Note from 10Best: Someday, we'll all be ready to pack our suitcases again and head out on our next adventures. In the meantime, we'll keep supporting the places that inspire us.
Amusement park thrills and chills don't always come in the form of a roller coaster. Sometimes the most memorable and immersive ride experiences take the form of dark rides, 3D simulators, log flumes or drop towers.
The top 10 winners in the category Best Non-Roller Coaster Ride are as follows:
- Falcon’s Fury - Busch Gardens Tampa
- Splash Mountain - Disneyland & Magic Kingdom
- MEN IN BLACK Alien Attack - Universal Studios Florida
- Avatar Flight of Passage - Disney's Animal Kingdom
- The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror - Disney's Hollywood Studios
- Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance - Disney's Hollywood Studios
- Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts - Universal Studios Florida
- Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey - Universal Studios Hollywood & Islands of Adventure
- The Haunted Mansion - Magic Kingdom & Disneyland
- Soarin' Around the World - Disney California Adventure & Epcot
A panel of experts partnered with 10Best editors to pick the initial nominees, and the top 10 winners were determined by popular vote.
Congratulations to all these winning rides!
