As someone that will soon be making my second trip (and first as an "adult" - I took a "family" trip when I was 18...but stuck with the family instead of going out on my own), I can tell you what would really get me excited. First, I understand that the general "Disney" theme is families, and children. But, it should be obvious by the number of folks that post in the "Disney for adults", or "Disney for teens" forums that not everyone going has kids. That is why my vote would be for a "heavy duty thrill ride" park. When my girlfriend and I were planning, we got the "birnbaums" book, and have been hitting this forum and some other websites. But we tend to notice, that as two "late-20's adults" with no kids, unless we want to wait in line for hours, we aren't going to be able to go from one exciting ride to another.
I would love the thought of a park full of some of the more technoligicallly (sp?) advanced rides. Take a look at how much press "Cedar Fair" gets (I've never been there, but if you watch Discovery, TLC, or The Travel Channels, they are always featuring roller coasters from those parks). I have never heard of a "Coaster Enthusiasts of America" trip to Disney.
Don't get me wrong...like I said...I understand the "bread and butter" of Disney is keeping rides themed with their movies, and appealing to families with younger kids. But look at the popularity of "Test Track", or "Tower of Terror". Both of those rides are designed to thrill, and from what I read on these boards and from other sources they are often the busiest rides in their perspective parks.
So, my vote is for a park of rides that are geared toward mid-teens and up. Cut out the fairy princesses, and put in some rides with speeds of 60+mph.
