California Screamin is the best Disney "roller coaster-type ride" in the US as far as the ride itself goes. This does not mean that it is the best US Disney roller coaster attraction, but it certainly delivers the most thrilling ride. Its not quite a hyper or rocket coaster, but its still very fun, especially at night. The launch, while not as intense as the other Intamin coaster just a few miles down the road, is a blast. I love how you are next to the water for the launch. The lay out is unique, featuring one loop with some pretty fun drops and airtime hills. The airtime bunny hills towards the end of the ride, unfortunately, arent particularly intense. Even in the back seat the train doesnt hit them with enough momentum to fling you skyward much, but this is to be expected with a Disney coaster. I found virtually no roughness on this Swiss creation after a good 15+ rides on it. California Screamin has a really unique look to it, which I happen to like. Its designed to resemble a woodie, even though its 100% steel. Although some dont like this, I think its a nice touch that complements and enhances the Paradise Pier theme. I did not care for the Red Hot Chili Peppers music overlay to the ride, but I think this is temporary. This gem is one more reason I look forward to my next trip to the Disneyland Resort, whenever that may be.
