Ok then so this morning I went and rode EE !
It was brilliant ! There was a great atmosphere at the park at 9am when hundreds of Annual Pass and Disney Vacation Club holders did ran over there ! At it was we waited about 5 mins to get on it.
Wont give too much away except to say it really is good, a little slow getting going but after that sooo much fun ! And very fast ! Its scarier than Big Thunder Mountain, more like the Mummy ! As we left the ride the lines were longer mostly because there was a free gift (a pin holder which says sneak peek 2006) and you had to go through the fastpass area to get a voucher with it !
We also did dinosaur, met eeyore and was out of the park by 10.15 !

I havent seen the video, I purposely avoided it so it would be a complete suprise :D
The main drop is quite scary but is over very fast, it was just brilliant !
I then went to MK wearing my sneak peek pin holder just to make sure everyone knew I had been on it LOL !

persoanaly we all hated the park but then t was Easter 2004 and the place was packed, in fact the park opened an hour early. so it was heaving. Still EE does look very interesting...

lucky you but i would have stayed at ak all day
We also rode this on the 26th (sounds like we were there about an hour after Sally; not going to give anything away, other than to say that the ride was awesome; unfortunatly, on-ride photos weren't working for the preview though, so couldn't get one of those.
Got the sneak peek lanyard and pin though, which got us lots of comments and questions from people in the parks over the next few days.

looking forward to riding it in october - lucky you :thumbs-up
We were there on the 26th too!
I'm a bit of a baby when it comes to coasters, and I almost chickened out when we were put in the front row seats :omg:
It really is a fantasic ride and very smooth too. The detail in the theming is amazing to see.

Sue how does it compare to R & R? is there any steep drops like on Splash Mountain?
Thanks
Dawn :grin:
How fast scary is it? I am a wimp but i would love to ride it.
Hi Dawn
I can't ride R&R anymore as it's almost certain to give me a migraine:(
There are no inversions on EE and it is not as fast as R&R imo
There are drops, but my tummy didn't whirlygig like it does on Splash.:D
It really is a great ride and I know you will love it!
Can't wait to do this one in November! :grin:
It wasn't too scary Flo, but this bit was rather hairy!!!
