amusement park vs. theme park

two times we went to disney we took one of my sister in laws. they had never been. each time they were surprised there were not more thrill rides. i kept telling them that it was not an amusement park it is a theme park. there are not a lot of thrill rides. in fact there are probably only about 2 rides in each park that little kids under 44 inches cannot ride. it is all about the family. in fact when i went 7 and a half months pregnant, i could pretty much do everything other than a few things here and there. so warn your high school boys that if they are looking for thrills stick to 6-flags!
