EE - worth riding twice in a short time?

[MNborn]

For those of you have experienced EE... Is it a ride that you want to do more than once in one morning? We'll probably go there first to get a FP, but should we also ride it right away and then come back for the FP?

Thanks...

DH and I rode it during testing phase back in February, and we ended up riding it 3 times in about 20 minutes - once on FP and twice on standby.

It is so worth it. The queue area alone is worth waiting in line, there's just so much detail that they put in the queue area. Then the ride is so smooth and not jerky at all. I'm not that big on roller coasters because I can't stand having my head jerked side to side, but EE was really smooth. Sitting in different sections of the train also gives you different feels of the ride.

The first time we sat in the very last row, the second time we were in the 7th row from the front. Those two seats had very different ride experiences it was amazing.

Short answer - absolutely you want to ride more than once.

just got back from WDW on Thursday...rode EE 10 times in 2 days...Disney has out done themselves with this ride...from the queue area in to the ride itself is awesome...first day there I rode it 4 times in a row...well worth it.

During the AP preview, DB and I rode it 4 times in a row on Friday and 4 times in a row on Saturday. I do mean inm a row, get on. ride, get off, run thru the queue and get on again.

It was great, do it if you like coasters and can ride it back to back.

During the preview I had brought 5 girlfriends with me and we 3 times. 1st on stand-by than a fast pass and as we got off an imagineer gave us a fastpass again to ride the middle. It was awesome, you try different seats on the train!!! Have a great trip!!

I'm sure my son and I are planning to get several rides in during our next trip.

I didn't ride Everest, but on Soarin' I grabbed a FP first and then went for the ride.
If you don't like it, you can always hand the FP to someone waiting in line.

When we were there last week we went to AK for opening two days -- both days we headed back to EE, rode it, got a Fastpass, got back in line to ride standby again, and then did the safari and Dinosaur before returning for our Fastpass time. So we rode three times each day we were there. We really enjoyed EE and definitely wanted to ride it many times. It can be enjoyed as a pure coaster, but then you have the theming to add to that.

When I go to WDW next month I plan on riding it as many times as I possibly can!

Mt wife & I got fastpasses at around noon with a 3:40-4:40 return time and went back to our room at AKL to take a dip in the pool. She didn't feel like going back, so I headed to EE alone and used both passes to ride it back to back. Awesome the first time, better the second. The ride is easily the best in the park!!

Dh and I rode it immediatley at 9 and then got a fastpass for 10 and rode again. It's pretty cool...I'm not big on roller coasters, so my opinion is less than most....but I would say yes it would be worth it.
