Disney Challenge Day 29

My Favorite Theme Park Attraction: The Indiana Jones Ride or Rockin' Roller coaster


The Indiana Jones Ride! Picture from Tours Departing Daily


When it comes to Disneyland, nothing thrills me more than waiting in a 2 and a half hour line to ride the Indiana Jones attraction. Just kidding, but I really do love this ride. When I was a little girl I was too afraid to go on it because my dad told me there were snakes on it, and lets just say one of my biggest fears are those scaled creatures with fangs. I would watch as my entire family would go off together while my grandma got me some churros to munch on. Then finally when I revisited the park when I was older I thought, "fine I can do this, snakes? No biggie." And I'm glad I took my advice. I love this ride because you're in a big jeep and one person drives it. The fun part is that everyone blames the driver for the bumpy ride, and the first time I rode it I was the driver. As you continue on into a strange temple you find danger at every turn. From snakes, to bugs (this part was actually scarier to me than the big fake cobra), fire, and a pretty huge boulder-- you help Indie find his way. I love the theme song of this movie played throughout and I can still hear my dad laughing and yelling "ow!" when the bugs blew air on us. Great ride.

Another ride that I love but have only ridden once is Rockin' Roller Coaster. I obviously love it for Aerosmith and the old rock and roll feel, but also because it's fast and furious. When the ride first starts you shoot off like a bullet, going from 0-70mph in seconds. From then on there are twists and curves and some pretty awesome music. It reminds me a lot of Space Mountain which unfortunately adopted the loud music. Space Mountain shouldn't have rock music--it should have mystical music! Get on it Disney! Anyway, I can't wait to go on this ride more in 110 days!
