Rapids

Best attractions and rides at Disney Animal Kingdom? What are some of the best must-see attractions at Animal Kingdom that would be fun and/or interesting for people in their late 20s? I want to know what attractions are for little kids that can be skipped and which ones we should definitely see? Obviously we're going on the Mount Everest rollercoaster because I heard its fantastic. What is it like? The Primeval Whirl, Kali River Rapids, Triceratop Spin and the Dinosaur ride we're planning on seeing right away. Are those good choices? What animals are in the petting zoo area? Sorry for so many questions. Thanks in advance for any advice.

what are you favorite rides in disney world? what are your favorite rides.or attractions? mine are: Magic Kingdom: (in no specific order) Splash mt Haunted mansion Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin Mickeys Philarmagic Laugh Floor Epcot: Test Track Soarin Hollywood Studios: Indiana Jones Lights motors action Fantasmic Toy story mania Animal Kingdom Its tough to be a bug kali river rapids Kilimanjaro safari primeval whirl

Cool pre-shows at Disney World? Here's the scoop: my wife will be 4 1/2 months pregnant when we visit Disney World late next month with our 2 boys, ages 10 and 9. I know these attractions have advisements against expectant mothers riding that I've copied from another question: Disney's Animal Kingdom Park: DINOSAUR Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain Kali River Rapids Kilimanjaro Safaris Primeval Whirl Disney - MGM Studios: Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith Star Tours Twilight Zone Tower of Terror EPCOT: Body Wars Mission: SPACE Test Track Magic Kingdom: Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Space Mountain Splash Mountain Tomorrowland Indy Speedway My question is which of these attractions have pre-shows or sites that are worth seeing while waiting in line for the main attraction? I remember Tower of Terror has a really cool "lobby" with a movie explaining the story behind the ride. Are there any others like that?

At Walt Disney World,how long do I have to wait in line for popular attractions? At Tokyo Disney Resort(TDR),we usually have to wait in line for 1 to 2 hours for popular attractions like Buzz Lightyear,Winnie the Poo,Space Mountain etc without a fastpass. I heard that WDW is less crowded than TDR in Japan. My family is going to WDW in Octber of the next year. We want to enjoy Expedition Everest,Finding Nemo,Dinosaur,Kali River Rapids,Soarin,Test Track,RR Coaster etc because TDR does not have them. And my daughter wants to enjoy Stitch's Great Escape because she love Stitch most among all characters. Please teach me how to reduce the waiting time.

Do you think Animal Kingdom is worth it? I have been to Animal Kingdom twice since it opened in '98. The first time was in August '03 with my husband (his first time to Disney, ever), my sister and my mom. We gave everything a shot since we had never done the park before. We were all sorely disappointed. We saw 0 animals on the Kilamanjaro Safari... and we went early in the day because we figured as it got hotter the animals would become inactive. The "poacher" story line and fake characters were just lame. Rafiki's Planet Watch can be experienced at our local Nature Center. We waited in line for 2-3 hours for the Kali River Rapids. The FastPasses were out, so we figured it must be worth it. NOT! We found it to be slow moving, and didn't get a drop of water on us despite all of the warnings. The highlight of AK was It's Tough to be a Bug, Dinosaur and the Primeval Whirl. Our second, and most recent, trip was in May '07 when it was just me and my husband. We headed to the park primarily so he could do Expedition: Everest. He enjoyed it, but after giving some of the other attractions a 2nd chance, he said he didn't like it enough to come back to Animal Kingdom in the future just for that. Again It's Tough to be a Bug, Dinosaur and the Primeval Whirl were the main attractions for us. We don't have kids, so we did not go through Camp Minnie-Mickey. And we are not going back to AK just for that. I am aware there are shows we can catch, but I am not going to wait around all day to catch a performance of Nemo- The Musical when I can be spending my time at another park doing something. What is it that makes you like (or dislike) it so much? Is it possible we had two bad experiences and it really is great? When we went in Aug of course it was packed, the lines were forever, and it was hot. When we went in May it was perfect. We were able to do the rides so many times without having to wait in line we were actually kind of bored... I'm used to having to wait, at least a little while. I bet we went on Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Space and Thunder Mountain about 5 times each... because there were no lines anywhere.

why does disney have such small height restrictions? I've noticed that Disney has it better when it comes to height restrictions. To prove my point, I'll point out similar attractions from Disney and Universal that have height limit. Example 1: TOT: 40", but could easily rise to 44" or even 48". Dr. Doom; 52". Example 2: Kali River Rapids; which has a 30 foot drop gets 38". Popeye and Bluto; 42" but the biggest drop is probably 18-22 ft. Example 3: Expedition Everest is 44" but goes down a backwards drop 80 ft in the dark. Revenge of the Mummy; 48" but the biggest drop is 25 ft; it's just the launch that makes the drops big. Example 4: RNRC; 48" but it goes 60 mph in launch and in the dark and upside down 3 times. Hulk launches at 40 mph and goes upside down only 4 times more but gets a 54" height limit. Example 5: Buzz Lightyear shoot em' up gets no height limit. MIB which is quite similar and only has a few spins and a "scary" ending gets a 42". The only Universal ride I'd argue needs a bigger height limit is Dudley Do Right which deserves a 52" height limit. Also if Universal made a ride like Test Track; it would get 46". And Mission: Space... totally 51". Are height limits biased to Disney? You decide.

What are your favorite rides at these theme parks and why? Theme Parks: 4 parks of Disney Universal studios and Island of Adv. Bush Gardens Mine are Magic King.- Pirates of Caribbean Why - Gives me a nostalgic feeling every time I think about the past times I've went on it. Epcot - Spaceship Earth. Why - memories of always going to that ride first when entering Epcot. MGM - Tie between Tower of terror and Great Movie Ride Why - One of two disney parks I been to only once and those were the rides I enjoyed most. Animal kingdom - None, Why - went there on school field trip, didn't get to see what I wanted Universal - None; Why - the only park I haven't been to oddly enough Island of adventures - None; Why - Too many to choose/None I really wanted to go and ride again Bush Gardens - Congo River Rapid - Why - It was the most fun I had on a ride at Bush Gardens, and I remember when I was younger my uncle convinced the worker to let me go again so I went twice in a row I wrote this question because i been watching too many POV videos of attractions from various theme parks and just wanted to post this question.
