Countdown to Extinction/DINOSAUR intensity question

[ExtinctJenn]

All of the research I did for my CTE page has turned up only soundtrack and animatronic changes... No vehicle or speed changes. Sometimes removing a soundtrack element that made it sound intense is all you need to give the impression it isn't. The height requirement was most likely less about the ride system and more about the intensity and an average height for age groups appropriate.

I think with me anyhow it is an age thing. Riding it for over 15 years now, the ride hurts. Kinda the same way Space Mountain hurts me now where it didn't when I was a decade younger.

Bang on.... I thought i was the only one that space mountain hurt now. Younger there was no pain. I seem to now hold my upper thighs tight against the lap bar and that seems to keep the pain down.

Definitely true. Which is why riding Tower of Terror these days and not being able to hear the darn audio over people's mumbling is frustrating to me and made the ride have considerably less of a psychological impact.

This is a growing phenom I've noticed.

People think..."I'm going on a carnival ride" instead of "I'm about to have an experience"...

People who should stay at Six Flags and stay away from Disney, I think.
