[Fun] Which rides were you scared of as a kid?

[Quarar44]

I was scared of almost everything in the park except the rides in Tomorrowland. I remember distinctly freaking out on: Tiki Room, Indiana Jones, Haunted Mansion, Pirates, Submarine Voyage, Snow White, Pinocchio, Mr. Toad, and Roger Rabbit. Basically when I went as a little boy it was strictly Tomorrowland. I think it's funny that they list Captain EO on the maps as "can be frightening for kids," because I think that was my favorite thing to do when I was little! . So what were you guys scared of?

You were scared a lot as a kid!

I didn't want any part of taking pics with characters. They freaked me out...

I was terrified of the Haunted Mansion. So much so that I thought every fancy building on Main Street was the mansion and would not go inside. Even as I got older I would close my eyes in certain parts of the ride where things jumped out at you.

I was scared immensely of Snow White's Scary Adventures.
I would hide when I was in line so I wouldn't have to see the witch come out every minute or so.
She terrified me.

When I was really young, Pirates because of the drops, all of the thrill rides and mountains, Fantasyland dark rides. Rides that I loved were Small World, Dumbo, Carousel, Storybookland Canal Boats, Autopia, Alice in Wonderland, Jungle Cruise, and Haunted Mansion.

Oddly enough, it was Nature's Wonderland. Admittedly, I have a strange cactus phobia and the Painted Desert portion of the ride with the cactus used to creep me out. I would always close my eyes when we got to that part.

If I recall correctly, the old Disneyland maps had small children warning for this ride?

This is gonna be a long one...
During my first time at Disneyland, we went to the character Breakfast at Paradise Pier. The first character I saw was Max, and he freaked me out. Which led to my hiding under the table when Minnie came to us. WE obviously didn't go on anything really big. But, I ended up going on Dumbo, and I got so scared, that I started kicking the vehicle when I got off. (I was five.)

Mr Toad's Wild Ride scared me a little bit because of the explosion and the train scene.

The Breakfast caused me to not like characters. My mom told me that they weren't real before I even got into the park. Which freaked me out even more.

So, yeah. I guess looking back, my first trip to Disneyland was a bit traumatic.

Oh, hands down, the sky way! I hated being up that high! (This reveals my age a little I guess.) :blush:

The only thing that scared me was Space Mountain because I couldn't see it first.

I was extremely scared of the Haunted Mansion before I rode it. I wasn't even that young at the time, either. I remember walking into the facade and seeing the mirror on the left before you enter the Stretching Room. I was so scared that something was going to pop out at me or something before we even got on the ride.

Pirates and the Haunted Mansion. I was always sure that my boat would go underwater on Pirates.

Re: Which rides were you scared of as a kid?

As foolish as it may seem, I was scared of Storybook Land...I know right! It wasn't about the ride itself, but the idea that the ride started with being eaten by the whale just meant to myself as a little kid that it was only going to get worse.

That and Haunted Mansion was pretty scary the first time, but after that it has become one of my favorite attractions.

Well, I actually can't remember anything that scared me, well actually one thing I guess, when I was five I was afraid of the hanging corpse in the Haunted Mansion.

Re: Which rides were you scared of as a kid?

I was scared of a lot of rides, but I stll rode them, except Indy and Splash. I was terrified of Space Mountain, Snow White, Pinocchio, Pirates, Indy, Mansion, Splash, Storybook. It's funny we can ride these attractions now.

Has anyone seen any kids scared of Radiator Springs Racers? I think giant talking cars would've been traumatic for me as a kid!

Re: Which rides were you scared of as a kid?

The Matterhorn - the first roller coaster I ever went on. My older brother took me. As an adult - Tower of Terror, not so much the ride but the anxiety that builds up while waiting to get on.

Re: Which rides were you scared of as a kid?

I was deathly afraid of being swallowed by Monstro on Storybook Land. I was also very petrified of C-3PO in the que of Star Tours. Its a big joke for me now, I always get a picture of him when im there

Re: Which rides were you scared of as a kid?

Omg Mr. Toads Wild Ride. I hated that. I still do.

Re: Which rides were you scared of as a kid?

The first time I went I was 6 but I can't remember being scared of any rides... I came away from that trip with HM being one of my favourite rides (still is!) and the next trip I was 11, too old to be scared then! So I've never really been freaked out by any of them!
