Spider-man is a slow moving dark ride that also has 3D and simulation effects. It is NOT a roller coaster in any sense. There is a "drop" but it is a simulated effect.

Forbidden Journey is similar to Spider-Man in that it is also a slow moving dark ride with simulation effects (no 3D). No drops on that one, and it's not a roller coaster, but it has some quick turns, and you will be flat on your back at a few points. This is also the one that takes you through Hogwarts castle.

Dragon Challenge is a roller coaster. Both dragons have 5 inversions and several drops.

Flight of the Hippogriff is a kiddie coaster. It has no drops, just banked curves and small hills.

As for roller coasters, there is also Hulk, Mummy, and Rockit. All of these have drops. Hulk has 7 inversions, the other two have none.

The only other rides with drops are: Doctor Doom (shot tower), Ripsaw Falls (log flume), Jurassic Park (big boat flume).

Despicable Me and Simpsons Ride are both simulators.

Just a note about the Simpson Ride... I can handle a lot of roller coasters, flips, dips, and drops - but for some reason, that ride gets me very motion sick! Just a word of caution!

As I mentioned in your other thread this morning (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2965005), Forbidden Journey is a fairly smooth ride. I'd characterize it as "swooping" vice a "quick jerk".

The Mummy also has two drops and is very fast turns. As someone who is a roller coaster chicken and suffers from back problems and motion sickness - the Forbidden Journey ride was too much for me - I rode it once but all the movement with the large screens didn't work with motion sickness. I do love the mummy ride though.
