It's my favorite time of the month! You guessed it! It's KILL REFURB MARRY time with Mouse on the Mind and This Happy Place Blog!
If you aren't familiar with the rules, every month they choose a category that relates to Walt Disney World. You then have to choose within that category what you would kill, refurb, and marry. This month's category is Thrill Rides.
I really had to think this one through especially for marry. There are so many that I just plain LOVE! I knew my kill instantly and refurb....well....there are some obvious choices there as well. Let me know if you disagree or agree with my choices!

KILL: DINOSAUR
I consider this thrilling. I know that some of you don't.
Ok, so maybe it is not quite as "thrilling" as say, Tower of Terror. But my definition of thrilling in this category actually means TERRIFYING!!!!!
Let's explain. I have actually only experienced this ride with my eyes open once. That was also the last and only time I will ever ride this ride with my eyes open. I cannot express the fear, the horror, the turmoil I experienced whilst having a huge dinosaur pop out at me from complete darkness and then chase my ride vehicle for what felt like miles. I have experienced this attraction several times since that fateful day and mainly because I was dragged onto it. Each and every time since then I have put my head down, closed my eyes and was none the wiser as to what was happening around me.
I am killing this ride because I never want to go through this agony again.
REFURB: SPACE MOUNTAIN

REFURB: SPACE MOUNTAIN
I love Space Mountain...but let's face it. I'm not 18 anymore. Heck, I'm not even 25. This shit kills my back. I would love to ride it repeatedly because that is how much fun it really is but sometimes I find myself not riding it all because it is SO rough. Also, is it just me or is it extremely difficult to sit down in those ride vehicles. I mean, I am a tall girl I suppose (5'9") but I am mid weight and sometimes I feel like fat guy in a little coat when I try to get in the ride vehicle. My husband is 6'6" - he has never ridden but I feel bad for him if he ever decides to. My choice for refurb would only be to try and make the track feel a bit smoother and to possibly allow people who like to eat to be able to sit down. But then again...I suppose that adds to the thrill.
MARRY: EXPEDITION EVEREST
MARRY: EXPEDITION EVEREST
I wanted to say Splash Mountain because I love it so. But then again, I suppose it is not an extremely thrilling ride. So my next love and super thrill ride is Expedition Everest. This thing is so much fun. I slightly wanted to yell refurb (FIX THE YETI!!!) but even without the yeti, it is a remarkably smooth roller coaster. I love so much about it - the theming, the queue, the broken track at the top only to come plummeting down backwards. I even love the broken yeti when I can get a glimpse of him. I really feel that the smoothness of the ride allows so many more guests of all ages to be able to experience it without coming out feeling like they got kicked in the back. Expedition Everest wins and I am sorry Dinosaur but YOU LOSE!
