And to imply that adults aren't as into thrill rides is a little off. The majority of people who enjoy roller coaster type rides probably are teenagers but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy other types of attractions also.
To imply that EPCOT would be "boring" to me because I'm young is insulting. I happen to LOVE EPCOT, and my favorite ride ever is POtC. Disney is better than any "thrill" park in the world in my opinion and I know a lot of my peers agree.
Our attention span is in fact longer than 30 seconds, a fact many adults seem to be unaware of. We can enjoy Disney as much as any adult or child. I know I enjoy it now even more than I did as a small child because now all the little things a person doesn't notice when they're younger can be more appreciated.
I know I probably came off sort of angry, but I'm not. I know you guys weren't trying to start a fight and neither am I. I love your opinions, I just wanted to let you know that teens are into a lot more than thrill rides.:animwink:
(whew)
Okay......I'm done ranting.

Don't worry, Sasha! We're not trying to attack teenagers here. And I would like to slap someone who says 'Oh, all teenagers hate that EPCOT stuff...' I was pretty young on my first visit to EPCOT...and it was my favorite park!
Sure, people are people. And everyone is different. I know many teens who HATE Disney in general and only go to Universal. Every one of them likes those quick thrill rides more than a well done Disney ride. However, I know a larger number of teenagers who love Disney parks who prefer more well-done attractions.
And everyone was (or will be depending on how old you are) a teenager and many will like attractions like PoTC, many will like thrills like The Hulk, some will like attractions like El Rio Del Tiempo. So it's hard to stereotype, but most people probably know teenagers who like a certain category, i.e. quick, cheap (though they wouldn't notice as they are screaming their head off
And who knows...maybe a three year old loves the Hulk, and despises Peter Pan's Flight... well, that's an extreme...but I think we get the general idea.
LONG LIVE DISNEY'S QUALITY! :sohappy:
