You should be scared the first time--that's the fun part of a great new thrill ride! I'm not going to post any spoilers--it's a great ride. For intensity, it's probably between Big Thunder and R&R. The themeing is so great. The only thing I found a little scary was the way up, up, up. You can actually see the tall landmarks from the other parks! You're held in by a lap bar. I rode EE 8 times until I got jelly-legs. My kids went for 10.
I think it's the best thing that's happened to Disney since Walt opened the MK!
Well maybe that's a stretch, but it is very good.
The queue is soo increadibily detailed and the ride itself has a couple of surprises. A true Roller Coaster Junkie will probably think it's just so so. It's not as intense as RnR more on par with BTMRR but it's really cool.
It's wonderful and you can't miss it. Ride it at least once & decide for yourself. The parts that some condider a bit intense are over before you know it. Just do it!
