Top 10 BEST Dark Rides In The World 

Thank you for watching! I'd love to know your Top 10 Dark Rides, comment down below!

My favorite is dreamflight ( droomvlucht) at efteling

Literally lost it at 1:54 where the guy lifts his child into the ride. I thought it was his backpack at first. Anyway, back to dark rides... I do love Phantom Manor!

Mummy in Orlando is one of my favorite dark ride. The museum theme is really cool and spooky. With the car goes further in the tension keeps building up until the Farrah showed himself on the ceiling out of a sudden. And the track wasn’t super tense, good for someone like me who can’t stand strong G force.

Pirates of the Caribean is my personal favourite, the smell of gunpowder and boggy water makes it extremely immersive

Worst fears: Superman- Kryptonite Harry Potter- Dementors Shawn Sanbrooke- People mistakenly thinking he's a 'big Star Wars fan'

as someone who grew up with Efteling I loved seeing Symbolica/Efteling in this list, and even number 2?! Incredible. So amazing that it can stand next to world class Disney & Universal rides. Thanks for sharing, I completely agree with you! Some of my best dark rides, along with the ones in this video: -Flight of Passage -Winnie the Pooh Tokyo Disneyland -Beauty & the Beast Tokyo Disneyland -Jurassic World Universal Being, but that wasn’t open until few weeks ago, same for Beauty & the Beast

Symbolica is so amazing that it can compete with all these Disney rides

I love the count down videos thanks for keeping us entertained while in lockdown 😀

Hey Shawn! What a great list of dark rides! Wish i had done so many to put these in my top ten but here are mine (not in top 10 order) - Droomvlucht - Fata morgana - Symbolica (all Efteling) - Pirates of the carribean Disney Paris - Spiderman universal Orlando - Harry potter ioa - Valhalla blackpool - tower of terror Orlando - Mummy universal Orlando - Harry potter universal Orlando

Yes Shawn. Love the addition of more footage. REALLY RRALLY GOOD!

I only experienced Symbolica, which is behind Droomvlucht and Fata Morgana in my opinion. I’m looking forward to experience Mystic Manor, all DisneySea Dark Rides (especially Sindbad) and Valhalla.

Coming up next: Top 10 BEST Theme Park Hot Dogs

That was great Shawn. It made remember all of the great vlogs I have watched of you riding these dark rides and how much I have enjoyed them.

I was literally just binge watching your USA road trip, i also can't wait to see your top ten coasters! Thank you for the great content

Been waiting for this. Keep up the good work. Stay safe.

Love this vid, keep up the hard work, love the channel, i havent got to ride many dark rides as i have only been to uk theme parks but i think that my fav so far is hex

Solid Top Ten Shawn 👌 Was worth the wait!

Amazing video! I enjoyed all your commentary on so many rides, even though I haven't been to Asia yet, but this is in my opinion one of the best videos you've put out. I showed my parents too and they really enjoyed it as well!

My favourites: Hex, Rise of the Resistance, Pirates of the Caribbean (Paris), Tower of Terror (Florida), Phantom Manor, Test Track 2.0, Harry Potter and The Forbidden Journey.

always love watching your videos thanks :)

Another great video shawn thank you for all these videos during this difficult time

Feels like I have been waiting for this top 10 forever 😁

Really great video with lots of good details given about each ride. I have done a couple of those rides but I really want to get on rise of the resistance one day as it looks incredible.

I love top ten videos! Quality content bro!

My Favourite dark ride (no particular order): Tower Of Terror (Florida) Hex Rise of the resistance The Simpsons Ride Pirates Of The Carrabien (DLP) Haunted Mansion (Florida) Space Mountain Misson 2 (if it counts) (Most is Disney but I am a huge Disney fan)

I love your passion and enthusiasm towards this. Great video, appreciate it 👍🏼

You really know how to present your content, absolute amazing descriptions and great information, cannot wait for your next 1.

All these rides looks amaizing!! I actully expected the pirates themed ride in Gardaland to make the cut, but I guess it were close? My top 10 1 Symbolica - Efteling 2 Droomvlucht - Efteling 3 Fatamorgana - Efteling 4 Flying Dreams - Ferrari Land 5 Hex - Alton Towers 6 Carneval Festival - Efteling 7 Merlins Quist - Toverland 8 Merlins Casstle - Walibi Holland 9 Maus Au Chocolate - Phantasialand 10 Minen - Tivoli Gardens

Great video 😃

You should do Top 10 themed coasters, like Expedition Everest or Revenge of the Mummy

Personally the Shanghai Disneyland’s version of Pirates Of the Caribbean wins it for me. I’ve only visited once but I went on it so many times during the day and there were some effects I just couldn’t work out exactly how they were done. The perfect combo of tech and physical movement

awesome . nice to see a vid like this . dark rides dont really get showcased a lot

I really hoped „bench“ would be on here

Well done. I completely agree with your choices and your rankings. And I haven't even been on your Top 5 rides yet, but you described them so well that I can totally see your point. I am dying to go to Tokyo DisneySea which I hear is the best themed park and Efteling which has so many creative dark rides. I was surprised that you did not include Valhalla from Pleasure Beach in Blackpool. I rode that back in 2003 and was blown away. Maybe it was incredible back then but hasn't aged well? I guess with the choices on your list, there was no room left in the top 10. I had forgotten about Spaceship Earth, but I think that was a smart choice because it is an amazing accomplishment. I look forward to watching your other videos.

great list , i would say my favourite dark ride is fata morgana at Eftelling i love that ride .

I love these top 10 vids they keep me entertained in isolation

my favourite dark rides are the ones at Blackpool Pleasure Beach (Alice in Wonderland and Wallace and Gromit Thrillomatic)

I love Valhalla at Blackpool Pleasure Beach the most.

Hoped to see Symbolica in this top 10. Secretly kind of hoped to see it at no.1 as it was your favourite for quite a while... 😁 But I do understand the no. 1 though... As a Dutchie quite proud to see Symbolica being second amongst all these great Disney dark rides! 👌👌

Please do a top parks in the world or have I missed one

I love your top 10s!

I've seen so many younger kids bail on this ride in the boiler room. Some will be apprehensive from outside of the ride and that just builds as they go into different areas. Some are almost in tears when it's about to get on the elevator.

Finally !!! 🤩🙏

I love this list, Symbolica is indeed an amazing darkride. My top 10 must be: 10- Manoir Hanté- Nigloland, 9-I corsari- Gardaland- 8- Knightride tower- Fantasiana- 7- Phantom Manor- Disneyland Paris- 6- Bos van Plop- Plopsaland- 5- Challenge of tutankhamon- Walibi Belgium- 4- Ghostbursters 4D- Heide park resort- 3- Droomvlucht- Efteling, 2- Symbolica- Efteling, 1- Laberinto del minotauro- Terra Mitica. I just get ghoosbumps with that amazing perfect darkride where everything is just finished from roof to floor.

brill ty shawn. channels amazing

Stay healthy shawn , great list.

I was really blown away by the footage of Rise Of The Resistance! Like you, I'm not a Star Wars fan (I haven't seen any of the films, haha!) but wow, that ride is definitely on my to-do list.

My favorite dark ride is currently Wild West Adventure at Slagharen.

Hi shawn thanks for sharing this with us very enjoyable and love the way you explain the experience. I'd love to ride star wars rise of the resistance looks amazing. Love to you as always stay safe xxx

Fantastic video! Great to see you doing some detailed Top 10's. Maybe you could do 'Top 10 BEST Planet Coaster Attractions' (made throughout all your series')?

My favorite was always the original king Kong ride at universal Orlando. The fact that they recreated multiple blocks of New York and multiple kongs that tower above you always blew my mind.

Nice to see spaceship earth Ona list like this

Of the ones I’ve experienced, I’d say Forbidden Journey and Tower of Terror are my faves. I’d absolutely love to try Rise of the Resistance, Indiana Jones and Radiator Springs. I will make it to California one day!

My top ten dark rides ( can be operating, defunct or SBNO); 10. Haunted house monster party - Legoland Windsor 9. Duel: the haunted house strikes back - Alton towers 8. The gruffalo river ride adventure - Chessington world of adventures 7. Ghost Train - Thorpe park 6. Nemesis sub terra - Alton towers 5. Lego city deep sea adventure - Legoland Windsor 4. Flight of the skylion - Legoland Windsor 3. Tomb blaster - Chessington world of adventures 2. Wallace and gromit thrill-o-matic - pleasure beach resort 1. Curse at Alton manor - Alton towers

Forbidden Journey is amazing, thanks for putting it on the list

I haven't been on many but I love pirates of the carribean at disneyland paris

You should do a video about really unique rides!!

Hints for 2021 Asia trip?😂 Great vid Shawn!

Totally with you on the dark ride v roller coaster point. I love a good coaster as much as the next man, but a good dark ride just has something more to offer for me. Would love to experience Star Wars Rise of the Resistance - absolutely cutting edge stuff. I tell you what though, I still love PBB's ghost train!

Can you do your top 10 theme parks, it's something you never talk about and I would like to know !!

Proud of Symbolica 👏

We can only hope that the virus crisis is over soon and we can all get back to enjoy our Parks, our rides and more!!! Thank you for making this video for us to enjoy during our stay-home quarantines ...

Loving the TPW jumper

4 views 10 likes RU-vid you’ve done it again 😂 GREAT video Shaun !!!! Keeping me entertained through isolation 🥺♥️

Great list love to do star wars phantom manor also good haven't done mystic icasari is great too thought that may be on can't argue with ya list tho they all look great

Some of my favourite dark rides includes radiator springs races, hex, Darren Brown ghost train,Thirteen and transformers the ride. That's my top 5 :)

Would like to see you rank each ride for every theme park

Tot, especially the boilerroom, looks exactly like the one in Disneyland Paris. I really really really hope that they never take the original TOT theme from the Disneyland Paris Studios version, because i think it is just perfect the way it is..

Symbolica is my favorite darkride by far I haven't done Rise of the Resistance yet, but seen the video's and agreed it looks great really immersive and thought out experience its genious

Hi Shawn ur my favourite RU-vidr

Droomvlucht at the efteling is my favourite...the animatronics are very detailed and more humanlike. I kinda dislike led screens and more childish stereotypical animatronics like the ones in symbolica.. Btw that number 10 darkride looks amazing 😍

You should do more of these!

My fav dark rides valhalla.and blackhole and rivercaves in blackpool.

I've been missing my yearly visit to Blackpool pleasure beach (we can't go now) so I've just been watching amusement/theme park related videos (which I do all the time anyway) and searching the planet coaster workshop for Blackpool's coasters...I learned that more people need to re-create the pleasure beach in planet coaster xD someone get on that! I'm up for simulating my experience

Hey shawn, make a top 20-10 of your favorite most intense elements you’ve experience on a roller coaster!

Great video. You come across really decent and genuine! Plus you clearly love it. Disney are the best in the business.

Symbolica is a solid top dark ride for me

Great vid! When are we getting new merchandise?🙏 Need it during this isolation!!

You should do a top 10 video about any type of ride not including Merlin Disney Universal and Cedar fair parks so it gives the smaller parks a chance to get a mention.

I’m lucky enough to have been on all of these except number1 and 2. Hopefully fixing one next year. I wish I had friends who were into parks on the same way so would have people to go with for number 2!

I know how universal does the portraits it’s quite simple really. They are all high def TVs that are programmed to do the whatever they show and then a frame is put over to make it look good or if you don’t feel anything it’s likely a special type of screen that universal made that feels like canvas but is a projection. It took about a year to get the paint look right though.

That’s an impressive list. Symbolica and Tower of Terror are the only ones I’ve done on that list, but to do those others one day.

Interesting fact about Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland... One of the queue interactive activities you could do was step on certain marked stones which would then cause the ceiling to drop a little bit to make it look like it was going to collapse. This scared people so much (especially children) that Disney decided to disable it. So the stones no longer move if you step on them and the ceiling remains in a fixed position. They did leave working the part of the queue with the spikes. Though lately I've tried to set it off and it appears to be broken. :(

You should make top ten dark roller coasters

Notification squad 🔔

Spaceship Earth has uncomfortable seats ... Maybe they'll upgrade that since they're working on it

Please do a top 10 of theme park shows in the world!

Could you please rank your favourite atraction parks in the world? Here's my top 3 (I only went to the states once and unfortunately i didn't visit a single theme park) 1: Efteling 2: Phantasialand 3: walibi Belgium

Another fun tidbit about the Indiana Jones ride that I've not seen mentioned, there's symbols on the walls throughout the queue. When it first opened, there were decoder cards given out so you could read the symbols. I still got mine somewhere lol

Hi Shawn, was in Florida back in december. Have to agree....rise of the resistance is an incredible ride, and experience. Love forbidden journey, escape from gringotts, and i'm a big fan of tower of terror. I guess fight of passage doen't count, being more of a simulator type ride?

Flight of Passage is my #1 dark ride. So amazing. Love the list though.

I love magic seaquarium at Fantasy island

Symbolica🥰🥰🥰🥰 Efteling is definitely the best theme park in europe

Hi Shawn and Charlotte. Another beautiful video to watch. I've been watching your videos since the hotel overview of the port aventura, I was looking for a hotel there. Since then i watch practically every video of you i am a big fan of theme parks and i am passionate about rtc and certainly planet coaster as one of the first alpha testers. Which would also be nice if you get bored of your own during this time of corona. It seems to me that of all your videos, there are probably bloopers that you have cut out if you turn them into a laughable film, then there is also a lot to laugh at this time. greetings from holland.

7:04 - It's Doc Hudson, not Sheriff.

I thought FOR SURE that Flight Of Passage would be #1. Completely forgot about Rise Of The Resistance. My #1 dark ride is by far JUSTICE LEAGUE: Battle For Metropolis at Six Flags St. Louis

I have to say, haven’t been back to the channel in like “forever”, but if I had to come up with the best dark ride in the entire world, is what you listed at #1: Star Wars: Rise Of The Resistance! I myself have not been on it yet, but it will be my target when I return to either WDW or DL California. When I first saw the ROTR vids, I almost ended in happy tears, and I believe I’m going to be in happy tears when I experience SW: ROTR in-person. Anyways, enjoyed your TOP 10 for this one. Stay safe from the CoronaVirus, it still lives here on planet earth today!😊👍❤️

God I wish my local Tower of Terror was still the old theme. It was so eerie and interesting. I like the Guardians movies but the theming was just so much better before.

I've only been on the Disneyland ones you've mentioned (minus Rise) and Universal Hollywoods Harry Potter
