NUMBER 1 – The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, Islands of Adventure. Mind-bending 3-D battle against super-villains climaxes with virtual 400-foot free fall, stopping just short of manhole cover. Just as impressive today as in its debut in 1999.

Number 2 – Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Dropping 13 stories in an elevator shaft — that overlooks the park. Unpredictable fall sequence prevents comfort zone. Outstanding theming of old hotel runs throughout.

Number 4 – Kraken, SeaWorld Orlando. Roller coaster with just enough hills, rolls, loops, and corkscrews to thrill. Just short enough to keep your stomach where it belongs.

Number 8 – Soarin’, Epcot. Tiered passengers dangle in front of a gigantic screen, appear to float over various California scenes. It’s like a great group hang-glide.
