I like free fall but hate uncertainty, so my thumbs on that ride are kinda at a 45-degree angle up. If I'm doing a drop ride, I want one of the parachute-ish ones -- straight up at a screaming rate of speed, hang time at the top, and then a hella fall.
I did not think the Aerosmith coaster was anything much of all that, but then the Disney family of parks in general is not known for their coasters. My favorite Orlando coasters (and mind, I haven't been there in four years) are Incredible Hulk at Universal Islands of Adventure and Manta at Sea World. They're both suspended coasters, and you ride Manta prone.
A ride worth running for at rope-drop -- or using your FastPass on -- is Soar at Epcot. It's a virtual reality hang-gliding ride. FastPass on it books out quickly; the park was open until 9 or 10 the day we went and all the FastPass slots for it were gone by noon (this was before you could book your FastPass anywhere except at the park.) It's indoors and cool, it's suspended but not scary, and the scenery they show you is lovely.
