Expedition Everest ~ Backwards drop!

[Minniespal]

Can anyone advise what the size of the backwards drop is for EE.

Thanx.

Just went on it this morning for the first time! I wouldn't call it a drop as much as high speed curves...it happens so fast and it's so much fun it's hard to remember all the details. Overall, everyone getting off the ride was raving about it, including me!

We rode it 3 times last sunday for the passholder opening.
To me there is no backwards drop, more like a 10 to 15 sec of going backwards
and like a small hill you go up with a few curves.

Then the yeti rips up the track on the screen and you move forward for a sec and drop 80 feet down to a trun and back into the mountain.
The drop to me is not as bad as splash mountain its over before you know it.

Thanks for the quick responses ~ I'm looking forward to the ride and although I love rollercoasters, I don't like going backwards. I was ok on the Mummy though.

If you wer eok on the Mummy I would think you would be ok on EE. I have done both also and I dont think either time going backwards is that bad if you know to expect it. My sister was riding with me and had no idea that it went backwards and she was freaking out lol.

you are realy pretty much just traveling backwards fast...no drop, maybe a slight decline.
