My feelings - I broke my neck back in 06. I am fine, no big deal now but back then, I couldn't ride a "thrill ride". This was the one I missed the most. I so wanted to ride everything but the drop. Because all the rest is so wonderful. Yes, there is that one drop and the entire attraction is set up for that one effect. There's SO much more! Since I can ride again, I find it very interesting with new people who think it's just, "get in the log, go out on the water, go up a hill and then go down." Nope. It's one of the longest Disney attractions so relax and, trust me, you will know when that long drop is coming. But, not after you've had a lot of fun with everything else. Oh - and after that drop - more fun.
