Everest ?
I was looking for opinions. I have been on every ride except ToT and Everest. I love space mountain, rocking roll roller coaster and tolerate splash mountain (anticipation of that drop gets me). What is everyone's thoughts about Everest? I am so disappointed each time I leave WDW and have not rode Everest. But, I'm nervous to ride it. All thoughts are appreciated.

If you have done Rock N Roller coaster at DHS you will be able to handle Everest. Some of the views you are able to see while on that coaster are amazing. It does go both forward and backwards, but I find RNR way more intesne. It is a fun ride, hope you get to try it the next time you visit.

It has one large-ishh drop and a backwards section. But the whole ride is very smooth. Definatly worth doing at least once. My sister hates roller-coasters but will do everest without a second thought.

If you can do R&R coaster and TOT, you can do Everest. It is an amazing coaster.

Absolutely! I can get a little queasy on some roller coasters--never have gotten sick or queasy on Everest.
As a reference: I can ride TOT--however, I tried the intense side of Mission: Space and got motion sick--so it's just the Green side of M:S for me now and Orange side for DH & DS.

As others have mentioned, if you can do RnRC and ToT...you can handle EE. Some people probably get thrown by the backwards part, but it's very smooth. It stops and starts a few times, but it really doesn't have any HUGE drops. Go for it next trip, you won't be sorry.

I have a friend who hates TOT and rarely rides Splash because of the drop but, she loves Everest. Definitely try it!

I hate RnR but love Everest. And I hate the drop on Splash and nearly always skip it, but do Everest a few times per visit. It is fast, but smooth. And the big drop is nowhere near as steep as Splash. It's also way less jarring than Thunder.

I share your sentiments on Splash (and Tower) but LOVE Everest! It is soooo fun and just a thrilling ride, I was scared to death the first time I rode it but my Mom drug me on, now I am the one saying "One more time, the line isnt long, lets go" try it, if you can handle Rockin you can handle them all!

I can't imagine that you'd have a problem with Everest if you're fine with Aerosmith Rock'n'Roller Coaster.

I am a bit wimpy and have done TOT and once loved it and once found it more scary. I have never done RR. I have done EE 3 times. I find the first big drop scary (like splash) but don't mind the backwards part at all. If you've done RR you can do EE. It's okay!

EE is awesome! The theming, the queue, everything about is cool. The ride is very smooth, and for me less scary than RnRC. Although I do not particularly care for backwards rides, it fits in nicely in this case.
