Rode Expedition Everest today!!(No spoilers inside)

[palmtreegirl]

What a GREAT ride!!! It was myself, DH, DD(9) and DS(5) and we all loved it! DS(5) did close his eyes during one part but the rest he loved. We rode it 3 times.

Another rider here. My husband and I rode this twice today. It is a great ride. The wait was only 11mins the first time through and the second time through we walked right up to the loading area. I think this is going to do what Disney was hoping for which is to bring more people to the AK.

Well it wasnt a walk on first thing this morning. It took us about 40 minutes the first time to get on around 9:40 am and the 2nd was only about 25 min. But I tell you it was every bit worth it. What was nice about the 2nd time is the line was actually on the inside and you could read some of the stuff about Everest and the whole Yeti legend. I wish we would have had more time cause I would still be there riding it. And dont let any of the ride videos full you, this has got to be about the neatest ride I have ever been on, and I have been on allot. Hope they have it open for testing again next weekend on are next trip.

What ride (thrill factor) would you compare EE to?

 

[NOLAminnie]

How bad are the drops? I have to admit that I'm a bit of a wuss and can barely take Space Mountain, but the big drop on Splash is actually kind of fun if I keep my eyes closed. Would you recommend this attraction for someone who doesn't like roller coasters?

 

[LaPeyi]

I have to say this ride is awesome!!

I tell you my DH never thought that he would go on it but he actually did it 4 times. One thing though make sure that you bring your photo ID with you cause otherwise they will not let you in. This is my first time so I am glad that I got mine with me.

I don't like drops or roller coasters too much but this is very duable. Anyone can do it. I can't wait to do it again!!!!

 

[GOOFYFREEK]

What ride (thrill factor) would you compare EE to?

I would compare it to the speed of RRC but no loops and there are some dark spots so you kinda dont know where your going. But this rollercoaster is like no other you have ever seen. And no matter what you do make sure you keep your eyes open for the Yeti, cause to me that is the best part.

There is only one big drop and its not to bad at all. My wife absolutly hates rollercoasters that drop, but she really liked this one.

Why do you need a photo ID?

Why do you need a photo ID?

because this is AP holder/DVC member preview weekend. you have to match the name on the AP or DVC ID.

Can you compare the drop to another ride? Say like, SM? Is the drop in the dark?

 

[BensMom]

Okay, y'all, so the ride is great. I can't wait. But can anyone please embellish on the kinds of lines you experienced? Are they issuing fastpasses, etc?

It killed me not to go yesterday or today, but my son is in school and this work thang...well, you know. Plus, we are moving this weekend!!!! Arrghh. I'd rather be at AK!!!!!

Sunday morning, we'll be there!

 

[owtrbnks]

Can't wait! 12 more hours. We'll be there tomorrow afternoon!
20 degrees outside now, 76 tomorrow! YEAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Almost walked on this morning. Just a few minutes wait. Drove 2.5 hours to ride EE then to DD's house for a bite of lunch and fix her bicycle and home.

My new #1 ride and DD also thought it was awesome. If I could only get DW on it.

FPs are available.

 

[GOOFYFREEK]

I would compare the drop to one of the bigger drops on Space Mountain but longer. But it is out in the open and you know when you are going to drop so your not blind. I the the first day lines where bad cause everybody and there mother wanted to ride it. But after that first wave of people it really died down and by mid afternoon I would imagine was walk on. I know when we walked by the FP the times where 1:30 pm. and that was about 9:40 am.

And yes this is by far my new #1 ride as well. Sorry Soarin'

 

[debbiedoo]
