An unidentified couple has become the subject of furious debate after wearing T-shirts with a sexual message to Disney theme park.
Both T-shirts make use of the letter 'D' written in Disney's signature calligraphy font — but play on a double entendre where 'D' can stand for both Disney and a piece of male anatomy.
'I gave her the D,' reads the man's shirt, with a Cinderella's castle icon after the D.
'I wanted the D,' reads the woman's shirt, with the same Cinderella's castle icon.

Kingda Ka Breaks Speed and Height Records Thanks to These Motors

JACKSON TOWNSHIP, NJ
With a peak of 456 feet, Kingda Ka is the world’s tallest roller coaster. That’s a ridiculous 45 stories up in the air, to which you’ll be taken to at a 90-degree angle before you come flying down in a 270-degree spiral. As per Six Flags, it’s also North America’s fastest roller coaster, hitting its top speed of 128 mph in just 3.5 seconds. With an acceleration speed faster than most cars on the market, Kingda Ka is definitely not for the faint of heart.

While you may not have heard of Kingda Ka, it has been around for a while. It first started operating on May 21, 2005, according to Worldwide Hydraulic Professionals (WHYPS). Additionally, it was designed by the Intamin company, which also designed the Top Thrill Dragster. Located at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, the Dragster formerly held the continent’s fastest coaster title. It can hit 120 mph in 4 seconds, but it is closed for the remainder of the season.

ORLANDO, FL

​Disney World's first reverse-launch roller coaster, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, is set to debut in 2022 at Epcot.
The attraction – don't dare call it a ride – will consist of two parts, the latter being one of the world's longest enclosed roller coasters. The building that houses the coaster is "so large it can fit four Spaceship Earths," the iconic "golf ball" at the entrance to Epcot, according to Ashley Levine, senior product controls at Walt Disney Imagineering.
Details such as the exact height, speed and time of the attraction haven't been released, but we do know the coaster does not go upside down. It is being billed as a family-friendly adventure.
