MS can make you sick if you suffer from bad motion sickness. just get some drememean

TOT is all about looking scary after first little drop it's a breeze

RRC by far the best coaster i have rode. not scary cause you can't see the thing before you get on it

DIno is awsome not scary at all maybe you 5 though 7 year olds

Buy a copy of The Unofficial Guide To Disney - every ride is described, rated and opinions given by a poll of riders from different age groups so that you can assess a rides suitability for all persons in your party

I second the book idea, the Passporter also does a great job breaking it down by adult, teen, and child. Disney doesn't consider any of their rides "thrill rides" (although some clearly are)...

Mission:Space is basically a centrefuge - it spins really fast, but the feeling is supposed to be (if you stare straight ahead at the screen in your "capsule") that you are going up, not around. People often get ill on it, and it is the only ride at WDW where the floor is actually a material that is easy to wash down after people throw up when they get off.
Tower of Terror is a combination dark ride (you ride in an elevator through a hotel building) and a bungee cord drop at fast speeds in the dark. It is great fun, and not all that scary, nor is it meant to be. It is created to give you that feeling in your stomach like going up and down hills really fast in your car. The storyline is about a family that checked into a hotel and something went "terribly wrong" while they were in the elevator.
Rockin' Roller Coaster is a all out full-size roller coaster with upside down loops, corkscrews, etc. It is primarilly in the dark. It is fast and fun. It totally depends on if you like roller coasters as to wether you will like this one or not. Your coastercar is fitted with speakers that blast Arrowsmith music into your ears as you ride. Occasionally, in the dark, signs light up to give you the impression you are on a highway in LA.
Dinosaur is an indoor dark ride - you board a "jeep" which is sent backward in time to bring back a dinosaur before the meteor hits...it is fast and jerky, dinosaurs pop out at your from the dark. It is half-thrill ride and half educational (the dinosaur will lunge at your car, and then the voiceover in your car will say "Terranasaurus Rex"...and then you lurch into another direction and you almost bump into another dinosaur and the voice says "brontosaurus") etc. It's a very well done ride.

I sometimes feel sick after rides spinning rides, but I have not had a problem with MS. Just follow the directions to stare straight ahead, etc.

My 70 yr-old mom, who does not like heights or 'that falling sensation' rode ToT last May and laughed the whole time. Go for it!

RnRC is the best indoor dark coaster I've experienced. It's not to be missed.

Dino is fun and not scary at all. There is one photo op where they try to scare you so you will want to buy the picture of your whole family freaking out :lol: but other than that, it's a great ride. Enjoy :wave:

Mission Space - the most amazing expierance I have ever felt, A MUST, take some motion sickness pills if you need to, but you have to ride this ride!! You go on a mission to mars, and thats all there is to it really!

Tower of Terror - a lot of my friends refuse to ride this attraction, but the gloomy appearance is part of the awesome story of the attraction, it is such a rush, and you'll be raving once its over!

Rockin' Roller Coaster - is an updated version of space mountain except with aerosmith and with loops, incredible rush after the 0-60 launch in 2.something seconds.

Dinosaur - No biggie, the imagineers call this a "sensory overload" so many things are happening at once you cant possibly take it all in, it is a lot of fun - but this could disturb anyone with back problems (just ask my dad).

what other rides do you wana know about excluding EE havent rode it yet!

Just my 2 cents....Dinosaur isn't frightening but if you are prone to motion sickness it can get you - the sudden direction changes (read "jerky") can make me feel sick at certain times of the day.

Mission: Space... It's pretty intense, but unless you are prone to motion sickness, I think just about anyone can ride it. Remember, it's only a simulator, and the thrill comes from what you THINK is happening, not what actually IS.

Tower of Terror... It's an all-encompassing attraction that displays everything that makes Disney different. It is however the scariest ride in WDW, in my opinion. I can't miss it, because it rocks, but each trip I ride it just once, because I can't summon the strength to do it again.

Rock'n'Rollercoaster... It's faster than the other WDW coasters, but I think it's tame because of it's lack of soaring heights. I hate heights, so it's the perfect coaster for me. It's a very, very short ride though, and the pre-show is awful, especially if your not 'ready to rock' with the over-dramatic Aerosmith.

Dinosaur... If you like dark rides, and can effectively remove your disbelief, then you'll love it. The ride system itself is pretty fun, and the story can be scary if you can easily lose yourself in a story.
