Disney’s latest ride, and the first of its kind, is surprisingly located in Downtown Disney. The new Characters In Flight lets you climb aboard a large, helium filled balloon that will lift you into the air up to 400 feet. If you’ve ever wanted to go on a hot air balloon ride, Characters in Flight is your chance, just minus the hot air! After boarding the balloon your captain will raise it up and on a good day the balloon goes to a maximum of 400 feet. You can see many parts of Disney World when at the maximum height such as the entire Downtown Disney, Epcot and parts of Hollywood Studios. If you love heights Characters in Flight is for you as its double the height of Expedition Everest. Below is a video of the balloon lifting off and the view from the top!

Once located in Epcot’s Mexico Pavillion, the El Rio del Tiempo boat ride, also known as the River of Time, took passengers along a boat ride through Mexico. As of 2007 this version of the ride was removed and replaced with the Gran Fiesta Tour. Since the ride was actually rather good, I felt I should post it anyway and soon the newer version will also be here on Disney World Video. The ride took you through a strolling tour of Mexico, showings it’s beaches and party atmosphere. It was somewhat like Small World in nature but had it’s own flavor as it housed both animatronic and projected video, making for a very fun mix. The tune was also very catchy as well! Since it’s been gone for a few years all we have left of El Rio del Tiempo is the video ride through. Enjoy!

In the Norway Pavilion of Disney World’s Epcot one of the few rides of the World Showcase is housed. In the Maelstrom you board a viking ship to sail the seas of Norway, learning about its past and adventurous nature. Along the travel you’ll meet trolls and polar bears, along with being spun around a few times. Half of the ride takes place with the ship backwards, making it very exciting as you plummet down the hills and get a small splash at the end. There is even a surprise run over a waterfall, ending with a great movie of Norway as you exit the ship and enter back into the World Showcase of Epcot.
