Need advice for trip with teen daughters

[nudelmark]

Taking my daughter and some friends to DW and am looking for fun things specific to teens(14 yrs). We haven't been since the kids were much younger and princess dressup probably aint gonna cut it this trip.

Any and all suggestions welcome.

At that age my kids were more into the "thrill" rides. Their favorites were:

MK- Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, & Splash Mountain. They were ok with Pirates of the Carribean, the Haunted Mansion, Buzz Lightyear and Alien (which is now Stitch - they don't like it anymore).

MGM - Tower of Terror, Rockin' Roller Coaster and Back Lot Tour

Epcot - Test Track

Animal Kingdom - Dinasour, River Rapid ride.

While they did do the other rides and we saw all of the shows/fireworks, they really weren't "into" it anymore. We'd gone almost every year since they were little. Last year they revolted! We ended up at US/IOA, Busch Gardens, Seaworld and Wet n' Wild which were more to their liking. They love thrill rides and roller coasters. We did sneak over to MK for one night for the Pirates and Princesses party and they did have fun (dd-16, ds-14) but said they were glad it was just for one night.

If this is their first time there they will just be excited to be there and love everything. I was in my early 20's before I went for the first time and it was just "magical".

i would suggest a day at universal studios and islands of adventure that really breaks it up for me (23) and my boyfriend (23) they have much bigger roller coaster rides and its not so child orientated. disney quest would also be a good place for them at downtown disney its full of stuff for them to do

I made an appt. & my DD got a manicure on her 13th b-day at the salon at our resort (BCV).

I would suggest the water parks, Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon, and Disney Quest. Cirque du Soleil tickets would be a nice treat (although $$); and take a taxi if you're not renting a car to the Premium Outlet stores in Kissimmee for a day of shopping. And, of course, all the thrill rides.
