Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
Epcot fans will know soon how great this ride is. Until then, Disneyland Paris is the only place in the world to get shrunk down to the size of a rat and then chased through a restaurant kitchen. If that sounds familiar, it should. It's the plot of Ratatouille. Well, it's an essential pair of scenes from the film, and it's a blast to experience as the basis of a ride.
Revenge of the Mummy
This roller coaster somehow shares the same vibe as Indiana Jones Adventure. On the surface, that may seem weird since one is Universal, while the other is Disney. Plus, they’re entirely different film franchises. Then again, critics once assailed The Mummy for being an Indy Jones knockoff. I actually think that Revenge of the Mummy is better than Indiana Jones Adventure, though. It’s been the best indoor roller coaster in the world for a decade now.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Unlike some of the other attractions here, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train reverently recreates a couple of scenes from its film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Between those sequences, it also delivers a thrilling roller coaster experience thanks to its unprecedented rocking cart design. The mine carts seem wobbly in just the right way, enhancing the belief that you’re miles beneath the surface, watching the Seven Dwarfs mine for gems.
Star Tours
The final entry walks a fine line in its exploration of the Star Wars universe. Technically, nothing that happens on the ride is canon, as it’s a series of random situations involving actual Star Wars characters and locations. However, many of these events recreate famous moments from the trilogy of Star Wars trilogies.
The pod race, the speeder bike chase, and the At-At battle on the ice planet of Hoth are but three of the possibilities. Even though Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run seems like the new hotness right now, Star Tours better honors the Star Wars film franchise.
