Disneyland rides

Ok... So I have done a post on Anaheim before and I didn't write that much... 
 so ,I have decided to write about the best rides in Disneyland (my own opinion)
So first ride  is the twilight zone Hollywood tower hotel
Located in California adventure park.
This ride was based on an episode from the twilight zone basically, 
it's about the best hotel in hollywood the Hollywood tower 
hotel from like 1939 anyway for many years, this hotel was the best in business
. But then one stormy night on October 31st a freak
 thunderstorm hits Hollywood and lightning strikes the hotel,
 and 5 passengers of a service elevator were never seen 
again (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F2-oV3fnu8)
 once on this ride, you will uncover what really happened on that night.
WARNING! DO NOT GO ON THIS RIDE IF YOU HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, 
ARE PREGNANT, HAVE ANY OTHER HEART PROBLEMS ETC.
Ride number 2.
Indiana jones ride located in adventure land 
You enter the temple of the forbidden eye all goes well 
until a giant boulder starts chasing after you!!! Luckily Indiana 
jones is there but can he save the day!
The third ride is the California screamin a wonderful thrilling 
rollercoaster that takes you up high and down low even
 round a loop turning sharp corners at a very high speed! 
Will you survive?

WARNING! DO NOT GO ON THIS RIDE IF YOU HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, 
ARE PREGNANT, HAVE ANY OTHER HEART PROBLEMS ETC.
Ride number 4
Big thunder railroad
An old mine train speeding through caves and around corners
 in the canyons I went on this ride when I was seven years old 
and absolutely loved it!! However others may not agree...
My little sister Tegan liked
Grizzly rapids
A great but wet ride where you are in a circular boat like raft 
going down small waterfall rapids with a small group of people 
this ride was fantastic
Splash mountain.... Well we will just leave it at that
Toy story mania a ride/game where you shoot targets with your 
toy story pals
Nemo submarine voyage take a ride in a yellow submarine  
and discover the magical world of nemo.
then of course theres the classic 'its a small world ride' discover the magical world of dolls and other cultures it is simply magical.
in my own opinion disneyland deserves 5/5
Happy holidaying ;)
