Rank the 9 roller coasters at Walt Disney World by most intense to least intense. Which ride is the most intense? Explain. Discuss.

I vote for RNRC as it is the only one with inversions. I think TRON is technically faster, but it is much smoother with no inversions, so I think RNRC is more intense. My rank:

1: RNRC
2: Expedition Everest
3: GoTG: Cosmic Rewind
4: TRON
5: Space Mountain
6: Slinky Dog
7: Big Thunder
8: 7DMT
9: Barnstormer

We have the same order @BrianL ... I thought having Slinky above Big Thunder would be controversial but looks like we agree. That first left turn always makes me feel like I'm going to fall out

I agree with almost all of your sequencing except I feel that Big Thunder would be #6 and Slinky Dog would be #7. I agree with #1 and #2 but EE would be very close due to the reverse part. I hate reverse coasters almost as much as inversions.

Slinky feels a little faster, with the magnetic launches pinning you back. That said BTMRR is a bit rougher by virtue of it's age. Neither is particularly "intense" but I give the edge to SDD.

RNRC and Everest are undoubtedly the two top choices. I voted for Everest over RNRC since I think the backwards part leads to some really intense sensations. But RNRC is the only one that goes upside down, and it's intense too.

And even though it's not a coaster, the other ride at WDW that could rival these for intensity is Mission Space Orange.

I would put GotG and EE above RnRC. Only because the motion gets me more than the inversions.

Motion sickness =/= intensity

Star Tours causes the most motion sickness for my group, but in no way would I say Star Tours (or your average car ride ) is more intense than RnR or EE.

Most G's I'd give to Everest.
Trigger motion sickness the most (IMHO), I'd have to give to GotG
Intense I'd say RnRC as it's fast through out the ride and it has inversions.
