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.
The drop on Splash Mountain is outside in full sunlight as is the drop on EE.ksccar said: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 just find it funny everyone else is like "Whoo! Everest!!!!" and i'm like "I wonder if they have Yeti plush..."

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.

MissM said: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.
