Wow is mild!! That was a great video. Thank you so much. Looks like I could handle that ride.....only bad part looks like the going backwards part. How was that? All dark?

Thanks firsttimer,
That was so cool, I absolutely can't wait. 147 days to go, I'm never gonna make it!

During our THIRD ride, a man next to me timed the ride from start to finish and I think it was just over 2 minutes. Seriously you have to ride! I think it was smoother than R&R. If you sit in the front of the "train" you get a GREAT view at the top, right where the tracks stop. Look straight ahead and you can see the Epcot ball!! So cool!!!!

OK, so my question is, what EXACTLY is going on when you go backwards into darkness????

Give it a few years - Vekoma coasters are infamous for getting rough as they age. RnRC was, at one time, very smooth as well.

Some twisting and turning and other coaster-like activities. I found that part of the ride a little disorienting and it made me a tad dizzy. I think it was just because I was so tired that day because my husband, who has Menier's Disease (inner ear stuff) wasn't bothered by it at all. Go figure.
Great ride though, not scary - just fun!

What is the height requirement? My DS who is 7 loves BTMRR. do you think he would like this?

Seriously...what goes on in the dark - this is a deal breaker for me .....is it a loop? a drop? or just speed. Please.........

The height requirement is 44".

 

[Pocohantasfan]

From what I remember (someone correct me if I'm wrong), it's some relatively fast "snakey" action. No upsidedowns, no major drops. Hopefully someone that's rode it more than once can chime in here.

One more thing from me...I haven't ridden it yet...that will have to wait till May. But I have a friend who rode it who said that it was freaking out little kids, so just as a warning, you might want to think about it before you let your kids ride.

I was thinking the same thing - you're OK with someone shooting at you and you're wondering about a little ride?
I've played paintball a bunch of times, and sometimes those shots can sting! If you can tolerate that, you can tolerate EE, I'm sure! Best of luck to you!

The backwards portion is in the dark. It is fairly fast and downhill, but has no sudden drops like ToT or loops like RRC. The track is curvy but there are not too many curves. It is over pretty quickly. Truthfully for me the worst part about the backwards section was that you hang a second or two at the "pulled up tracks" - just enough time to realize that you are going to have to go backwards to get away from them. Then you do and it's disconcerting, but fun and over almost before you know it.
