Disney’s Magic Kingdom

Dark And Immersive Rides

Magic Kingdom dark and immersive rides set the gold standard many other parks still follow. While other parks try new formats or technology, Disney stick mainly to two systems it knows best.

You won’t find any fancy trackless ride systems here, just trusted slow moving water channels and Disney’s patented Omnimover system. Sticking to trusted ride systems also means there are absolutely no height restrictions for these rides adding to their popularity and iconic statuses.
