Does EE go upside down?

[IWorkWTeeth]

A friend of ours just came back from MK and told me that a CM told her that it goes upside down when you are traveling backwards. I told her that I didn't think so because of the harness system. Has anyone else heard this??
:wave:

No inversions. Whatsoever.

 

[RnRJoe6114]

No inversions, but at one point during the backwards section there is a helix or something similar to one that gives a small sensation of an inversion.

EE doesn't go upside down, that is of course unless your standing on your head

I have been on it several times. It does not go upside down at all.

The ride has lap restraints only, no shoulder harness which are used when coasters go upside down.

The helixes both inside and out have some pretty strong lateral G-forces. The second on the outside being the strongest.

Perhaps the CM was thinking of Rock'n'Roller Coaster at MGM. The first thing after the launch is a 360 degree loop. It's the only inversion I can think of at WDW.

Yes, the ride is completely non-inverted ...

There are some coasters that go upside down with only a lap bar (Mindbender at Six Flags GA for one unless they have changed it since I last went a few years back), so you can't always tell from the restraint. However, as everyone has said, EE does not go upside down.

this is true, there are a few like this that exist still, where they do inversions with only a lap bar, but they were "grandfathered" in when the law was changed in .. i want to say the late 80's.

But ya, EE is like Big thunder. Lots of turns no loops.

There is no law concerning lap bars or over-the-shoulder restraints on rides with inversions.
Just FYI.:wave:

Scorpion at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has one inversion and (last time I rode it) a lap bar.

It is NOT a fun experience. Unless you like your face in your lap.

I was just going to mention that one. I was there ~13 years ago and there wasn't really anyone there riding, so the ride ops just let people ride it again and again and again without having to walk around the line again. I rode it at least 20 times and had a blast.

If I did that, I think I might just go crazy :lol:

Every single time the went into the loop, try as I might, I could not keep my head up. I hated it.

Oh for the love of...
WHY THE HECK WOULD A TEA TRAIN GO UPSIDE DOWN!
Rockin' Roller Coaster is the only ride on WDW property outside of CyberSpace Mountain to have a loop. That and it seems like a cardinal rule of most of the mountain coasters to be all inversionless, the only exception being Paris's Space Mountain.

So then it's not the cardinal rule...hmmmm, anyway...I wonder who that CM was???:animwink:

HEY NOW DONT DIS MY FAVOR JR COASTER. SCORP. ROCKS that was my first coaster ever and it was and is still my favorite and my favorite big coaster next to everest is SHEIKRA "200 feet up, 90 degrees straight down".

While EE does not go upside down, not all looping coasters have shoulder harnesses. Son of Beast Kings Island Ohio, Mindbender Six Flags Atlanta, and Scorpion Busch Gardens Africa Tampa to name a few.
sorry should have read all posts before replying

law?? Son of Beast opened in 2000

Just FYI.:wave:

Both Outer Limits at PKD and PKI have been modified to be lap bars from OTSR back around 2000.
