We went on it for the first time the other day and loved it - really good coaster and the themeing is perfect too. It's very fast and every bit as good, if not better, than the Universal coasters.

We loved this and I don't like roller coasters! There is one section where there is a significant downward G-force, that left dh with a wonky neck, but apart from that it was brilliant. We also loved the entrance to the ride, an old station in the Himalayas with all sorts of anecdotal evidence about the Yeti and climbing. Very convincing!

Glad someone said about their neck...mine was broken years ago...and anything that could damage it again I have to stay away from....I'm going a bit fed up with rollercosters at the parks..they are theme parks not funfairs......

How does 'Everest' compare with 'Thunder Mountain'

I am a 'wuss' and do not like big drops. Speeed , twists and turnms i can handle.

Cheers

Be interested in the answers here too Nigel. It took me a lot of years to get on Thunder Mountain, and even now our daughter has to tell me what is about to happen befpre it does or I would freak.. I am sure there is more speed and more long drops....

Can you handle the dark and going backwards as well as an 80 foot drop though?

My 85 year old mother has been on Big Thunder Mountain (when she was about 80) and survived but that's pretty tame in comparison.

I just don't do drops of that magnitude. If you are being serious I will sit it out. 80ft is roughly the same drop as the Jurassic ride which scares the poop out of me!

I don't think the drop on Everest feels like the drop on say Splash Mountain. It is a great ride but on a scream factor scale of 1 to 5 and you put Big Thunder Mountain at about 3 then Everest would be at about 3.5 in my book.

Disclaimer - The author of this post gives no guarantee/warranty or validity of the scream factor scale - it's all just for show!

I think the answer is to make it your first stop to get a fast pass as they often run out by mid afternoon. We left it to last and they published a 50min queue, but it only took 30mins, so not too awful

Me too, bit of a scaredy cat but somehow kids persuaded/conned me on last year and it was cool, not totally scarey but enjoyably thrilling, our 8year old also loved it

Once on Everest was enought for me, yet Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain I love, will go on time and time again.
