I will say that for some reason, at least for me, flume drops and roller coaster drops just feel different. I think it's because, at least in this case, the flume drop isn't as steep as coasters I've been on (Millenium force, Top Thrill dragster). Anyway, years ago I used to be very nervous about drops until my parents dragged me on it. I got worked up for nothing, it was FUN. I understand not everyone is like me, but I feel a lot of people are, afraid to just try it. I think you'll have a great time if you do Just relax and enjoy the laughing place It "feels" a lot worse if you tense up and let your stomach start flopping around. I think other can probably attest to this as well.
Do it! You'll love it!

For what it's worth, I find Space Mt. a lot less enjoyable (and more unnerving) than Splash Mt. They don't even compare in my mind...but, of course, that's just me.MissM said:I think people push FAR too much when it comes to riding rides you don't enjoy or get sick on. They push and push and think it's helpful, but it's not. It's just peer pressure. I've never ridden Splash Mountain and never will. I'm terrified of heights and a dropping sensation will literally ruin my day. It's not worth it for me.
I got egged on over and over and over and over to ride Space Mountain. "Oh it's not bad!" everyone told me. I hated it. I was absolutely terrified. I don't care if 5 year olds ride it, but for me, it wasn't something I wanted to ride. I should have listened to my own opinion instead of letting everyone talk me into something that I really, really had a horrible time on.
Only you know what you can handle. A 50-odd foot drop is something not only do I know I can't handle but it's not something I want to force myself to do. There's more then enough to do and enjoy in WDW that I don't need to make myself miserable.
Good luck either way.
