Walt Disney World for Teens
Can They Really Have Fun?
By Cara Goldsbury
At the Magic Kingdom you'll find all the old nostalgic favorites like Space Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean. And don't forget to head straight to Splash Mountain, an unforgettable ride that ends in a plunge over a five-story waterfall! Epcot's main attractions for fun-loving teens are Mission Space, a hair-raising rocket into space, and Test Track where you'll speed through hairpin turns and then barrel outside onto a high-speed banking loop at over 60 mph. At Disney-MGM Studios you'll be floored by Rock 'N' Roller Coaster and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, both a thrill a minute. Then there's the Animal Kingdom where Expedition Everest – a high-altitude, high-speed train adventure – awaits, along with trips around the African savanna at Kilimanjaro Safaris and going back in time 65 million years at Dinosaur are quite the adventure.
Super thrill seekers should plan a day at Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure where attractions like the Incredible Hulk Coaster, Dueling Dragons and The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman will leave your heart pounding.
So do you still think Disney is just for kids? I bet you can't wait to pack your bags. And don't forget to thank your parents on your return home for taking you to one of the most exciting places on the planet.
