    As far as mountains go, I love Spash and Everest. Thunder Mountain is just ok for me, and I'm not a fan of Space Mountain. Although that may change if it gets the same treatment as Disneyland's.

    Other thrill rides I absolutely love are Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror. ToT is my favorite ride at Disney World.

    I love them! I don't think they need to have too many thrill type rides, but what they do have are great!

    I love them all. Although I am a serious wild-thrill junkie and think most of them are pretty mild.

    I love them but I would also agree that they are all pretty mild. Disney needs a park with more crazy thrill rides.

    TOT is our favorite as well. Themeing is what makes the Disney rides better than most anywhere else.

    I agree Disney has a terrific mix of thrill rides and tame rides. I love the thrill but can only take so much in a day, especially on the DDP.

    I love disney rides...and I love thrill rides...but there really aren't very many true thrill rides at the four parks...maybe four in total (RnR, ToT, EE, Dinosaur...and Splash Mountain maybe). To me there is no fear factor in TT, MissionSpace (thou it is somewhat nauseating) or even the other mountains (BTM and SpcM).

    However, my family and I greatly prefer even the milder version thrill rides of disney because of the attention to detail in the rides story lines....and when all we really want is to have is a serious scare, then we have been known to take an occasional journey outside the confines of the Mouse (for example earlier tis year we went to Busch Gardens Europe in Va which has some truly over-the top thrill rides...ie. the Griffon and Apollos Chariot). But to us those are one trip parks...once you've done them, you've done them and there is no magic to bring you back again.
    There's a great big beautiful tomorrow

    I ride all the mountains while there. It's not super fast coasters with jaw dropping speeds but something the whole family can enjoy (when get to a certain age). Theming is the whole idea behind them.
