What's the most thrilling ride in Walt Disney World?

Indy Speedway with my 2 year old driving:hurl:!
I perfer Space too, escpically because I always feel like my arms are going to get cut off...to be fair I have never done Mission Space. I get belly aches from the tea cups and don't want to spend my whole day at Epcot sick...want to try light version now that my oldest are tall enough.

I think the most thrilling ride at WDW is (drum roll please...)
1. Mission Space. Ever since the "problem" a few years back, I've been too scared to ever ride it again. It was a really neat ride though when I rode it the first time...never experienced anything like true "weightlessness" before. WOW!

But I still get so worked up and nervous walking through the queue to ToT though. I love it but I HATE it!:confused:

RnRC and EE are super fun and thrilling. Must do's!

I have to say Summit Plummet.


It's the only ride I almost chickened out of as an adult. Incredible rush!

Good one! I didn't even think about it until I read this post. I was thinking Tower of Terror, but Summit Plummet may just be the most thrilling. Its the tallest water slide I have ever been on. Also being a water slide it has no restraints, making it pretty thrilling when you get a little airborne.

The most thrilling to me is the launch at RNRC.
The first time I experienced it, I thought is was almost too much. I still need to brace myself for the launch, it literally takes my breath away.


Other than that, WDW is not big on 'thrill' thrills. ToT is awesome, but relaxing. Thunder Mountain is a kiddie coaster, EE a family coaster, SM a genius but slightly tame coaster.

The Waterslides in the water parks might be the most thrilling attractions at Disney.

OK, now you've got me nervous. I rode RNRC for the first time on our last trip, and I actually liked it because there were no big drops. I'm OK with speed and darkness. Space Mtn was closed for renovations so I didn't ride it. But we are going back in March, and DH has convinced me that I can handle it because there are no big drops (he said that I would NOT like EE because there are a few big drops, and I definitely will not ride ToT). But now you're talking about "aggression" and "airtime" and "biggest drop" at the end, and I'm worried it will be too much for me. Is it really more thrilling than RNRC? What does everyone else here think?:shrug:
I think you can handle SM. Space is about rough turns, short quick drops. R'n'RC is much faster, more accelerations.

I hate to have to say this, but there is nothing "true" about the "weightlessness" on Mission Space. If there was you would float in the air above your seat, like on Tower of Terror or on some roller-coasters with "airtime". If you've been on Tower of Terror and experienced floating up out of your seat, that's true weightlessness! The "weightlessness" on the more "intense" version of Mission Space (aka "orange" version) is an illusion created by subjecting you to intense positive g-forces for a sustained duration (making you feel heavier than your normal body weight), and then suddenly removing those g's.

I'm an airtime junkie and am always looking for ways to get (and enhance) airtime. And unfortunately, I didn't get any on Mission Space, even the "orange" version.

Thunder Mountain is a kiddie coaster

The wicked pops of airtime I get on BTMRR (at least 3 in the front seat and 1 or 2 in the back; mostly on the second segment of the ride between lifts #2 and #3) would have to (respectfully) disagree! As would the nice laterals that slide me across the seat and slam me into the sides of the car!

Big Thunder is not only my second favorite coaster at WDW - it's also my second favorite STEEL coaster in all of Florida, behind only Space Mountain! (and also behind the woodies Gwazi and Dania Beach Hurricane, in my overall Florida rankings)
