It is not bumpy at all. We were there a week ago and the 13 y/o we were with also gets motion sickness, but she rode EE 4 times!!! It's fast, pretty intense, but is very smooth!!!

It is a roller coaster though, and I would think someone prone to motion sickness might not like it. There's also a spot where you go backwards that is a little stomach dropping-esqe

I get motion sickness pretty easy. I took a dramamine before riding and I was still a bit woozy.

It is a very smooth coaster, however, the backwards part really tickles your tummy!!!

Does Big Thunder Mountain RR bother her? Imagine that ride, twice as high or more, twice as intense but similar in concept. It's really a great ride!

Here is a video of it...

There are several different versions of people filming the ride on youtube if you do a search on it. It might give you an idea of how the ride will be.

Friend here,
just wondering if anyone could tell me anything more about how the ride is! I have a 12 year old daughter who isn't very keen on the thought of really high drops like on Splash Mountain. I want her to go on it, but i need a bit more info to tell her. She is my Disney Princess and i want her to go on every ride she can and wants to go on!



In 14 days is our 13th Disney trip

There is a post right above yours with a video link. Watch it/them, and see if you need to know anymore.

I agree with that statement! My DH and I went on it twice yesterday!

I'll post my trip report tomorrow. We just got back about an hour ago from Florida and I'm exhausted and ready for bed.

I don't get motion sickness on rides, but I got sick on a cruise for some reason. Dramamine didn't work for me, but Bonine sure did without the drowsiness!!

as i have posted a million times before, and will gladly post again, I LOVE EE!!! i hate big drops, i hate going backwards in the dark, and i typically hate roller coasters. However, for some reason i did RnRc (loved it) big thunder (it was alright... not 'thrilling' enough for me... if you can believe that... and i did EE... what an amazing ride. The front drop (80ft) wasnt bad at all for me, and i really wasnt phased at all by it. The backwards part was no big deal, and i would have glady waiting in line for it again had it not been 95* outside with 89% humidity. ( i head right over to kali river rapids)...

But......and this is a BIG one....

keep in mind that everyone's experiences and perceptions of EE are different. I could love it and the next poster could HATE it... which i will never understand, but i will always respect 100%

so i would suggest looking up all the different movies on youtube and watching different videos. I would also type in "the making of expedition everest" and watch that on youtube if you never saw it on tv. It's a 5 part show on youtube (about 1/2 an hour)... but it might help.

and by all means, HAVE FUN if you go on it, and i hope everything works out for you and you have just as much fun on it as i did!!!

It's smoothe but when you go backwards it's kind of dark and disorientating! I didn't feel sick to my stomach just a little woozy! hopefully your mom will be alright. Even if she just goes to where the ride is, it's really pretty cool the way they have things set up to look like a Chirpa village. Helen

Granted I'm not a big fan of roller coasters but EE was the most frightening time of my life and I am in my sixties. Going backwards was terrible!! However, I loved Dinosaur and the drops in ToT were exciting. In fact, ToT is my favorite ride/attraction in WDW. Go figure.

We loved it when we rode it last July but . . . the going backwards part was really wild! I almost felt like we were going through a loop for a second! I like roller coasters so I just thought it was fun but for someone else it might be a little scary for them! I wouldn't think it was enough to make anyone too sick.
