moving in next hands down space mountain is the ultimate thrill through the dark so you're definitely not going to want to miss this one oh and they recently introduced the single rider line which can also help cut down on that wait time number five big thunder mountain railroad frontierland is home to another iconic mountain here you'll find the foot view set to resemble the bryce canyon in utah and is home to big thunder mountain railroad the attraction opened on september 2nd 1979 replacing the mine train through nature's wonderland ride now big thunder mountain in california is a mirror of the track layout in florida and california's version is the only thunder mountain with an outdoor loading station now as you step into your train get ready to hold on to those hats and glasses cause this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness reaching speeds of up to 35 miles per hour big thunder mountain takes you up three major lift hills down multiple shallow drops pass an animatronic goat as you twist and turn through many short tunnels ending your wild train ride through the town of rainbow ridge it's a highly themed outdoor coaster with some pretty cool effects as well since this ride doesn't have any steep drops riding in the back will give you that extra bit of thrill and if you want a less intense experience take a ride in the front big thunder mountain is an overall immersive thrilling roller coaster that can be enjoyed by the entire family number 4 guardians of the galaxy mission breakout the next attraction at disney california adventure is hard to miss since it soars 183 feet over the park guardians of the galaxy mission breakout opened on may 27 2017 replacing the previous twilight zone tower of terror mission breakout is still a drop tower ride so be prepared to scream but also be prepared to laugh as you step into the collector's fortress you'll soon be greeted by rocket raccoon then as you're seated in your ride vehicle he cuts the power and tries to regain control of the gantry lift now here's where the experience gets wild the lift takes you up then drops you up to 130 feet at speeds of 39 miles per hour and for the entire two minutes and 10 seconds on the ride the vehicle is constantly in motion even when it stops for the show scenes it still bounces you up and down it's honestly a really fun ride and you also get a great bird's eye view of the park there are six different sequences each with its own song visuals and drop sequence that's sure to make you scream you never know which sequence you'll get so this is the perfect attraction to ride more than once number three radiator springs racers next we'll speed off into cars land at disney california adventure where it's home to the one and only radiator springs racers the attraction opened with the land on june 15 2012 and gives you the unique opportunity to race through the cadillac mountain range as you step into your car you begin a leisure journey through ornament valley then

outside traveling along many hills and bank turns where you reach speeds of 40 miles per hour racing to the finish line the winner is selected at random so in any case you have a 50 chance of winning the race radiator springs racers does have a single rider line that can really help cut down on wait times since this is a very popular attraction at the park between not knowing if you'll enter luigi's room on the left or ramon's room on the right inside the show building or whether you're the insider outside car on the track and if you'll win the race radiator springs always gives you a unique experience every time you ride number 2 splash mountain every day is a zippity-doo da day in critter country at disneyland splash mountain officially opened on july 17 1989 and takes your

a 45 degree angle your log travels down the flume in a mere three seconds reaching a maximum speed of 40 miles per hour now originally when splash mountain was built the drop was 47 degrees this was two degrees steeper than the other two splash mountains around the world but the most recent refurbishment in 2018 corrected the angle to 45 degrees but don't worry you'll still get wet splash
