k bit out of touch, seeing as my last visit was about 3 yrs ago

- but love WDW sooo much!
what do you feel is the biggest, fastest rides in WDW

- i cant call them rollercoasters as such because Disney makes them a whole lot more than just a rollercoster

(but that type of ride)
thanx !!

biggest, fastest?
Probably Rock'n'RollerCoaster... You go from Zero-to-OHMYHOLYSMOKES in like, nanoseconds.

Yeah... hey, I just realized epcot is the only park that doesn't have a coaster.
Yeah, I would still call them roller coasters. I would say space mountain is awesome, RnR is thrilling, Primeval whirl is just plain fun.

Primeval Whirl is one of my all time favorites.. It's just a darn good time!
Rock N RollerCoaster is about the coolest coaster around (And I live near Cedar Point).

Wow, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Expedition Everest. No loops but it goes backwards and it's a fun ride.
Also, like previous people have mentioned Rock N Rollercoaster.

God, please don't say that too loud, before Siemens guts SSE for one.
Besides, Test Track is sort of like a roller coaster.....sort of.

You know what might be cool. Build a really large roller coaster that ducks and weaves around, over, and through the nations around the pavilion at Epcot. It would sort of be like a Small World Extreme!

Lol, don't forget the squirrel population. They should get a roller coaster too, or at least a parade.
My favorite coaster is Rockin Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith(gotta have correct names). That one is the funnest for me, unless I'm in the front row of Everest.
It's strange how people ask me where the roller coaster is. So I ask them if they remember where ToT is, and they usually do- and i just tell them, "it's right across the street from it". Weird.

wicked thanks for the comments - im so glad that Aerosmith signed up for the Rockin Roller Coaster - there were rumours that Hanson would be the band!!!
nice guys, but Aerosmith is just plain better!! 8)
- I see Epcot as the more techy park and luv to see all the technology there - so rides like test track fit in.
- I would say Disney have the balance of rides quite well, because if you want the massive roller coasters there in competition with the likes of Busch Gardens and 6Flags

Im form the UK, so sorry if there like 100 of miles away

)
luv to see a ride about Tinkerbell in Magic Kigdom where you follow a projection of her or something and you do the loops and twists and turns - hehe could be a Peter Pan Adventure, where you just miss Hook and whizz past the crocodiel
i shall stop as this is a very long post and bit off the subject

RNR is a heck of a lot of fun and it's got 3 inversionas, but Expedition Everest is the best coaster IMHO at Disney - the theming and sheer enormity of it. The backward section is very thrilling. It's the top on my list and just dethroned RNR.

When my brother and I road Primeval Whirl for the first time together (we were 23 and 21 at the time, both over 6'1") we got so hurt slamming into each other on the hairpin turns when the little car doesn't spin that we laughed hard enough to nearly pass out... but not like that good laughter (though we look back on it and laugh now) but more like "holy crap this can't possibly be considered fun by anyone" ironic sort of laugh.
I believe my little bro's comment afterwards was "I need an old priest and a young priest."
Haw.

There's also "Cyber Space Mountain" at Disney Quest

I forgot about that if you want to count it. You can "design" your own coaster with premade segments and then ride it in an inverting simulator. Think Star Tours that actually can go upsidedown and spin on a sideways axis.
