Disney Park(s) for 16 year old

Hello
Just wonder which Disney Park(s) our 16 year old son would enjoy most?

That's hard to predict -- they all have something to offer every age range. Depends on what he likes to do and see. I'd guess Blizzard Beach, if you're including everything. Next maybe MGM for ToT and RnRC, if he likes thrill rides (or is he into girl watching!?!?!?!). Do you need to prioritize based on your length of stay?

I would guess MGM for Rockin Rollercoaster and Tower of Terror. He will probably like Lights, Motors, Action too.

Does he like animals? He may like Animal Kingdom. I'm sure he'll like Expedition everest. He would probably like Test Track and Mission Space in Epcot too.

All of the parks have attractions that a 16 yr old would enjoy.
If you can't make it to all of them, it depends on what he's interested in.
Maybe you could have him look through some of the guidebooks and decide what sounds the most interesting.

my DSs like MGM, followed by AK then MK and Epcot is their least favorite. My middle DS is 15 and didn't really want to go this trip, but when we got the dining plan, that really perked him up. He helped pick the resturants and he enjoyed that. This was the first time we had been to Disney Quest and I thought that was something he would enjoy, but he said he really didn't like it.

If you want to know their favorite park in Orlando, it would be the Univeral parks. They have more of the thrill rides boy that age like.

My DSS is 16, and liked the thrill rides. Rockn'Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror, etc. I'm not a big thrill ride fan (I'm 20) and I really liked POTC, Splash Mountain and the likes. Make sure he rides Everest though! Roller coasters scare the crap out of me, but I loved Everest!
Before we went on out trip, my mom hauled out the Disney DVD's and books, and got myself, DSS and DB to pick our three top choices for each park. It helped mom figure out what we were interested in and it also helped with scheduling.
