You can get on the carousel or you can ride Rolling Thunder!
I'll go for Soarin' at Epcot over the inverted roller coasters at Universal any day. But that's just me.
Probably my favorite ride anywhere, Beast! Just road it again this past summer (my third time between Florida and California versions - they are the same both places), and I think it's my favorite. Almost anyone can ride it.
A few years ago before they created a low intensity version of Mission to Mars. I was waiting on a long line, when suddenly the line stopped for about 20 minutes. Then they wheeled a person out on a stretcher. That was enough for me. I bailed.
A few people have died on that ride, usually due to underlying health issues, so they created a dumbed down version of it.
You guys have got to stay local. What is wrong with the great Coney Island Cyclone. One of the best in the world
