When amusement parks across the U.S. open their gates this year, there will be a slew of new rides and roller coasters to try. Bookmark this page and make sure to check the best amusement park rides opening in 2020 before going on your vacation.
1. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Disney’s Hollywood Studios, FL: Believe it or not, Mickey and Minnie never had their own ride at any of the Disney theme parks… until now. Opened at Disney World in March 2020, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway takes guests on a 3D ride through the Disney Channel’s Mickey Mouse cartoon shorts.
2. West Coast Racers Six Flags Magic Mountain, CA: Launched in January 2020, West Coast Racers is the world’s first racing coaster with two side-by-side tracks. The exhilarating ride includes four high-speed launches and multiple airtime hills over two complete laps. It’s so realistic to an actual car race that there’s even a “real-time” pit stop experience.
3. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Disney’s Epcot, FL: On Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, families will hop in cars that resemble a mouse and go on a crazy adventure through Gasteau’s restaurant in Paris. The ride will be located in the France pavilion at Disney’s Epcot and is expected to open this summer.
4. The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash! Universal Studios Hollywood, CA: Ever wondered what it was like to be your cat or dog (or parrot or fish) when you first adopted them? You can find out in The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash! at Universal Studios Hollywood. Riders become stray kittens and puppies on a quest to find their fur-ever home on this adorable ride, expected to open this spring.
5. Iron Gwazi Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, FL: When it opens at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Iron Gwazi will be the tallest roller coaster in North America, and the steepest and fastest hybrid roller coaster in the world.
