Never got to WDW as a child but as an adult.
Thats the one that got me. The Alien movie was I think the only sci fi flick that ever got to me. They did a great job with the making the Alien so terrifying and building up the suspense every time there was an attack. So when we went to WDW soon after the attraction was opened, I was plunged into darkness, the Alien on the loose, breathing down your neck, the intense feeling of being trapped and unable to escape.....pure moment of terror. But what a fun experience we did over and over again. Yeah, the best attraction Disney EVER had.

When I was a kid, back in the dark ages, we didn't have a WDW to go to. We only had small amusement parks usually at a lake. So that's where I rode an old wooden roller coaster and was scared out of my wits. I still don't like roller coasters to this day
There's a rickety old wooden coaster at the Six Flags by my house called El Toro that somehow always manages to terrify me. Boardwalk coasters also scare me as well.When I was a kid, back in the dark ages, we didn't have a WDW to go to. We only had small amusement parks usually at a lake.

My exact answer. I was 12 the first time I went to MK and yeah... it says "scary" right in the name, why would they call it scary if it wasn't scary?
In 2011:
- Tough to be a Bug. This show taught me I wasn't a huge fan of dark/loud spaces. Still not too fond of them to this day.
- Haunted Mansion. I liked the ride, just not the tipping backwards part. I don't know but I got spooked by that part.
- Stitch's Great Escape. See the above reason for ITTBAB.
- Expedition Everest. Throw in moving fast and backwards through a dark loud space. Was one of my favorites in 2016, though.
- Triceratops Spin Don't ask why. I don't even remember why, just that I was.
- Fantasmic! Was spooked by a thunderstorm moving into the area because I thought it was going to cause a hurricane. I was dumb as a child.
- My sister was scared of Splash Mountain, but not because of the drops. One of the Br'er Foxes had a broken mouth and he looked right at us and she got scared.
Skyway to Tomorrowland. Even as a kid I thought to myself "Those don't exactly look too safe". It's kinda carried over for me to the Skyliner. But I do feel a bit safer riding it now. Maybe because its enclosed.
The one ride you couldn't pay me enough money to ride are those ridiculously tall swing rides. Like the one they have at ICON.
No chance.

Attractions that scared me at some point? Let's see...
- It's Tough to Be a Bug, for obvious reasons
- Jungle Cruise, specifically the temple
- The Great Movie Ride, both for the alien and the Munchkins
- the Under New Management Tiki Room, for the scene with Uh-Oa
I think that's about it.

When I was younger, I was freaked out by The Haunted Mansion. Not sure why. I don't mind it so much now.

Mission Space. Mainly because I sometimes fight motion sickness on spinning rides and figure that, by the time I know, it will be too late.

I’ve always been down for anything and everything even as a child, but the Alien scene in Great Movie Ride was never my favorite.

I’m shocked nobody has mentioned the heffalumps in Winnie The Pooh! That scene is unsettling in a way that’s difficult for me to describe lol

In The Great Movie Ride, I was terrified of the Indiana Jones scene with the snakes. Even though they weren't real in that, I always found myself looking away. I'm terrified of snakes.

I was scared to go on Big Thunder Mountain, my mom would sit back with me while my dad and sister went on (this was long before ride swap) so my mom didn't ride even though she liked the ride. Now I love Big Thunder Mt and every time I ride I think of my mom and silently apologize for making her sit out with me. Luckily we did get to ride together many times before she passed away.

I never was scared on ANY ride, Disney or otherwise (my late mom took me on just about ANYTHING)…I DID, however, feel very queasy on the original M:S…which was really weird. I heard when they added the green version, they actually toned the orange section down…at my age, I’m not about to test that rumor…
