Im headed down for a weekend at Daytona Beach, and was planning on takin a short trip to Orlando. Which Disney park, other than the Magic Kingdom, would be the best to visit?

For thrill rides, MGM Studios. Epcot (IMO) is very boring (only got one thrill ride) and about half the park is educational. Animal Kingdom is the only one I haven't been to. I know it's got a set of wild mouse coasters, and it seems like the theme there is something similar to what you'd do at a zoo. If you really like roller coasters, perhaps you should consider visiting Islands of Adventure instead. But if it has to be disney (and it can't be the Magic Kingdom) I would go with MGM Studios.

Thanks- I was probably gonnna go to MGM for that reason (I want rides!), but Im also reconsidering my plan and looking at maybe going to SeaWorld instead. Not sure though and its gonna be a tough decision... too bad Im only down there for 2 days!

Yeah MGM does have more rides. Epcot does, however, have Test Track...

Go to MGM because of Tower of Terror. It's an unbelievable ride.

The interesting thing about tower of terror, is that they let you drop a random number of times, so no two rides are the same, on one ride you may drop 5 times, on other rides you may only drop twice. It's computer is programmed to let it drop a random number of times. And it also is not just up and back down. You start to go up and they fill you in on the story of the haunted hotel, with special effects, so the themeing is really good as well.
As for epcot, yes test track is very good, but when I visit the mall of america, the only ride I really like is the log ride, and after going on it over and over again, it gets boring and I want to do something else, so if you go to epcot, test track is the only good thing. As for MGM, you've got Tower of Terror, Star Tours, Rock n' Roller Coaster, and probably more.
BTW, sea world has one good roller coaster (a floorless one) and that's about it.

Im not sure still, but since Im goin to SFMM later this month, a floorless isnt worth the trip to Sea World- Im gonna ride Scream! so I dont need to go to the park just to ride Kraken, but I may wanna go for the animals. But its still probably gonna be MGM, Se World was just an option.
