Never Again:
Stitch's Great Escape - I love Stitch, but why do an have to be forcibly restrained in the absolute pitch dark to experience this "ride" that doesn't go anywhere. Hate it, hate it, hate will never do it again.
Mission Space - I didn't even make it to the ride portion. I psyched myself up for the fact that the screen was going to be really close to my face and I could put on my big girl pants and handle it and know that I wasn't going to suffocate and the mouse would never do anything to hurt me. Then they dropped the chest harness. I tried to take a deep breath because I needed to cough and I was paralyzed in the seat. No freaking way I was staying in there. Thank God a cast member rescued me.
Space Mountain -

I'll never let them put me in the front seat of Space Mountain! Good lord I thought I was going to die......
On the rare instance that I suck it up and join my friends or family on this trip to anxiety hell, I will also not ride in the front. Nor will I ride directly behind my husband who is tall and mostly because he's long-waisted. When you go through the flashy tunnel parts, it looks like he's going to be decapitated and it freaks me out.
Dinosaur - I survived, but I won't say that I enjoyed the ride and I'll surely avoid it in the future.
Ellen's Energy Adventure - I'll only go if I need a nap and I don't feel like going back to the room...
Not Trying - Not No Way, Not No How:
Tower of Terror (as a claustrophobic, elevators are one of my worst nightmares. why oh why would you want to drop in a possessed elevator), Rock-n-Roller Coaster (after my mission space experience, I'm not anxious to do anything with an overhead restraint ever again), Expedition Everest (I was toying with trying this, but after looking at it in person, I think it's firmly on the no-go list).
I love going on Mission to Mars. I fully appreciate, however, that being locked in a small space and being spun can be quite unnerving for a lot of people. When I was last at Epcot, I watched as a kid insisted to his dad he had to do the full on ride and the dad pleading with the kid not to do it...guess who won? Slumped shoulders followed a very happy kid inside...!!
Space Mountain, I always have to sit in the last car cos I'm quite broad, so don't want to block anyone's view of oncoming stuff...however, I'm also quite tall so have to skooch down a little too.
Dinosaur is a ride full of quite violent jolts. I can see how people don't like it so much, but I'll ride it
Ellen's ride is possibly one ride I may not revisit so often unless it is updated. I know the general gist of the pre-ride video is all about how we use energy but it could use an update as it's looking a little dated now. (Actually all of Epcot is beginning to look a little dated...sorry!)
As for the others, the only one I haven't ridden is Tower of Terror but only cos I don't like being dropped from height...it's fine to strap me into a metal bathtub and hurl me through loops and upside down or in the dark or backward (as on Expedition Everest) or as a combo of all of the above, but dropping me from heights is a no-no - unless I'm with friends, in which case peer pressure usually overrides my self preservation instinct! haha!
