Smoothness and theming, EE wins. Ability to listen to Beastie Boys while flying around Studios, RRR wins. Hmmm overall I guess EE takes the slight edge overall.
 
Everest wins this one easily for me. I just don't find the ride experience that enjoyable on RRR. Outside of that though, Everest is better in about everyway. The theming of it is amazing, from the museum queue with the gardens, to the mountain, even the shrine on the lift hill seems packed with stuff. RRR has a very basic queue, and the only real theming it has is the onride audio choice. Everest is also very smooth. It doesn't have the same intensity for better or worse, but it still has the height and speed some for thrill.
 
Everest hands down. No contest



My really big complaint about RRR is actually something Craig and Ryno bought up on a Universal show which was if you get stuck going up…..that can cause a lot of anxiety and what not.
 
I’ve ridden EE 5 times in a row before I called it quits due to shaken brain. I barely made it on RRR one time. Two times and I’m convinced I might have ended up with a traumatic brain injury.
 
The first time I rode RRR, I had to leave the park after I got off because I hurt so bad and my head was knocked around so much, I was nauseous for over an hour afterwards. And I am a coaster rider, nothing makes me ill... well.. except RRR. I rode it again years later and while it still hurt, it wasn't AS bad as it was the first time. I also found that sitting in certain rows are better than others. I forget which ones.
EE has ALWAYS been smooth and wonderful for me. Plus, it has the roomiest seats on any coaster I have ever been on.
