You guys snuck in while I was posting!
Great update! Tell Ben that if I (the ride chicken to end all ride chickens) can conquer RnR, then he definitely can.
Shhhhh. Don't tell anyone, but I'm thinking about trying Expedition Everest in October.
Oh, fingers crossed for you!!! EE is so fun! And visually stunning! I have a lot of pictures from the ride, although it is still awhile before we get there.
I think Ben will do RnR, whenever we end up back at Disney. He did Dueling Dragons when we were at Islands of Adventure, and although it scared the living daylights out of him, he knows he can do inversions now.
First, love the message from Alex. I'm fortunate to love my work and while I can talk to the boys about that, there's nothing like hearing it from a Disney imagineer!
RnR - very cool! The boys love that one, too. I've done it several times and I love the ride, but can't handle the "closed in" feeling before it takes off and when it stops. A few rides ago, we were stuck in our seats after it stopped and it was very stressful - I had to reach for my bag and look at photos to keep from getting too anxious.
Missyrose, I highly recommend Everest - it's my second favorite thrill ride after ToT!
Here's another GO BEN! If he doesn't make it by October, we may need to take him in flat form!
It was really cool listening to Alex. I knew that morning which attractions we were doing (the chaperones who were not on the tour wanted to know so they could collect the correct FP while we were in class), but I didn't know about meeting the Imagineer.
I was definitely enjoying this Y.E.S. class experience much more than the previous day. That's the way to get a couple of the headliners done!
I'm with you. Expedition Everest Rocks!
Oh, Ben would love to come along on your trip in flat form. I could even make a costume for "him" for
MNSSHP!
See, that's the thing. I don't like big drops. So I've avoided Splash Mountain and ToT like the plague. My DBF has been trying to convince me the drop coming out of Everest isn't that bad. I don't know if I believe him.
I think I would rank the drops, from less intense to most:
EE
Splash
ToT- this has multiple drops so I would say this is the "droppiest"
