I need you to drop everything you know about Disney and pick the one park that has the best/ most thrills. If you would name them as well that would be helpful. My friend is taking someone who only wants thrills, but she doesn't want Universal. She also doesn't care for the Disney cartoon characters as much. Thanks so much for your help.

Splash is a bit intense... Space a bit too... Big "PIeCe P1PE !!1!" Thunder (obscure WDWMagic reference) a bit too...

But nothing beats the one-two punch that looms over Sunset Blvd.

TOT and RNRC FTW!

It's a thrill for me to step onto Main Street.:lol: I love the three mt's and everything else there but the big thrills are at DHS.

Pretty much everyone that I have talked to has said DHS - RnR and ToT are always big with the thrill lovers that I go with. I think AK has the most milder thrill rides, but DHS has the most thrilling ones.

If she doesnt want Universal. How about Busch Gardens, they have some of the best roller coasters in Orlando right? I havent been there in a long time, but I remember loving the Montu and Kumba, and they got that Shiekra thang down there, maybe she'd like that.

Now if its disney, Id guess mgm. But honestly, with disney, all the good thrills are spread out, and im pretty sure they do that for a good reason. E:E at AK, ToT and the loud coaster at mgm, and Space and Splash at MK. I couldnt decide, I would say Busch, but if you have the hopper try doing all the parks except epcot.

Yeah, I'd agree with you and say Busch Gardens. Ultimate place for thrill seekers.

And by the way, Busch Gardens is in Tampa, not Orlando.

I do have to say the Studios. Even though the park may be more lacking in attractions, one of it's strengths over the over three parks is some of the biggest thrill rides. Obviously ToT and RnRC to name them.

I would say DHS, but if all you are looking for are thirlls, I don't think any of the parks are worth a full day's admission if you aren't going to do the whole park. If you are at DHS at park opening, you can ride ToT and RnR a few times each before it gets too crowded but then what will you do with the rest of the day? Star Tours might be somewhat thrilling but other than that it seems like a big waste of time and money if you're going to skip all the shows and other non-thrilling attractions. I don't know why you can't do Universal or Bush Gardens, but if all you want is thrills, those would both be better choices IMHO.

Universal and Busch are better for pure thrills, but following the OP's rules, I'd go with DHS.

Tower of Terror and Rock n Roller Coaster are top level thrills, matching anything that can be found at other parks. Star Tours is still a good thrill ride, even if it is long in the tooth. Thrillseekers will probably like both stunt shows -- Indiana Jones and LMA are about as thrilling as shows get. The effects in Fantasmic would probably appeal to thrillseekers as well, as would those in Catastrophe Canyon. That leaves MuppetVision, Great Movie Ride, Voyage of the Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Magic of Disney Animation, One Man's Dream, High School Musical as things the thrillseeker might try to avoid, but perhaps he/she will deign to try at least a couple (GMR and MuppetVision, perhaps) with a a good attitude and an open mind!

The other parks have good thrills -- Everest, Dinosaur, Kali at AK; Mission:Space, Test Track, Soarin' at Epcot; Space, Splash, Thunder at MK -- but they represent a higher fraction of the attractions and time spent at DHS.

But truly, if one goes a Disney park caring only about thrills, one will be disappointed. It isn't that the thrills aren't there at all, just that they are a much less significant part of the enjoyment at a Disney than at Six Flags, Busch, etc.

Why not Universal? It has a lot more thrills than the Disney parks and great theming and food as well

Because this is a Disney Forum??:veryconfu Why else would we be discussing the most thrilling Disney Park? My vote went to Epcot, Mission Space, Test Track and Soarin' were enough for me to pick it. MK was also close, MGM only has two, and AK only has 2 (maybe 3) in my eyes.

DHS(MGM in my heart)~~ Star Tours, Tower of Terror (I could spend hours on it), Rock n' Roller Coaster...great ride but over so fast becasue it is so fast.

AK- Kali, Everest, Dinosaur, Prim Whirl (bring a barf bag, just in case)

MK- Splash, Space, Thunder, Teacups, maybe

Epcot-Test Track, Mission Space

There are plenty at each park.:)

I'm not going to the parks, my friend is. She wants the best disney thrill park. Don't ask me why, she just does.

EDIT: She's an actress too, if that helps.
