Scared of rollercoasters but loved Indiana Jones Adventure--what should I ride at WDW?

Hi everyone--

I am planning a first-time visit to Disney World. I have been to Disneyland once, and I'm trying to come up with a list of rides at Disney World that I can stomach.

Picking rides as an adult has been tough for me since I am afraid of rollercoasters, the fastest I've ever been on was about ~26 mph with some drops and it was too much for me. I tried out some less intense rides when I went to Disneyland, but I was really bored with the "put me in a vehicle & drift me past some animatronic scenes" rides like Jungle Cruise & Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin. I absolutely LOVED Indiana Jones though--it was fast & wild without giving me the unpleasant feelings of traditional rollercoasters--and would love to ride more rides like that. I hear Dinosaur, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, & Expedition Everest are similar?

More info: I really liked Pirates & Peter Pan since there was a little more to the ride experience than just slowly drifting me past scenes Jungle Cruise-style. Was bored with Haunted Mansion, I liked Star Tours & Mad Tea Party.

Any WDW ride suggestions would be appreciated!! Thanks!

If you have a heavy lead foot and like the feel of driving fast, Test Track at Epcot may be an option. The car gets up to speed at around 60mph on the straightaway but it's no different than driving on the interstate with the windows down.

Only Dinosaur is like Indiana Jones.
If you liked Star Tours, Mad Tea Party, Peter Pan's Flight, and Pirates then go on them.
If you wouldn't go on Big Thunder in DL then don't do it at MK.
Expedition Everest is also a roller coaster and I wouldn't recommend it if you don't like roller coasters.
Even Seven Dwarfs Mine Train may be too much if the 26mph was too much and you wouldn't go on it again.
I cannot imagine not wanting to go on attractions like Haunted Mansion and Jungle Cruise especially if you don't like any thrill rides.
WDW like DL is mostly filled with slower moving song and animatronic attractions.
I guess you should probably just look at the attractions on the WDW website and see what appeals to you.

BTMRR is fast with jolting turns, Splash has a couple of small drops and the one big plunge at the end. EE is fast and has the backwards transition, RnRC is fast with loops and turns. 7DMT isnt as rough but still might be challenging for you.
There is a junior coaster, The Barnstormer in Storybrook Circus section in MK that you might find not as challenging.
