I have stopped caring. If people want to think that then entire mountain needs to be airlifted off its foundation to fix the yeti, so be it.

Same here. I just hope the kids read back before hearsay becomes fact.

considering how many times the same thing "hearsay" reappear in this thread (almost weekly). id say it already became "part fact".

I remember when it first opened . They ran the Disney 365 of this every commercial for so long. They probably stop airing it because the yeti broke. I wanted to ride it so bad but was to scared . Even with broke yeti I still won't lol but I think they should fix it before Pandora. It's not like AK isn't already a waste of a day w/o a park hopper and most guest will plan their trip around Pandora anyway. Then again w/o EE , MK will get that traffic and make it even more crowded.

Whats this ride like for people that hate crazy coasters? (me)

i can deal with space mountain, im doing Aerosmith for the first time this year and bricking it.

 

[NormC]

You would like it. If you can do Aerosmith's RnRC you can do EE. RnRC has 3 inversions. EE has none.

 

[danyoung56]

No inversions and no over the shoulder restraints. A very fun coaster!

Ughhh no idea if i can do Aerosmith *dies a little inside*

its more the heights that get me though... so EE is pretty scary looking..

I think you'd be able to handle E:E. But first, what other coasters have you been on that are kind of like it? E:E is "tall" but it doesn't really have any big big drops, the one big drop you do go through you don't get that feeling in your stomach that you do on other coasters. So based off of what you've previously experienced might determine how you might handle E:E.

I've only done Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain... i've done all the water rides but then you don't see how high you are in Splash or Jurassic Park.

This might just be the oldest and still active thread on these boards! We're all waiting for that day when someone will post "THE YETI HAS BEEN FIXED!"

I think if you can handle splash mt.'s drop, then you'd be able to handle Everest. Even though it's taller, you don't get that feeling you do like when going down splash's drop.

Awesome, will give it a shot, its always the pre ride nerves that gets me.

Good to hear. Also remember that even if you come off and you don't like it, at least you tried it. It will be over in a few minutes lol.

Ok, back to our regularly scheduled topic.

The mind is a funny thing, ain't it? I've enjoyed EE many times over the years. But a couple of years back I was having some very serious depression and anxiety issues, and I worked myself up into a near panic over riding EE. I was sitting on it during the early curves, before it goes up the main lift, and was freaking out and wanted off NOW! Of course there was no way off, and of course once the actual ride started I had a great time like I always have. Very strange!

The maximum track height is pretty much only how high the main lift goes (the one you can see that's angled and bridge like). So not that high.

If you can handle the drop in Jurassic Park you can definitely handle Everest. No question. The drop isn't what will get you... it's the G force you feel when going backwards through the caverns. But like so many have said, if you can handle some of these other rides, then Everest isn't a problem. Don't psych yourself out before, just enjoy the ride.

 

[Cesar R M]

My niece and nephew both said that Aerosmith was the "hardest" in terms of raw speed feeling. EE wasnt that bad.

thanks all
