| More About This Park |
Notes:
The Magic Kingdom follows the formula established by California's Disneyland, dividing into Tomorrowland, Frontierland, Fantasyland and Adventureland (roughly in declining order of merit). Some rides are identical to their California forebears; others are greatly improved. In Tomorrowland, old favorite Space Mountain offers a gut-churning roller-coaster trip around distant galaxies on a ferocious starlit switchback. In the witty, fast-paced Timekeeper , an animatronic mad professor and feisty robots take you on a dizzying trip through time, relayed convincingly on an enormous 360° cinema screen.
Rides in Frontierland are gentler, though just as much fun. On Splash Mountain , a lazy boat ride through Brer Rabbit land culminates in a shriek-inducing 50ft drop. People with weak hearts steer towards the less frenetic runaway train of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad , or, if the rides are getting too much, to the hokey Country Bear Jamboree , where you can hoedown with furry, dungareed grizzlies. In Liberty Square , between Frontierland and Fantasyland, make time for Haunted Mansion , a seriously spooky ghost ride with spectacular holograms.
Fantasyland, heralded by Cinderella 's exceptionally pink castle, is very much old-style Disney, with a lot of stuff for kids. For adults the most endearing ride is the very 1970s It's a Small World , a bizarre boat jaunt advocating brotherly love. Adventureland feels similarly quaint; Pirates of the Caribbean , a boat ride through a town invaded by debauched robotic figures, looks distinctly tame compared to the newer rides in Tomorrowland.

They desperately need something new, besides Stitch. They need a major ride like Spash Mountain.

This park is pretty cool. I went to this park back in 99. I had a good time with my friends and family.

No thrill whatsoever. Even a Traveling Fun Fair that only had $50 to spend on rides, food, and staff is WAY better than this park.

This is the best disney park by far. It is awsome such a thrill. But the over crowding is a slight problem but hey you cna deal with it as there is so much to do here thats thrilling.

This park is dated. It has way too much hype. The crowds were crazy and the lines were too long. The only things I enjoyed were the three mountains.

There are no super-thrilling rides here, in this park. Many of the rides use excellent-special effects to rise the thrilling-factor.

It ok. It's better for little kids. For thrills go to Epcot and MGM Studios for disney related stuff.

I loved Magic Kingdom but they need to work on there rides. I was on three of them and they stopped in the middle of the ride (Buzz lightyear's Space Ranger Spin - 2 min. stop, Haunted Mansion - 5 min. stop, Splach Mountain 6 - 7 min. stop) and one stopped while I was standing in line (Peter Pan's Flight - 15 min.) So Magic Kingdom needs to get it together. (For an example I have been to Dollywood over 180 times and I have not ever stopped five times on any rides even if you total all of the stops I have made on rides together.

Magic Mountain is a very original American park. With the Disney characters and the roller coasters, it is very enjoyable.

The first time I've been to this park was fairly recently...fun time...but I felt like a walking advertisement when I boarded my plane for home.
By the time I left I have accumulated, Disney Flipflops, Disney Baseballhat, Disney Shirt, Disney Pens, Disney Bag....I came to Disney with no disney products. How does this happen?
If you have the time, take the backstage tour...you go underground in the Utiladore and they take you backstage in the parades...it is very interesteing and you can ask anyquestion you might have about Disney.
