Thanks ... I will pay attention to that sound Is it pitch black or can you see the other people in there with you ?

When I do it, it takes me to the edge of my motion sickness tolerance and I vowed never again after last time (stupidly did it straight after Rock n Rollercoaster) but I think on our next trip I'm going to do it again and give one of those motion sickness bands a go to see if they work for me. I'm sure I'd enjoy it more if I wasn't thinking 'Please don't throw up' and taking deep breaths.
By the sounds of what your like ...I think I will be the same . I cant do rollercoasters as I hate the ups and downs and heights . Maybe I will buy something to settle my nerves

My nemesis for sure - every holiday for the past 12 years has been preceded with “This time I’ll do ToT” and i failed every time.
Well, this year we did it & LOVED IT !
As others have said, it’s the anticipation that gets you - the actual drops are fun rather than scary.

I was the same and said I would go on with DD, was not looking forward to the drops but it was not nearly as bad as I expected. Give it a go, you will feel so pleased with yourself 😊😊

I'd say it's a fun ride rather than a scary one but Disney is good at making it all appear a lot worse than it actually is. The theming alone is worth the trip inside. You'll go on it then you'll be going back on again and again!

I've just done it for the first time and I was absolutely terrified. I went back on a second time but the fear was still very much there. I don't think its a ride I'd go on without my partner being there to push me. Don't get me wrong, the look is amazing and I love what they've done. I just don't like not knowing what the drop sequence will be. It makes me feel massively out of control

I adore rollercoasters and drops but I hate this ride! I went on it once but never again! Grab a F.P. for it and then give it a go once with less wait. Then at least you can say you ave done it once. I usually get a F.P. for DW and wait by the exit 🙂

I think I will have to tell myself that each drop will be a long one...the if it only drops 1 or 2 floors then it will be a bonus
