No way for me I'm afraid. I can handle roller coasters, but not ones with big drops. And by the look of things, Everest will be having a HUGE drop. So, no ride for me.

Join me in Merf...Anything with an 80ft drop is not for me..I can do Splash Mountain but that is almost too much. Actually I find drops in the dark are worse since you can't see that bottom..so the drop inside Splash Mountain was horrible because I didn't know when the bottom was. EE's drop is not in darkness but I still won't try it. My husband can do it and tell me how fun it is...

I see big money to be made in EE "drop therapy" classes.

I know the biggest drop on Splash is outside...I was talking about the 2nd drop when you are inside the mountain...I was making a point about drops in the dark being worse than ones that are in the light..

If I die between now and December 2006, you can count me in the I'm not riding group. Maybe I can arrange for Disney to let my corpse ride...Of course, I have no intention of dying!

If you watch that video, that coaster has a drop of 92ft, so will be a little higher than Everest, so you can guage (sorta) how long you'll be dropping for.
In my opinion, anything under 100ft is over before you know it.

How long is the drop in Splash Mountain? I don't like really fast rides - I don't do RNRC or TOT - and nothing would make me! Splash Mountain is about my limit - so if EE is not much higher I would give it a try. I don't even like thunder mountain - I will go on it, but I don't like the feeling of being jolted around. Hopefully EE will be a much smoother ride - anyone know? DH loves all the fast rides and wants me to go on with him, but I'm a bit of a wimp!

Well said, Steve. It's very true that disney rides aren't as rough as most other parks. Some of you might enjoy it!

Why do people always try to tell someone else what they can and can not handle? Why do they insist upon telling someone what they'll like and won't like? Why can't people who don't have phobias or fears or dislikes or medical conditions just accept that not everyone is like you and not everyone likes the same thing.
I don't care if EE is wussy compared to most coasters. I don't care if it's watered down or supposed to be accessable to everyone. I also don't care if 5 year olds ride it. SOME OF US DON'T ENJOY THAT KIND OF THING. And we shouldn't be hassled about it.
I won't do anything with a drop. Period. Any drop. Ever. For any reason. It doesn't matter if it's "only" 80 feet. That's 79 feet too much for me.
Jeez. It's so annoying when people push something. When they can't just let someone be. You like it, you enjoy it - great! But leave those of us who aren't interested or who don't want to or who don't like that kind of ride or aspects of the ride alone.
EE is NOT for me and I have no problem with that. I just don't know why the rest of you DO have a problem with that.
