Top 12 most immersive theme park rides in the world

- Hello, and welcome to the top 12 most immersive theme park rides in the world. I chose 12 because… well frankly I feel I would create a mob of unhappy Disney fans if I went with 10 and left a couple out. Now obviously this will be completely opinionated, so my choices will not be the same as the next Homo sapien.
There were a couple guidelines on how I ranked these rides. How themed not only the ride itself is, but the theming of the queue as well. It’s uses of practical effects and movie screens. I myself am more of a practical effect guy but if the ride can mix the two seamlessly then it can make for a mesmerizing experience. I am eliminating any ride that is just a movie screen ride. Sorry Flight of Passage. The last 2 guidelines are how realistic the animatronics were made and how well the storyline was developed. So without further ado…. Let’s get started.

First off, I’d like to apologize to those over in California because of the loss of a beloved attraction. However, I will say that California Adventure did a pretty good job of keeping the ride mechanics while developing a world class storyline. And am excited to be able to experience Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout for myself. With that being said… Disneylands ToT had nothing on Orlando’s version. The experience starts in the courtyard of a haunted hotel. As you make your way into the Hotel, you notice how long it has been since anyone has stepped foot inside. You make your way into the boiler room and then you are ushered into an elevator. Every single piece of theming here has been thought out very carefully to envelope you in a world of ominosity. But once you start your voyage on the elevator, that ominous feeling becomes justified because you are thrown right into the world of the Twilight zone. With section where you actually move forward on a track through the intro to the twilight zone show and a randomized drop sequence, this ride is a Disney classic that I hope will remain for many more years to come.
#6. Jurassic Park: IOA, Florida
Ride By (JC Entertainment): • JURASSIC PARK RIDE 4K ...
As you have probably already realized… every ride so far on this list has been associated with either Universal or Disney… so there is no surprise that the next ride comes straight from Universal’s Islands of Adventure. This behemoth of a ride based off Steven Spielbergs movie adaptation of the book Jurrassic Park, written by Michael Creichton, costed a whopping $110 million to make. Nearly twice as expensive as the original movie. It was opened in 1999 and like most of the rides developed around this time, incorporated nothing but animatronics. While the original Jurrasic Park ride opened in California, the Orlando version definitely has a more realistic feel to the dinosaurs. While taking a slow boat ride and getting up close and personal with these reptiles, your boat is knocked off course by this nitwit. Now you have to dodge a falling crate, evade spitting dinosaurs, escape one of the most terrifying dinosaur animatronics ever created, and survive an 85 foot drop.

Flight of Passage at Animal kingdom was by far the most immersive ride I have ever been on. I thought I was dreaming when the opening sequence happened. Also, the Ratatouille ride at Disneyland Paris was also a very well put together attraction.
Flight of passage was seriously life changing, it felt so real I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time I was riding it!
I was surprised this didn’t make it.
My top is Spider-Man and I'm glad it's on this list. The story is great and the use of 3D is the best of any theme park. I've been to Tokyo but not the Disney parks there. Excellent video! This ranking is fantastic!
The nail has been hit pretty hard on the head here. Great job not only on the picks but the animations as well!
Who knew that they would be putting so much adanced tech into a theme park ride. If Disney himself saw what his creation has turned into!
Pooh's Hunny Hunt at Tokyo Disney. Free-roaming vehicles, awesome effects, and the scent of honey filling the air... Such a fantastic ride!
Thank you
..I was a huge part of that ride when we build it In Burbank...WDI from 1991-2020
@@MarriottLatino A masterpiece of a dark ride!
@@MarriottLatino AWESOME!
Wow this video is awesome! Thanks for the in-depth analysis on these dark rides without getting TOO technical. Very valid opinions on all of them. Also, thanks for not having an annoying voice😂arguably the most important part of a RUclips video. I’ll head over to your channel and check out your other stuff, this was amazing!
Wow ! What an amazing presentation from start to finish ! I actually feel like I’ve been on a short break , Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou for the whole experience 😊😊😊
P.s I totally agree with your listing of the rides 🌸
I love these types of videos!
Totally amazing...... thank you for the wonderful video
Great job on this video. Did you know that Dinosaur uses not only the same mechanics and ride vehicles as Indiana Jones at Disneyland, but the exact same track layout?
What about Europe? Have you ever heard about Efteling?
I have another video coming out soon for "another top 10 immersive rides" where i accept my failure in not recognizing other theme parks... lol thank you for commenting!
Yeah but have you heard of phantasialand?
@@geschlonst sorry but Efteling and Phantasia aint got shit on Disney, or Universal, like literally aint got shit, not even top 16. This video is now old and doesn’t include cosmic rewind. I mean come on Forbidden Journey, Hagrids, the new Jurassic Park, Nintendoland, Transformers, The Mummy, Rise of the resistance, Smugglers Run, you really think Eftlings Disney copies can even compete with those? Plus the queues are often not even done and the stories make no sense at Phantasialand lol
@@percussionnow5982 as you are clearly an American, you have literally demonstrated how you've never been to The Efterling, Phantasialand or Europa Park. Your ignorance is further highlighted by the fact that The Efterling came before Disney and literally was a park that inspired the creation of Disneyland. Also if anyone holds the authority on how to portray culturally european fairytales, it will be Europeans at the Efterling or others EU parks, not your americanised Disney rip offs.
@@percussionnow5982 What you are stating is as wrong as “facts” from the Channel coaster Bot oder from Disney+ series “imagineering” or “behind the attraction”. I love this series, but it’s like always: Disney get credit for things that they didn’t do by themselves, techniques and themes that weren’t invented by the same.
This genres of western/ Frontierland existed before in other parks, also in knots I think. Boat rides like pirates of the Caribbean existed before, at themeparks, so why should Fata Morgana be a copy cat? Horror Houses in Styles like the Victorian are also not an invention by Disney. Even before the themes were in theme parks, they were in books, in novels. So they didn’t invented the wheel like they always pretend. They don’t built è teething by themselves, like they pretend etc.
So I ask of you, where do you see a copycat in Efteling besides carnival festival? Which was a present.
The fairytales were build in Efteling first and they are European… and a fairytale forests wasn’t completely new either.
Symbolica was long Hand planned and imagined for years, even before we new anything about phantom Manor.
In general I wouldn’t talk about copycats but that Disney did an æmultatio.
Where are the cooycats in Phantasialand?
This is the best theme park video I have seen, gj dude. it sucks that you have only created one video. as someone with a channel I am throwing you a sub for the great work you did.
I appreciate this soo much! I have another vid coming out soon!
Cool! Thanks!
This is quality man! I would have put the Haunted mansion somewhere on there. But nice picks overall!
That last one looked amazing
Bruh, you implying new test track is an objective improvement is gonna give me an aneurysm. The original looked and felt like a magic 90s physics textbook come to life, and that charm is what made the ride. All I can see with the new one is soulless corporate cleanliness.
I miss old epcot. It had more charm to it and was unique being an edutainment park
Great vid man subbed!
Thank you Jared!!
What a cool list! I will take your word on it because I haven’t come nowhere near any of these dark rides. I haven’t had the money to visit any of these parks. Those that can do it- I say more power to you. If I ever get the chance, I will try some of them out. Thanks for the upload! Peace.
Number one looks insane. Wow
Byt,that is amazing!
really well-done!!
Thank you so much!
I agree with most of this list! I would swap Dinosaur and Indiana Jones though. I've ridden both and will definitely say that for both of them being the same ride system, Indy is far more of an immersive and thrilling experience! I wasn't impressed with either of the two Harry Potter rides though. My personal list wouldn't include either in the top 12. Really good rankings otherwise though! I'm sure now you would probably include Rise of the Resistance in an update!
Love your list, and I did watch both videos lol. But no flight of passage on either?!?! Whaaaat
I would have put Symbolica somewhere but still, amazing video!
Thank you!! Another video coming soon with plenty of symbolism 😏
Nice to see Dinosaur finally get some respect. It was my favorite ride growing up and it's still pretty high up on the list.
I guess I’m your newest subscriber 🤣🤣🌸
i love superman escape its a accelerater coaster in australia and is well themed at the started pretty cool! but these rides u showed are outstanding wish i could go!
This man definitely has a grudge against Dino’s.
Great video can’t wait for more
When will you upload again?
Very soon! Had a lot going on the last few years, but I plan on uploading regularly from here on out!
Amazing list! I agree with almost everything on here. I think my only change would have been Test Track for maybe Haunted Mansion or one of it's clones at the other disney parks. Love your content and I look forward to seeing more videos!
Thank you so much for the uplifting comment!! I will have another video coming out soon! There might be a Manor on there... 😏
Wow interresting to see Dinosaur that high. I mainly hear People say its much weaker than Indianna Jones and Journey TTCOTE. But amaizing list! Its only rides you have ridden right? I haven't ridden any of these, but my 3 favourites are the amaizing trio of darkrides in Efteling with Symbolica, Droomvlucht and Fatamorgana! Love them sooo so much!
Good list and video. I do like Jurassic Park in CA better than the one in FL
Yes definitely better with the new update
Have you had a chance to get on Hagrid, Velocicoaster, or Rise of the Resistance, yet? I think they would all have to make top 5 in a new list, arguably. I have never seen a roller coaster with that much theming & immersion. I agree with most of what you had, but updated for 2021, i'd say:
1. Shanghai Pirates: this is just the most incredible dark ride i've ever seen and i've only watched on youtube. This is fair
2/3: Forbidden Journey/ Gringotts. These are pretty much on par. Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade in Universal Orlando are the most immersive lands to date, anywhere.
4) Rise of the Resistance: Universal hollywood studios Orlando. This is absolutely fantastic. This was their response to the Wizarding World and Disney did a hell of a job. Super immersive and a fantastic, ambitious dark ride in general.
5) Velocicoaster: unprecedented for any roller coaster. The theming of this coaster sets a new standard for future thrill rides
6) Hagrid: another ground breaking, immersive Universal Orlando creation in the Wizarding World universe. Instantly becomes a top ride for anyone that rides it, largely due to its immersion.
Honerable mention: The Mummy, Universal Studios Orlando... I am surprised this did not make the list! I thought its use of animatronics, its queue, etc. is at LEAST on par with Dinosaur from Animal Kingdom. IMO, The Mummy is far more immersive, not to mention a far better ride, all around. They replaced a CLASSIC in Kongfrontation with The Mummy and I think there were barely any complaints. Killer immersive dark ride, without a doubt.
...
Good to see Steve Buscemi narating ride videos 😎
We need a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea & Journey to the Center of the Earth rides at Disney World, there are still 3 very underdeveloped parks, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom and Epcot Center. Any of those parks could use a half dozen more rides, these would be a good start.
This dope bro make more videos plz!!!!
I have one coming out soon!! Thank you Artunz!
@@parkwars6598 good too here ill stay tune
My favorites are Roger Rabbit's cartoon spin and Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Train.
I really adore cartoon aesthetics (honorable mention: Dudley Do Right's Ripsaw Falls).
I wanna go to the shanghai pirates ride bc the first time I saw it I was blown away I can only imagine it irl
Been on spiderman and pirates, both amazing and the avatar ride
I'm taking into account that this was made 3 years ago and there are some INSANELY great new rides around the world that would probably knock several of these off your own ranks, but I do feel like you only focused on Universal and Disney. Fair, as they are definitely two of the top contenders, however there are some really excellent rides across the globe (outside of the US, too) that are hidden gems in what you were judging. Some, yes, less animatronics, but I definitely feel like you ought to consider broadening your horizons on the plethora of attractions out there! Perhaps you have, it's been three years. LOL.
Wow. I have been on a lot of these. You need to go to Europe too, there are some great attractions. I was/am still blown away by Spiderman, and Hogwarts is in another class. Indiana Jones came close but I found the ride vehicle to be showing off the technology too much which I didn't notice in Dinosaur!. Can't wait to see Tokyo and Shanghai someday- Shanghai's Haunted Mansion variant is also off the charts.
uhhh what about the mummy ride at universal studios? Its like the most advanced and immersive rides in the world.
My all-time favorite rides are Six Flags Over Georgia's Monster Mansion and Universal Studios' Back to the Future: The Ride. Monster Mansion is just fun. I only rode it once, but it was really fun. The BttF ride was really fun. It was a motion simulator dark ride. It was replaced by the Simpsons ride, sadly.
The ride that's on my bucket list is The Haunted Mansion at Disney World/Land.
Rise of the resistance is now number one
Tron ride, avatar ride and original pirates of the Caribbean are also must haves
@@rubenisaksaldanaecheagaray7915 all great rides!! I have one coming out soon. You might see one of those 😬
8:30 Tokyo Disneysea is so underrated in America. XD
They look so good...and thank you for saying you don't control us...I can't stand it when you tubers tell you to like comment subscribe..its like they think we're to dumb to relise theres a like button.🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
F.L.Y. in Rookburgh would easily displace some of those lower in the list, Its steam punk theme knocks socks of DisneySea. Rookburgh blew my mind. it is a bit of a shame you have ignored such beautifully themed rides at great European Parks like Phantasialand.
What an amazing coaster!! I'm really glad you brought that one to my attention. I did a bit of research on Phantasialand and the coasters there are awesome! Though, personally, i feel that outdoor coasters have a difficult time immersing someone in an environment due to either the speed at which they move, or that only sections of the coaster is themed. I will definitely keep Phantasialand in mind when creating a "immersive rollercoasters" video. I am about to release a video with "another top ten immersive rides" soon! Thank you for the info on F.L.Y!
Yep, like Chiapas, Klugheim with Taron, River Quest and a Lot of Others stuff in Phantasialand Like Mouse o Chocolat. And some Rides in Europa Park or Efteling (Symbolica, one of the best DARK Rides in the world) as Well.
Valhalla blackpool winner of many many awards, been closed getting upgraded for last two years and supposed to be open now but dont think it will be this year but deffo watch an online pov from the early days of it, had real snow, a ring of fire the boat would go through, water vortex and lots of real fire
Where does the California Jurassic World ride rank among here now? That ride did the best upgrade I've ever seen Universal ever pull off AND it even has more animatronics that enhance what was previously there!
Absolutely agree on Gringotts being hyper immersive and under rated
1. Gringotts 2. Rise of the Resistance 3. Forbidden Journey 4. Pirates
I'm surprised rise of the resistance wasn't included
This video was made before Rise of the Resistance. I'm sure it would make the list now!
Two of my all time favorites that aren't listed are the two Star Trek rides that were in the Las Vegas Hilton. Being transported to the Enterprise was one of the coolest effects I've experienced, and having the Borg come after you was intense.
Ratatouille: The Adventure | Disneyland Paris is another amazing trackless dark ride
I personally like the Pandora ride in the Walt Disney world animal kingdom where you ride on a big bird or whatever
Japan universal studios also has the spiderman ride, it's my all-time favourite
❤❤❤❤
The updated version of this surly would have F.L.Y on it.
What about the immersive Wizard of Oz experienceat thee Wizard of Oz Museum in Cape Canaveral, FL?
What about Radiator Springs Racers 😭 i thought that was pretty good
Dark indoor flat rides
I really wish that Kennywood had more themed rides
You should continue
Okay... I shall. I have one coming out soon!!
Space mountain was pretty cool
I do not think anything will ever touch Alien Encounter (WDW Tomorrowland - Defunct). To this day I have not found an attraction that can give me the immersion of that attraction. A literal alien (definitely based on the famous Fox franchise alien) escaping from a cylinder it was teleported to by mistake, shattering said cylinder as the wind of the explosion and something made to feel like glass flew past you, running around a conference center room, licking you on your neck, spitting on you, running across your shoulders and killing a maintenance worker whose blood trickles down on to you. Nah...do not see that one getting beat. Disney should have never caved to the Karens.
Rise of the resistance: Hold my beer
@@PatoChu It is funny you posted this because I just got back from WDW and I have to agree. Best WDW attraction since Alien Encounter. I was having this exact conversation with my girlfriend. Not one attraction at WDW came close to the thrill Alien Encounter gave until I went ROR. That is one of the most amazing things I have ever witnessed ever.
@@damienblack1283 I’m glad you liked it 🙂
There is absolutely no way you dont mention Expedition Everest and Mystic Manor
Rise of the Resistance would have been number 1 if it was open at the time
How about the Dark Ride Roller Coaster | ARTHUR the Ride | Europa Park 2021
I thought the fire text on the thumbnail said “Journey to the center of the fart”
I know this is an old video but if you do a remake you have to add rise of risisants half the line is technically the ride and ohh it is so good
Sorry did not see next vid
i think saw from thorpe park is a good one
Is this a list only for Disney and Universal? Or have you considered some non-Disney/Universal actractions?
It definitely seems that way doesn't it? There will be another video soon! Where i somewhat correct my screw-up lol
How is that the Pandora Flight Passage from Animal Kingdom is not here,to me it should be #1 for how immersive and beautiful it is
I commented the same thing haha
he said something at the beginning about not liking screen based rides
Haven't watched the video yet, I'm guessing Rise of the Resistance is gonna be number 1
Wow I'm an idiot lol. Because this video was just recommended to me now, I assumed it was new. I never looked at the upload date and realized is was years old
I think Rise of the Resistance is probably number one in the world now.
How about.....Europe, the Efteling...
as soon as he said homosapien i was out
Flight of passage Animal Kingdom and Symbolica at the Efteling
No Splash Mountain?
Same as narrative park it is in Hollywood
The best ride I’ve ever been on was Harry Potter: Forbidden Journey through Hogwarts (number 2 on this list)
Nice video.. 2022 update DONT GO ON GUARDIANS of the Galaxy COSMIC REWIND. It’s a spinning blurry mess. What to know BEFORE you go 🤷♂️
Tomb Raider The Ride at KI is the most immersive ride I ever rode. Its also my favorite ride I've ever been on, and NOTHING can dethrone it. Too bad Cedar Fair destroyed it. I'll forever miss it. It is my #1 of all time, and the rarest credit I have.
Didnt they change jurassic park ride? ☹
Bro where are the european parks at?
I thought expedition everrest
You mean, best of disney and Murica right? Because most of these rides are the norm in Europa.
I wouldn’t put Jurassic park on there but it’s fair I guess
Even if we try to write with animosity, RUclips will delete the comment at the slightest hint of offense
I am really sorry but you should have named this the best dark rides I have been in because most of these you did go on
If it was new no1 would be hagtids
I think #1 should now be Hagrids Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure!
What a great ride!! Maybe it will make my next video coming out soon 🤔
Wicker man at alt an tower's hired as all great story line so dose 13 achaly
I love dinosaur but I feel like Indy is better just because dinosaur is outdated
Oh sorry I didn't hear they end really sorry
where is taron ? where in vliegende hollander ? where is black mamba ?
I believe a new list is in order with hagrids, tron and velocicoaster. But all these rides are amazing
Europa Park, Efteling, Alton Towers, Phantasialand. These are all parks with much better theming that realistically give Disney and Universal a run for their money. Of course your opinion is yours to have, but research is always necessary.
You are absolutely right... and I did a great disservice in throwing out a few rides in particular for reasons I don't even remember. I have another video coming out soon that I hope will at least somewhat make up for it!
No haunted mansion?SMH!
Star wars?
