Welcome back to No Loose Items, a theme park podcast where Brian and Chandler talk Universal Orlando, Walt Disney World, Epic Universe, theme park news, rumors, hot takes, and everything else happening in the theme park world!

This week, we’re ranking our TOP 6 ROLLER COASTERS IN THE ORLANDO AREA — and let’s just say… we don’t agree on everything. 😂

Before getting into the rankings, Brian recaps a recent Disney trip that included Blizzard Beach, Disney’s All-Star Music Resort, Magic Kingdom, Skipper Canteen, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan’s Flight, and plenty of Disney food talk.

Then we get into the main event: our personal favorite Orlando roller coasters.

Our lists include some obvious heavy hitters, but also some VERY questionable choices. Brian leaves Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure off his list and puts Space Mountain in his Top 6. Chandler has Mako, Hagrid’s, and Expedition Everest on his list, while both agree that Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Stardust Racers, Expedition Everest, and VelociCoaster deserve serious consideration.

We also talk about:

🎢 VelociCoaster
🚀 Stardust Racers at Epic Universe
🦍 Expedition Everest
🌌 Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
🐉 Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure
🦈 Mako
🏔️ Space Mountain
🐲 Hiccup’s Wing Gliders
💥 The Incredible Hulk Coaster
🎸 Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
🪽 Manta
🧟 Revenge of the Mummy
🔥 Hollywood Drift and the future of Universal Orlando

And of course, we talk about whether Hollywood Drift could actually dethrone VelociCoaster when it eventually opens.

This is our PERSONAL list based on our experiences, memories, and what we enjoy riding — not a scientific ranking of the “best” coasters in the world. So if your favorite didn’t make the list… don’t come after us. 😂
