Any rollercoaster riding teens?

[SereneOne]

We will be in WDW from the 8th to the 16th...maybe the 17th and our teen son (18 by the time of the trip) is the only rollercoaster/exciting rides person in our group--me, dad and his special needs preschooler sister. Like ToT, RnRC, SM, TRR, etc. Any teens out there that love the exciting rides that would not mind including him in on the fun?

A lot of those rides have single rider lines that really help you get through the line quicker! On TOT they often call out for a single rider to fill in the row, even tho they don't officially have a single rider line,I have cut several minutes of waiting on that ride almost every time I've ridden. The single rider line at TT moves you through a lot quicker.

Besides at Disney with the thousands of people riding you are truly never alone.

That is so true, at Disney you are never alone.

I just feel badly cause we will mainly do things with the preschooler...passports, pressed pennies, the mask, autographs, BBB and character meets and kid rides. We did book Coral Reef, SciFi and Le Cellier for him, I offered to pay for DQ....Firework Cruise...surf lessons, etc. He did not want to spend the money. Maybe I should just let him figure it out for himself. But I thought it would be cool for him to meet some DISers he could also hang out with here and there while on vacation. And no, I can not afford to pay for a friend to go with us.

Well good luck! You may want to pop over to the teen board and see if they have any suggestions. I do know that whenever my teen is alone somewhere she seems to "find" someone to talk to almost all the time. At the shore this summer within 15 minutes of going into the water I see her with a group of 3 other teens and they talked and hung out for 2 hours. He may also just enjoy being with his family and just splitting up to go on the big rides. Could one parent if there are 2 go on some of the rides with him, you know split up for an hour or two? That's what we used to do when my youngest wasn't tall enough.
