Tower of Terror VS. Expedition Everest

[marsrunner]

Sorry, but I don't think there's anything intense about Doctor Bore's FearFall at Islands of Adventure, or any of those tower rides. There's no anticipation, no unknown, no surprise. Its just zoom into the air and then bounce a few times. Boring, boring, boring. Drop/blast towers are just about the laziest, most boring attraction you can have in a theme park that is considered a "thrill ride". Tower of Terror is so good because the drop is randomized and there's a buildup to the drop. Its creative, unlike the cookie-cutter ride at Islands of Adventure or any Six Flags park.
Now, that being said, I voted for neither, because I don't think either one is intense. Fun, yes, but not intense. You want intense? Right Hulk at Islands of Adventure. That's intense! Of course, the story and themeing are practically nonexistent so I don't like it as much, but that wasn't the question!

I think it's hard to compare the two rides since they are very different! Both are intense in different fashion. I love both of them. Although the Yeti on EE does make me duck my head-I'm afraid he'll get me.

ToT for sure.

ToT

It's all "when are we gonna drop? When? How many times?"

EE you can time when it's going to go backwards (and feel/hear the track switch).

I love both rides. Tower of Terror gives me more of a thrill simply due to the unknown.

I voted for ToT because from the moment you enter the queue there is that unknown factor and frightening atmosphere. While youre riding, you dont know how far youre going to drop or how many times you will drop. All the while, you are unable to see very much. On EE, the only frightening part for me was the big drop. Going backwards was not intense for me, it just makes my stomach feel funny.

I rode EE on our last trip but was too chicken to try ToT.

Are you in a sitting or standing position on ToT?

Sitting

I voted for TOT. The first time I rode the first thing we did was shoot up. I assumed that would happen the second time as well, but the first thing we did then was drop down lol So now the biggest anticipation for me will be if we will drop or shoot up first.

I definitely think EE is more intense to me. I could only ride it twice in a row and then started to feel sick. I could ride ToT all day! I totally love both!

I'm not going to lie... I liked ToT better when it was a FULL drop. Not doing the little/half falls several times. In fact, my grandmother won't even ride it anymore.

But I still think it's more intense.. I mean, come on... who wants to be stuck in the twilight zone?
