10 Theme Park Rides Inspired By Movies We Need To Ride

Rotm 2

How many times have you exited the theater after a really great movie and wished that for just a few minutes you could have been there, inside the movie with the protagonists seeing things from their perspective? Well depending on the movie perhaps not, but you can still get a tiny piece of the action and take the experience one step further by visiting theme parks all around the world to take a ride on attractions based off films. Most of the time these are what you would call "dark rides" where the riders are placed in carts or boats that move slowly through a sequence of rooms to build suspense or tell a story. Dark rides are not the same type of fun as a roller coaster, but different, usually placing more of a thrill on your imagine rather than your body physically. Next time you find yourself at a Disneyland or Universal Studios take a look at the park map and see if you recognize any of the names on this list. Take the time to ride them,, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. If you loved watching Men in Black try taking on some alien baddies yourself, if you loved watching Indiana Jones try surviving the excavation of a dangerous temple with him, and if you loved watching The Mummy make sure he doesn't suck out your soul while you wait in line.
