HELP! Big Chicken here....

I was really scared to ride EE too, but then I went on it and LOVED it. It's much smoother than SM and overall very few major drops (only that one really that you can see from outside the ride) I definitely recommend watching one of the ride through videos on youtube.

Good luck!

how is rocking roller coaster? i think ill try that thrill ride but not to totally sure. not a big fan of going upside or loops but since it goes so fast hopefully i wont realize it just went upside down.

It's a rougher ride than EE. It also goes upside-down. You will feel the upside-downing, but it's over almost before it starts. By the time you realize you are upside-down, you're already done being so.

It shakes you more than EE.

RnRc is the closest thing WDW has to a State of the Art thrill coaster.

If you want to do the easier ride, do EE.

I have been terrified of EE for years but it really had to do with a dream I had and the part that looks like the track is broken (not to mention my fear of heights and the big climb to the top). One time, I decided I had to do it, it wouldn't be bad and I could do it. Well, I haven't stopped since. I love EE!! When the rest of the family is seeing Finding Nemo, I'm on EE. I can't imagine why I let my fears keep me off of a great attraction for so long!

EE is nowhere near as bad as RNR! In fact EE is quite tame IMO as far as coasters go. The drop is anticlimactic. Just do it!

Okay, watched videos on Expedition Everest numerous times trying to tell myself if I can handle Space Mountain, I can do this.....HMM? I am doubtful....SM still scares me a little. Is there anywhere out there where I can look at a full layout of the track somewhere posted on a website or the full ride with the lights on like SM? I am concerned with the way it goes backwards. AND (it doesn't stop here-LOL) I don't like heights and the lift hill climbs way up there. Help! Please change my mind about this. This ride looks like fun and kinda like Thunder Mountain on Steroids. I love that ride and can ride it over and over. What to do?

EE is a great ride. Everyone has different tollerance levels but IMO, it looks "scarier" than it really is. I wouldn't say I'm a huge ride chicken but I normally get rather nervous before going on a ride I haven't been on. I am generally a screamer on coaster (doesn't matter if I'm scared out of my witts or having fun ). By the end of EE I was actually screaming and laughing because I was having such a great time.

EE is fast and yes there are hills but they aren't that big....the lift hill you mentioned is high but the drop itself a lot smaller. There are no inversions during the ride, more twists and turns than hills. I am not entirely sure how accurate this image is, more I did find a track layout for you.

Since everyone does have different tollerance levels when it comes to rides the only way you are really going to know if you will like it or not is to ride it. I say go for it !
