Perhaps the very best roller coaster in Orlando, Florida, can be found at Universal Studios. Revenge of the Mummy is an unbelievable indoor roller coaster that propels you into complete darkness, where you will find evil in every corner, including warrior mummies, fireballs, and a fair share of scarab beetles. It's fast and jolting, and as much fun as any roller coaster in the United States.
Just across the way at Islands of Adventure, you will find The Incredible Hulk Coaster, a high-speed roller coaster that is as mean as it is green. This outdoor roller coaster really flies, and you will have to hold onto your hat during each of the several upside down twists unless you want to lose it. Don't eat beforehand, or you just might lose something else.
Although Disney is not necessarily known for its roller coasters, they really came through with the new Expedition Everest: Legend of the Forbidden Mountain at Disney's Animal Kingdom. On this wild, train-like coaster, you will come across the mysterious and ferocious Yeti, also known as the Abominable Snowman. Duck at the right time, and he just might miss you when he takes a swipe.
Another of the best roller coasters can be found at Disney, the Rock n' Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith at MGM Studios in Orlando, Florida. You will take a road trip in a really long stretch limo that really accelerates. This indoor coaster boasts a soundtrack by Aerosmith, and it's one wild ride, albeit a little short. (If only the line to ride it were as brief!)
Of course, no trip to Orlando is complete without a visit to the Magic Kingdom. And no visit to the Magic Kingdom is complete without a ride on Space Mountain. Space Mountain is a classic indoor roller coaster that hurtles you into the pitch dark. It's still one of the most thrilling rides in Orlando, even after all these years.
Finally, at Sea World in Orlando, you will want to take a ride on Kraken, one of the biggest, baddest roller coasters in the Sunshine State. This outdoor roller coaster really packs a punch. It's an unforgettable thrill ride you won't want to miss.
Thanks for reading this guide to the best roller coasters in Orlando, Florida.

Jack, extremely impressive and unique list you've collected here. I am from that area of Florida and go back frequently for family visits and of course, roller coaster rides. However, I have to admit many of the ones you mentioned were rides ive for some reason skipped over. You better believe Im determined to test your opinion next time i visit home.
