I've only been to Florida twice: when I was 9 in 2002 and October 2010 when I was 17 :)

When I was a kid: Snow White and Pinocchio (at Paris), therefore after that I refuse to go on those dark rides. The only dark ride I like is Peter Pan! But that's because it's not as intense a film as Snow White is...I only watched the film once, the Queen scared me so much!

I think I went on Dinosaur in 2002, but I must have blocked it from my memory. I remember crying. Alot. So it can't have been good. :cry: Because of that, I didn't go on it in October ;)

October: It's Tough To Be A Bug. Never again. I don't like 3D films or attractions much anyway, but the added 4D just made it an awful experience- and yes, I know I'm practically an adult but still. It creeped me out. I took off my glasses halfway through and hugged my knees to my chest just in case something happened to the floor. What I wasn't prepared for was being poked from the back of the seat! I screamed so loud. What made it worse was that next to me was my 7 year old sister, who was apprehensive about the ride in the first place. My mum was holding her hand and telling her it wasn't scary, and I just ruined it for her! Haha. Because of that experience, she refuses to watch a 3D film...oops.

On a site note: Haunted Mansion still creeps me out. I know it's not supposed to be completely scary, more a funny type of scary. But still, only being allowed to see certain parts, and just the atmosphere of the whole ride makes my hands start sweating! In October, my Mum begged me to go on it with her, and I was a dutiful daughter for once. It's quite sad, but I actually held her hand during the whole thing! She got quite annoyed with me, and told me not to be a baby but didn't listen and avoided the parts I know I don't like (the ceiling in the pre-show, and the hitchhiking ghosts) I'll ride it, but I won't enjoy it. I shiver uncontrollably when I exit the ride, just from the adrenaline rush!

I'm glad I never saw Alien Encounter. Sounds absolutely terrifying!

Believe it or not, the ride I was scared of the most was The Haunted Mansion. I didn't even open my eyes through the whole thing. What traumatized me more was when the CM came behind me and yelled BOO! in the stretching room.

I'm not easily frightened but i can say that the one that sticks out as the most frigtening first ride was Dinosaur. To this day, it's the only ride picture that I wish I would have purchased. My biggest regret of all with regards to Disney because I'll never get that reaction captured again.

...honorable mention to ToT which still to this day gets me very excited and anxious as I go to ride it. I was probably most scared to ride ToT before the ride, but Dinosaur certainly scared me the most while on the ride.

I remeber when I was 4 and being freaked out by the dancing ghosts in the HM. I don't know what it was about those ghosts but they terified me for years after.

ToT scared me as well. Roller coasters don't usually bother but I'm not a fan of the vertical drop. I hate it when my stomach feels like its in my chest. Not fun!!

My aspie is a dino lover so I thought it would be fun to take him on Dinosaur, scare him back to his space love which I was totally cool with LMAO j/k

Anywho, he was excited until we walked in. By the time we got in the vehicle, he was shivering and fussing and covering his ears(he's audio sensitive). When the ride started, he sat through it with his ears covered and deer/headlight eyes. Well, the ride broke down. lol. So we sat in the dark with the soundtrack still playing. They turned the lights on. He calmed down a bit but his heartrate stayed up. They tried to reboot the ride and it failed so we had to be walked off. Well, since he's also a wheelchair user, we had to wait even longer with just us, some CMs, and dino robots. He cooled off about it once he could see how it worked.

When it was time to go back, he was asleep. Now he says he wants to ride the next time we go. I'm sure he'll still be shaken in his boots ;) lol

i agree with dinosaur. never rode it before, but when the T rex appears out the darkness, that scared me. my ride picture was hilarious. even the kids infront of me weren't scared, there was just me on the back row, clinging to my husband, looking like :O
