But they do need one extremly fast, scary ride that will thrill adults just one ride that magic mountain and knotts has.

It will be interesting to see what carsland brings with the new E ticket ride... But I am guessing it will still be kid friendly since the point of Disneyland from the very first day was to be a park where families could go to be together...If I want to watch my older kids on rides while my younger kids were too small I could hang out at my local amusement park... Ohh wait I did that for years... Disneyland is the place where we can all go together...Most kids can ride everything either with an adult or alone by the time they are between 5 and 7.

Originally Posted By tasha23 i have to say that TT and screaming are an improvment and even the kiddie rides toy story and buzz light year are very entertaining.

Originally Posted By pitapan16 They make all the rides there for everyone so a five year old and an adult can go on the same coaster.

I always thought that would be sooo cool if Disney made atleast one frickin monster ride/coaster that was a beast, but still had the themeing elements and quality they are known for. Well, the Tower of Terror and Splash are about the closest and best thing to that as it gets, and I am pretty much satisfied with that now. I recently went to Magio Mountain to get my thrill ride fix and much to my suprise, after rideing EVERY coaster in that park multiple times(a total of about 30 coasters), I found that I get more of a thrill/rush on Splash Mountain beleive it or not. For some reason or another, I don't get a loose your stomach feel on coaster drops anymore. I guess what I'm getting at is I no longer desire as much for Disney to build the kind of Grizzly coasters I once sought after for Disney parks. Expedition Everest, Tower, Splash, Indy are the kind of thrill levels I've really enjoyed more than anything probably. That being said, I am not apposed to Disney utilizing what some would consider "extreme" types of coasters like flying coasters/exc to incorporate into a wonderfully themed to the max experience.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip I think Expedition Everest at WDW is a family friendly ride that still "knocks your socks off". The two are not mutually exclusive.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip Well, what can I say? I've seen MANY young children go on EE. It is thrilling, but it is not scary, is not all in the dark and is not excessively loud... all things that tend to scare young kids.

Disney should stick with what they do best. There are thrill rides all over the country, including at malls, hotels, etc. Disney's charm is in it's theming and ambiance. No one can touch them in that area, and there are plenty of rides with that charm, and enough of a thrill that they will always attract all ages. I love thrill rides too, but I would hate Disney to feel cheapened by adding a ride that had the thrill, but didn't fit in with the rest of the park.

Originally Posted By dllovinrn I agree with what almost everyone else has said- I love DL the way it is & think there are plenty of other places for "thrill" rides. To me, Dl is about the Magic you can't find anywhere else. (and for me, that includes other Disney parks, to a certain exent). What makes Space Mountain in DL paris "tricked out"? Obviously I have never been there!
