Expedition Everest

Is This Ride More Like A Roller Coaster Or Thunder Mt.?

Not sure what you are asking as they are both Roller Coasters.

EE is a roller coaster that is somewhat similar to BTM. It is a bit faster and some of it is in the dark and backwards with different restraints.

Does that help?

Yes, I Meant Is It Like Arr? Can't Handle The Real Crazy One's But This One Looked Fun.

Everest is much faster and jerkier than BTMR. BTMR is tame (in my opinion) compared to Everest....I loved it!!!

Way more intense and fun than BTMRR and better themed.

Think Thunder Mountain on Steroids...

It's now my favorite ride.

EE is just a crazy BTMRR. My youngest son was only 6 last April and didn't think he wanted to go on because of the Yeti. He changed his mind and he didn't regret it. He *loved* the ride, came off whooping and hollering, then wanted to go on again (oh if only I had another fast pass).

EE is about one level above BTMRR in intensity, so it's really not bad at all.

If you can handle BTMRR, and if you can handle the drop on Splash, then you'll be fine on EE.

Plus, EE is just a great ride, with good effects, amazing theming and details, and the Yeti is amazing (for the split second that you get to see it).

One Disney book claimed EE was "very smooth".

It LOOKS like it would be very jerky.

I don't wanna scare anyone off here, but I don't think you can compare BTMRR with Everest. Everest is FAR more intense. BTMRR at it's fastest goes about 33 MPH. Everest goes about 50MPH. What makes Everest so intense is unlike many other coasters, when it goes uphill, it doesn't slow down. That combined with the backwards portion, can make it very disorienting for people.

I loved EE, BUT it was VERY jerky to me. My neck was sort of sore when I got off the first time...we sat in the very last seat. The second time we road it we sat in the middle and it was not as bad. Still jerky...just not as bad!

I think its a combo of Splash,BTMRR and Space Mtn.
It is fast(faster than BTMRR)big drop, and bumpy
With that being said my 5 year old rode it twice last trip and LOVED IT!!!
It also goes backwards
