Expedition Everest...how intense of a ride is this?

wow, although I am not the big fan of this ride (due to skyhigh expectation), I've never seen this ride is that boring to people. I think its the most beautiful roller coaster in the world. For me its like Beauty & the beast. but maybe its a tame beast for you. haMerlin said:

Does EE have big drops, such as going high and suddenly dropping? My mother has a mild heart condition, but not serious enough for her to not ride anything, but big drops bother her *and me for that matter*. She has rode Test Track, Dinosaur, BTMR, etc and had no problems whatsoever, just curious if EE had any major drops. Thanks.
The longest drop is 80'. Not big by coaster standards but pretty big by Disney's. With the number of ride through videos floating around about the only surprise will be the drop in the back wards section of the ride.stankly182 said:

There really isn't a backwards "drop." You go backwards down the hill somewhat slowly and then pick up speed as your train levels out. The train then makes a quick turn to the left and starts an upward helix.Master Yoda said:

You obviously are starved for attention, but I'm not in the frame of mind to be your nutritional supplier so stick that in your oral orifice and masticate on it. From this point on ..... deal with the starvation.
You are correct. It is nothing like the 80' drop but with it being in near total darkness it is the only thing that the videos leave you clueless on. It took me quite by surprise the first time I rode EE.peter11435 said:

LOL! No, it's not what I would consider a "beast" at all (that would have been cool). I guess if I had to compare EE to a Disney character, it would be more like...say,...the Wardrobe in the movie Beauty and the Beast (i.e. not much personality and a pretty much forgettable character overall). :lol:
Dude, we get it you don't like EE, enough already. Your comments in this thread are completely pointless and unhelpful to the OP's question. Your opinion is shared by a few others but you are definitely in the minority. I don't like ketchup but you don't see me searching out every possible avenue for expressing this dislike. Why don't you find an anti-Disney forum and post there. I am sure your opinions will be much better received and WDWmagic will be a better place without you.Merlin said:

Just got back
Hi! I had posted earlier in this thread asking whether anyone who had previously rode EE thought it would be OK for a 4 year old who loves coasters. Well, I am happy to report (having just returned from 6 days at DW) that he LOVED it! I had showed him the video that someone had posted on here so he was a little prepared. The first time through he made me cover his eyes when the YETI pops down near the end. The next time he watched and still was A-OK with the ride. The intensity was fine for him. Not saying every 4 year old would be OK with this ride but this one was despite my (slight) concern. Just in case anyone else with smaller children is wondering the same thing I was...:wave:
