Adventureland Needs a "Thrill Ride"

[FettFan]

1. Dismantle Swiss Family Treehouse, relocate it to Animal Kingdom.

2. Build a Disney version of the old Mayan Mindbender.

Basically Space Mountain inside of a meso-American pyramid, the Mayan Mindbender was one of the top rides at Six Flags Astroworld before the park closed and was demolished.

The MM lives on today as the Hornet, at Amarillo's Wonderland Park.

If they were to do this, then every land at MK would have one roller coaster.

Theme and setting? Yes.
Horribly uncomfortable ride? No thanks.

I've heard Indy in Paris isn't as good as Anaheim's or Tokyo's.

It isn't.
Indy in DL and TDS are, in my mind, among the best attractions Disney has ever made.
Indy in Paris is a (well themed) small, and quite painful little roller coaster. Nice to look at...not real fun to ride.

Got it. Painful like Space Mountain or Matterhorn? It worse?

Worse than any Disney ride in the US.

It's basically a copy of a cheap carnival coaster, with nice Indy theming.
Intamin used their track on it, but the layout is straight out of a portable, fairground coaster.
And the seats are uncomfortable, even just sitting still.

Wow. Not to self: Don't ride Indy at DLP.

A more comfortable reimagined version would be good though

Certainly.
Lots of nice Indy ideas gathering dust at WDI...
*cough*LostExpedition*cough*
...that we'll likely never see built.

If only Spielberg knew...

Or this for that matter!

No, no. Do it.

Once.

Damn right.
The Manhurtin' Express is one painful (and expensive) ride.
Best avoided if possible...

Wusses!

Coasters travel half the speed with which you drive your kids to school everyday. They work by giving the impression of speed. Nothing wrong with being jerked around a bit!

Bring it on!

Nothing would be more thrilling for me in AL than to see it restored to its lush tropical self by removing the carpets.

Burn it, make a Fire Mountain out of burning carpets and plastic cartoon camels.
