Space Mountain at Disney Paris has a 54" height requirement, a launch and three inversions, so there's that. I'd count RnRC and ToT along with Journey to the Center of the Earth at DisneySea, I'll even give them Indiana Jones Adventure, Everest and California Screamin'. So there's 7 true thrill rides taking all of their parks into account... the rest are fairly family friendly (I see 4 and 5 year olds riding them).I would just love to see Disney do anything different! I don't feel immersed in the "lands" anymore at Disney. Animal Kingdom does an excellent job of transporting you elsewhere but outside of that... Disney hasn't delivered imo.
I know they like to cater to families and children but come one! Give us at least one true thrill ride.
I can't tell you how many times I have rolled my eyes watching that Disney World Documentary and the imagineers are talking about people wanting thrill rides and then promptly show Test Track & Mission Space
I don't see how Azkaban could be added convincingly since it's supposed to be in the middle of the ocean nowhere near Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley. The best expansions they could do IMO is adding the Forbidden Forest in IoA and the Ministry of Magic in USF.
Where's my E-ticket for Fantasyland? What's that - Fantasyland should be all ages-only? From looking at the park map, the whole place is all-agesYes, surely they made a terrible, terrible mistake. The complete mishandling of the HP franchise has plagued Universal for years.
Let's compare that to Disney's years-in-the-making Fantasyland Expansion which clearly has something for everyone. From ages 3-7.

But I agree that Disney has no idea what an actual thrill ride is. I'd love to see them take Bald Mountain and build a thrill machine coaster in Fantasyland - 54" height requirement, immersive theming, on-board music from Fantasia, Chernabog AA/projection chasing you throughout the ride, a few inversions in the pitch darkness, 150 foot drop backwards (with a launch as Chernabog is flying towards the car rolling backwards)... THAT's a thrill ride!! Fire Mountain in Adventureland could be a great addition as well.
Something to equal Hulk, Dueling Dragons, Popeye, Dudley, Spider-Man, FJ, MIB, Mummy, Gringotts, even a family dark ride with the craziness of Cat could be cool - Disney just hasn't shown the drive to build cutting edge thrill rides. MK only has 7 attractions out of 40-50 with a height requirement. Speedway, Barnstormer and SDMT are under 40" so they're more for the preschool/kindergarten crowd. Stitch is 40" for slight intensity, but it's a terrible attraction so I wouldn't recommend anyone go on it
So MK has 3 rides that could be classified as thrill rides. A few more E-ticket thrill rides wouldn't hurt and would actually help draw in more demographics. Disneyland has 4 (Indy, Splash, Big Thunder and Space - maybe 5 if you include Matterhorn which has only a 35" height requirement so I don't)
Well I have heard rumors of a new UNI water park... Just drop Azkaban right in the middle!
I'd say ToT is a true thrill ride at night... during the day, not so much. Everest I do agree isn't a thrill machine... but RnRC is a bonafide thrill ride just for the launch and inversions - it's about equal with Mummy in terms of thrill. Space is a thrill ride just because of the whiplash from the track
But the tv is flat!!
Does this not scream deluxe to you?
The iHome Ipod dock... easily worth an additional $120 per night alone!
I definitely would give them Space Mountain... I like whiplashI'd say ToT is a true thrill ride at night... during the day, not so much.

Space is a thrill ride just because of the whiplash from the track
And yeah, theme parks are known for theming more than 300 ft coasters... but a 150 ft one inside a Disney mountain could be great with the right effects, etc. Hulk, DC and Rockit are leaps and bounds above Disney's coasters in terms of thrill, though.

Yes as his project got downgraded from 3 to 1 and a half...You could have removed that awful Voyage of Sinbad show to put another Potter attraction. Each Potter land is actually only one new ride. Didn't Cameron say, one ride doesn't make a land?
I love how you and your ilk always seem to forget either the Hogwarts Express or Harry Potter and Escape from Gringotts when trying to peddle this stupid idea that there is only one [new] ride in each portion of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.You could have removed that awful Voyage of Sinbad show to put another Potter attraction.

Why does it matter when Universal Orlando Resort is so disappointing to you to begin with? You're either a fool who just blows money on things you don't like or a liar who has no intention of going but wants to to try and stir up drama.
