Wow , thanks for all the great info. You have me excited to ride it now. I chickened out in line the last time. And I will have my wife read this too, she might even want to do it also. The first ride is always the scariest. We were terrified on the Mummy ride at universal last year but afterwards we liked it so much we rode like 6 more times. RnRC here we come!!!!!!

Alot of people on here are saying that if you were able to do or liked Expedition Everest, than Rock 'n Roller Coaster would be a breeze. I beg to differ. I have ridden both numerous times. I have ridden Everest four times in a row, but you have to bribe me (usually with ice cream or the promise of a future Dole Whip) to get me on RnRC.

It depends on what you do and don't like. It seems the OP doesn't like heights, but was okay with the heights of Everest and Splash. You don't really see the track too much or the ground at all during RnRC. Since the speed of the ride is constant throughout, you don't have 'drops' so much. BUT RnRC does have inversions, and many people don't like going upside down. There are three inversions, and the two that are next to each other are intense. There is also a launch; the 'limos' go from 0 to 57 miles per hour in under 3 seconds and exerts a G force of 5, which I'm told is more than Mission: Space exerts during it's simulated launch into space.

I love roller coasters. I looooooove inversions. I looooooove the speed. I loooooooove the drops and keep my eyes wide open on the Everest AND Splash Mountain drops. However, I hate the launch. I hate the force exerted on my body. I will not ride RnRC unless I've taken Dramamine beforehand, that's how scared I am of the G forces. Once I get past the launch, I enjoy the heck out of the ride. But I will not ride RnRC as often as I ride Everest or Tower of Terror solely because of the launch.

I had never ridden any roller coaster before I rode RnRC (and I am sure it will remain like this for many many many years). I rode it because I was able to do it for cast member previews so I was not going to waste that chance, and because it was in the dark so I thought my fears would go away if it wasn´t outside.
I LOVED IT!! It is my favorite ride now.
I have rode it many times now and my favorite seat is not the first one, but the very last one... because I looove seeing everybody going over my head and the anticipation of knowing that I will also be upside down in a few seconds is so exciting!
The ride lasts so little... if you can handle the anxiety for the launch, you can do it! The music helps A LOT and the darkness too. If you feel it´s too much, then just close your eyes and hold on to the harness. It feels good too!
The line is soooo worth it! Go for it!! :)
