When my youngest Princess was 6, Millennium Force (310', 96 mph) at CP was her favorite ride.Hey now! Some little girls were riding some pretty big coasters, even when they were still very young!
BTW, she (now 14) rode Falcon's Fury with me last week. After the 3rd ride she declared it boring.

Now, if you want a kick in the pants here in Central FL, I just rode Falcon's Fury (drop tower) a couple of times last week. Oh my, that's a ride!

That's fantastic. Millennium Force is probably still my favorite coaster, although I wasn't little when it opened lol. I still have a soft spot for Magnum, too. It opened when I was 12, and I instantly fell in love.
Speaking of boring, I remember the first time I rode Space Mountain. I was so excited, I was finally riding the famous Space Mountain...and I was never so bored on a coaster in my life lol. I love it and appreciate it now, but it was such a letdown back then.

What makes Falcon's Fury so intense is they roll you over 90° so you are face down with nothing below you. You are literally laying on the restraints.

You got me.
I love rides, coasters, some extreme ones, but two of my favorite all time rides are the TTA (or WEDWay Peoplemover) and the Monorail. For me, a trip is incomplete without riding those two transport systems. Likely because I have such fond memories of my younger years and visiting with my parents...my mom did not do many rides, but she also enjoyed them (dad liked 'em, but liked Space Mountain, too!).
Ok, before I get in trouble for being OT, I have to say that for the first time in forever, I'm excited about what's coming to WDW, and I'm excited enough I'm actually considering DVC. Seems like all of the right things have come together to convince the BoD to spend some money (and in turn, create a massive money-printing machine). I'm not going to armchair imagineer anything, I'm going to enjoy watching here for the occasional detail to make it through, and love every minute of thinking how much fun it'll be seeing it all come together

I've done probably the two tallest rides in the world, and that makes me nervous.What makes Falcon's Fury so intense is they roll you over 90° so you are face down with nothing below you. You are literally laying on the restraints.

Interesting. I never realized that part bothered so many people, especially to the point of nearly blacking out. It's just "okay, going backwards now" to me. Although, I'm that person that can ride any roller coaster, but I even look at a spinning teacup and.
Oh now that I hear you! It started when I was in my early 20's - ever since then - if it spins, I skip it. Just can't do it. Hate it. Makes my stomach churn. I did a Tilt A Whirl ten years ago and I thought I was gonna die. I went to a regional park awhile back with my friends and they laughed at me because I won't do a lot of the "kiddie" rides because of it but I'll jump on anything big. They all get squeamish about water rides with drops, etc. - but I love them. Even one as steep as Jurassic Park - all over that, love it. But as you said - teacups? I don't think so haha.
(When I went to Disneyland, I just had to do Roger Rabbit as a massive dark ride fan, and thank goodness I was riding with a massage therapist who has extremely strong arm muscles so we could keep it from spinning so I could actually enjoy it haha.)
But roller coasters, most thrill rides - do nothing like that to me. But stick me on a carnie ride, and I'm done for! Interestingly, M:S doesn't really bother me though. Something about Everest, though...my niece loves it, and because of her complications in loading on the ride they have often allowed us to stay on multiple times (it saves everyone time, because it takes us a good couple of minutes to get her on and then off) I've done it twice in a row before - and I will for her - but if I went a third time, I'd be down for an hour after, LOL.

Haha! Roger Rabbit doesn't bother me for some reason, I actually really enjoy it (may it soon RIP
). M:S doesn't make me sick, but I do get a little claustrophobic and usually have a headache by the end. Those are the exceptions however, most spinning rides do not agree with me.

Yeah after Roger Rabbit I realized it wouldn't have been so bad - the spinning on it's own isn't that fast - but it would have killed me if my friend had used their muscles to make it spin even faster (their initial inclination haha until I froze and turned white LOL).
And I agree about M:S - I almost said that. It doesn't bother my tummy, but being stuck in a coffin with 4 other people that even if the thing completely stuck I had no ability to crawl out on my own...as someone that doesn't normally have claustrophobia, that's as close as I come, haha. So I haven't done it in many years. I believe someone came and explained on this board at one point that it was pretty much impossible to get stuck in it, but I was like...um...at least on a coaster or other ride I could somehow get myself out, but not totally sealed like that.
It's why I gave up my dreams of going up to the space station.

I always thought it was the subject matter that made Body Wars more of a puke machine then Star Tours. Motion sickness+queaziness from looking at people's insides=Problems keeping lunch down.It's like how Star Tours and Body Wars were the same exact ride system, but I could ride Star Tours all day but the motion in Body Wars just made me want to...well, I'm eating a slice of pizza right now so I don't want to describe that.

I used to think that as well, but - not to be graphic - I can say at least for me that if you slice your arm off and need help, I'm he guy to ask. Blood, etc. doesn't bother me at all (poo on the other hand, haha)...
I think the best explanation I heard was a combination of the more "water" type floaty movement and the fact that the ride just wasn't as sync'd as well to the video as Star Tours was.
I think that's why Star Tours 2.0 is even easier to ride than Star Tours 1.0, because the digital technology is so perfectly sync'd now that it doesn't give motion sickness.

That's me! I can ride coasters all day long but spin me in a tight circle over and over and I'm done.Interesting.

So there is no backwards corkscrew? It not I am sorry guys it just also felt like I was turning but upside down. Idk it is hard to explain. But again sorry for confusing every one. Funny story this is the second time I stated something wrong as fact.
I'll do more research next time.

Does anyone have Everest layouts though?

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Astro Orbiter is hands down, the best Disney spinner.Oh-kay...now that I've done my charity work for the day - moving on...
You got me.
Even better though, is up the road in Seuss Landing. One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish blows all others out of the water. Pun intended.

I am a coaster junkie. Never met one I didn't like. That being said, EE is the only one I cannot ride all day long. And yeah, it's the backwards portion that does me in.That's what's funny, I've never been on one of those mega-one-on-a-continent ones, but I have been on a lot of pretty decent ones. It's not that it scares me or anything, haha - it's the backwards thing. I've even been on fully backwards coasters that haven't bothered me, but the forward and then backward and then forward again just does something in my tummy LOL.
It's like how Star Tours and Body Wars were the same exact ride system, but I could ride Star Tours all day but the motion in Body Wars just made me want to...well, I'm eating a slice of pizza right now so I don't want to describe that.
Once, no prob. Twice, pushing my luck. Three times in a row, and I'm popping Gravol, sipping water and sitting in the shade while the kids get soaked on KRR.
Body Wars and Star Tours however, make me quite ill. Being the good sport that I am, I ride ST with the family, but do not don the 3-D glasses, do not open my eyes (not even to peek), and drop my head as close to my knees as the restraint will allow. Yeah, I'm a trooper.
