backlot tour

[oots]

we were in wdw for jersey week with three teenagers-17, 16 & 14. they have been on most coasters at six flags so the thrill factor at wdw is a little low in their eyes-they did have fun-but the best part of the trip for me was to see my 16 year old son duck for cover as a bomb exploded in the water in front of him at the backlot tour-the next bomb went off and my 14 yr old daughter did the same thing-it was great to see the big smiles and laughter at being caught off guard. we ended up skipping the trolley part of the tour as we waited for 20 minutes and were told that catastrophe canyon was down-so they let us off to use our fastpasses on rockin roller-any other older teenager experiences?

Backlot always scares me during the little show in the beginning. They actually asked me to be one of the performers...yeah right!! I get scared enough just watching the effects, but being part of them..haha. In your dreams! hehe

I'm 15 yrs old, and I love coasters too. I do get a kick out of the calmer rides too, but WDW is definietly a little low on the thrill factor, as you said. Although, I'm so pumped up for the new coaster coming to AK!! That'll definietly make WDW more interesting. Hehe.

ToT is one of my favorities, along with RnRC. Space Mt is another thriller, along with Splash Mt at MK. Big Thunder Mt is a smaller coaster, but it does throw you out of your seat during some drops. I also love Primeval Whirl, its a spinny coaster at AK. It always makes me laugh, because it spins wildly around the tight corners and it catches you off guard. Test Track at Epcot is great. It's the fastest ride in WDW. Definitely a lot of fun!

I'm glad you had fun!
