Unfortunately you will get no words of encouragement from me. Tried Detonator at Thorpe park and it was horrendous experience. never again, though I think TOT may be a little tamer. I watched a youtube video of a guy who didnt put the seat belt on in the WDW TOT and he flew straight out of his seat! i'm not helping am i..
Am going to try and *brave* the parachute drop in TSPL this time... have you tried it? does it make your tummy flip a lot? I'm such a wuss...
I haven't tried the parachutes but I think I'd be ok on those. I feel your pain re Detonator - I went to Drayton Manor Park with a friend for her birthday and she talked me into doing Apocolypse and it was just horrific!!
I'd say that the HNY is about double the size of the rooms at Cheyenne. The beds are bigger than an average double and are well spaced. There is also a desk and chair and a smaller table and comfortable chair. The bathroom is bigger too with double sinks. You'll also have hairdryer, electronic safe and large wardrobes. I go the week before you (looking at your ticker) so if you want to know anything specific, let me know and I'll report back
Sorry, but I can't give any encouragement on TOT eitherI love the fast roller coasters, but for some reason I couldn't work out if we were going up or down on TOT, and I honestly felt it really hard to catch my breath. I was shaking when I came off
My DH however, who absolutely hates all the coasters loves this, and is probably his favourite ride now
The parachutes were fine, I thought. Very gentle. But I'm not frightened by heights or anything. I don't remember my tummy flipping and my ds, (who was 6 at the time and would not do btm) loved it![]()
Thanks Julie - good to know about the hairdryer actually - I didn't know they supplied them at HNY! Extra space for souvenirs in my suitacse

I'm the same as you and love fast coasters etc. but I think TOT might be a bit much for me...to be continued!
Tower of Terror isn't scary in the slightest, I was actually really disappointed! :-(
However - considering I did this and then ran straight back on for a second go, I may not be the person to listen to:

THAT looks terrifying Rosebug!! I sooo wish I would have the guts to do a ride like that...maybe that's a reason for me to try TOT - maybe I need to get used to the sensation?
We loved the ToT but happy to do most rides. Having said that, we had a bit of an experience last time where the ride abruptly stopped 15 m or so from the floor and stuck!
We were stuck there for about 15 mins until a maintenance guy came, tinkered about for 10 mins or so and eventually got us off! I thought they were going to have to get a ladder to let us down
. I'm probably not helping your fear though.....
Honestly, it is a great ride and worth doing once at least!
Ms Poppins - had to laugh at your comment re me not liking the HNY and blaming you for recommending itDon't worry, I won't blame you at all (well, not much - I'm only joking!!!)
. I'm sure we will
it! It's Disney after all!

I've heard so many great things about the themeing, I agree, I think I should try it at least once...eek!
