Scardy Cat needs help

[Magic Maker]

Ok so I do not do thrill rides. Dude any and all roller coasters just don't work for me. Test Track here at WDW was a huge undertaking for me.
Will I be able to handle Matterhorn??? Bare in mind, Thunder mountain is not too easy for me to do.
What about the Indy ride? My boyfriend insists that I go on it. Will I be ok?

Wow.. you're like me, but in a funny outfit

I wouldn't ride Matterhorn... all rollercoasters = evil.

 

[mousermerf]

PS: Take me with you. I'll not ride anything scary with you.

If you can't handle BTMRR, then the Matterhorn, IMO, is definitely a no-go

Matterhorn you could do, but may be intense for you. Indy you should probably be able to do, it's not that fast, just illusions and effects.

Not been on Indy, but the ride vehicles are the same as Dinosaur, so I assume you will be thrown around in a similar manner.

If memory serves, you are not keen on loud noises, so someone else will have to advise you how loud Indy is.

Whatever you decide, I hope the pair of you have a great time :wave:

The matterhorn really isn't that intense. There are no big drops, just sharp turns and attacks by an abonidable snow man. I suggest you atleast TRY this one. And, and there are two tracks, the Tomorrowland side, and the Fantasyland side. I reccomend the Fantaseyland side. Its smooter with NO dips and doesn't go too fast.

As for Indy, you MUST MUST MUST ride this. Its just like Dinosaur at Animal Kingdom, but with different themeing, special effects, and animatronics. Pretty much, the special effects are more intense that the actual ride. But PLEASE ride this. If you don't, you are seriously missing out.

If you decide not to go on BTMRR, its just about the same as WDW's, so if you decide not to go on it, don't worry, you're not missing too much.

Hope that helped. :wave: I'm not a huge fan of coasters either ( or atleast ones with big drops. I HATE drops. )

I would say you could do Matterhorn. It's really just a giant helix down the mountain with and occasional drop. It's pretty jerky though, but as others say.. "it adds to the charm". It CAN be scary though when you go through some of the dark caves and go on a small drop by the Yeti, but that's it. I too would recommend the Fantasyland side as the tamer one.. I personally like the Tomorrowland side more but it seems much faster and out of control (especially just after the lift hill!). I say you should at least try it and see how you like it!

Indiana Jones should be fine, too. It's FUN! I don't think it's anywhere near as scary as Dinosaur, too, so if you've done that, it's a piece of cake. The themeing is worth standing in line for itself. It's an incredible ride. You gotta check this one out

EDIT: Oh! And you REALLY should consider Space Mountain. It's practically like Matterhorn. I went on it many times during my trip and I only counted 1 significant drop. And seriously, that drop was nothing like the one in WDW. It's much FASTER though. But it's smooth, darker, and the music really adds to the experience. It was my favorite ride from my Disneyland vacation!!!

Matterhorn has more turns than anything else. The drops are very subtle. It is very bumpy though. You are sitting in cars that are similar to the WDW's Space Mountain (-) the individual back supoorts. If you decide to ride the Matterhorn, go with the Fantasyland side as it seemed tamer to me than The Tomorrowland side. Also, you may want to ride early in the day. I would assume that the ride gets faster throughout the day as the grease warms up and thins out. This is at least what I have been told about Space Mountain.

Indiana Jones is similar to Dinosaur, except that the ride and theming is so much better.
