#10 Neon Rider

Neon Rider kicks off with a story that feels like it’s straight out of a Terminator movie, packed with unexpected twists.

#6 Ghost Coaster (SpongeBob Pack)

Ghost Coaster is a delightful roller coaster ride set in the SpongeBob SquarePants universe, designed to playfully defy your expectations. Initially appearing as a smaller, confined course, it quickly expands, taking you through various imaginative worlds that SpongeBob fans will especially appreciate. The ride includes a charming mini-haunted house section, offering fun rather than fright, and a segment reminiscent of Disney World’s Space Mountain, where you're plunged into complete darkness. The standout feature of Ghost Coaster is its dynamic track creation, making it seem like you'll fall off the edge before the track materializes beneath you. This unique element adds an extra layer of excitement and unpredictability, making it a truly memorable and joy-filled experience.

Dynasty Dash, the latest addition to the Epic Roller Coasters lineup, is an action-packed thrill ride that plunges you into the heart of an epic battle between two factions on the Great Wall of China.

Dynasty Dash is not just a roller coaster; it's a captivating storytelling adventure that offers an unforgettable ride through a fantastical war-torn world.

#4 Snowland

Snowland is a deceptively thrilling ride that initially seems like a serene journey through a snow-covered forest with animals. However, it quickly proves to be one of the most intense courses in the game, delivering a visceral experience that you feel in the pit of your stomach. With its blind drops, unexpected jumps, and uniquely dynamic track movements, Snowland keeps riders in a constant state of excitement and anticipation.

The adventure begins with a leisurely stroll through Jurassic times, allowing you to soak in the prehistoric atmosphere. This tranquil start is soon interrupted by an absolutely incredible and wholly unique track jump that propels you into the second part, where the pace picks up and the excitement builds. The third part transforms the experience entirely yet again, thrusting you into a thrilling escape from a rampaging T-Rex. The ride incorporates innovative elements such as track destruction, backward movement, and the standout track jump, all of which add layers of excitement and unpredictability. While T-Rex Kingdom may not be the most intense roller coaster in terms of sheer speed and drops, its exceptional storytelling and creative use of the track make it a standout, immersive adventure.

#2 Haunted Castle

Haunted Castle is a spine-chilling ride that takes you through multiple floors of a haunted house at night. Unlike typical high-speed roller coasters, this ride maintains a slower pace, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the eerie atmosphere. As you navigate the dark corridors and creaky rooms, you'll encounter a variety of fear-inducing elements, from creepy mannequins and an unsettling girl very reminiscent of The Ring. People with arachnophobia beware, as there are swarms of spiders and much more to fear in this course. The ride culminates in an intense jump scare that never fails to raise the hairs on the back of your neck, no matter how many times you've experienced it. Haunted Castle is a masterfully crafted, creepy adventure that delivers thrills and chills in equal measure.
