Since its inception, the tradition of Disneyland has been to build rides based on the company's most popular movies. However, some of these rides have more to offer than others, being better constructed to showcase production design and thrill guests. One of their biggest draws might be that they are located in one of Disneyland's best lands, conveniently close to other great rides plus the best shopping and dining options.
While Smuggler’s Run is primarily based on the original trilogy, Rise of the Resistance is a homage to the sequel trilogy. It might not be as clever in terms of the vehicle or the interactive elements, but die-hard fans will enjoy the life-size characters and machines lifted straight from the movies just the same. After all, all of Star Wars Land is about the thrill of seeing what these things would look like in reality.
The ride features Davy Jones and the Kraken as its narrative's main antagonists, finishing with a sea battle against the Flying Dutchman and ending with Jack Sparrow having now acquired a vast amount of treasure. The different Pirates of the Caribbean rides have different merits, and many will argue for the classic, enigmatic atmosphere of the original.
An impressive amount of thought went into Smuggler's Run to bring Han Solo's world to life for his oldest fans. The ride has some slow sections with goofy animatronics spouting jokes from the movies, which some people might find cloying and others classic. However, the last section of the ride is a fast race with Doc's theme from the movie, resulting in an incredible experience, especially when riding at night. Radiator Springs Racers instantly became a favorite when it opened, also making it one of the rides in California Adventure to go on first.
3 Mad Tea Party Located In Fantasyland Alice in Wonderland predates Disneyland's opening by four years; while the Mad Tea Party was there at the beginning, the official Alice in Wonderland ride came a few years later. However, it is safe to say that the former is the better and far more creative ride. Guests sit in giant teacups with their friends or family before the whole thing starts spinning — they are given a wheel to rotate if they want to spin their individual teacup even more.
