All 7 of those rides are wonderfully themed! And, looking at WDW overall, the theming is the best in the world. Bar none. Just look at Bug's Life (tree of life), Star Tours (AMAZING outside and in), Spaceship Earth (nuff said), The American Adventure, and the list goes on and on. It's fair to say, though, that most of the attractions in the Magic Kingdom pale in comparison to their counterparts in other Disneyland's around the world (except crappy Hong Kong, of course...which has pretty much nothing...but that nothing is nicely themed ). ToT can be scary to look at, but the actual ride itself is not too rough really. If you can ride Splash Mountain or Space Mountain, it's pretty much on par.
Originally Posted By xrayvision >>there are no scary rides at Disney<< TOT's drops are pretty exciting, especially with the random drop profiles. But, if you don't like the dropping sensation, the drop sequence doesn't last very long. RnRC's launch and loops, and Mission Spaces G-forces, are more intense than TOT's drops. And speaking of Disney scary rides - Maliboomer at DCA is probably the scariest Disney ride IMO as it can get your heart racing with it's intense launch, massive airtime and stomach turning drop. I love rollercoasters and drop towers, and I consider Maliboomer to be an pretty intense Six Flags/Knotts style ride experience.

Originally Posted By kennect Mr. X, I love what you said above...Splash Mountain really creeps me out worse than TOT does...I have no clue why but it does...In reality, to me, they are both on about the same level of thrill...Still I don't like the mountain at all...There is something about that last little bit where you approach the lift for the big fall that just doesn't agree with me...
Originally Posted By Mr X Yeah, Splash is pretty intense when you come down to it. I love everything about that attraction though.

Originally Posted By Mrs ElderP I have to say that I am very susesptible to the themeing in the queue (This being DL's queue, I've never been to WDW). I always have to talk my self though this part. You may find my mantra (muttered under the breath) very helpful: "This is only a ride, nobody dies, and I've done it before." "This is only a ride, nobody dies, and I've done it before" repeated as neccessary. It gets even worse durning the last little bit of "show" when you are in ride car thingy. Once the drops start I love it!! (Although I'm taking a 9 month hiatus--and will missing WDW version--due to the hitchhiker in my uterus.)
