    ok,as roller coasters go,it's not the most intense i've been on,but it is definitly the most intense at disney.
    it's hands down the best ride,the best cue...

    Personally I didn't care for the ride. I suffer from severe migraines, and the one time I rode resulted in a migraine. DW got motion sickness, but DD14 liked the ride. DD would rather do RNRC an additional time.

    I don't like roller coasters especially begin jerked around but I love this one. It is intense but it is also smooth which makes it so much better. I would suggest it unless you get motion sick or headaches like mentioned above. I won't ride any of them at Six Flags- way too intense! It is really a fun coaster.

    Everest is very intense in comparison to other Disney rides.

    Compared to the big coasters at a place like Cedar Point . . . .just medium.

    I'd rate it as slightly below the intensity of Hulk and dueling dragons at IOA.

    But it has great themeing that outshines all those others.

    I feel that it is equal to the rides you've tried. It
    is sooo smooth.

    I guess it would depend on why you are not a coaster nut. I am, I love them!!

    But, I have a history of back problems. I think Everest (and Rock N Roller Coaster) is so much smoother than space mountain. I enjoy the smoother coasters much more.

    I guess it all depends on your perspective.

    I lover coasters and I love EE!! The one thing that scares me is the height of the ride...

    It is rather smooth in comparison to other coasters but can give a small headache...which I normally do not get on other rides.

    Overall it is fast moving, with a few drops, and some backward motion.

    The first one-third of the ride is very much like Big Thunder Mountain. The next portion is backwards and in the dark, but it's not terribly fast...yet you will feel the G-forces and it's very thrilling! The final third is like Big Thunder Mountain again, but a bit faster.

    Since there are no loops, huge drops (anyone else want to go on that coaster in Japan with the 400+ foot drop?), or other extreme aspects, you may be surprised at how much you like it!

    The theming and attention to detail, IMO, makes the attraction well worth attending.

    Not very. Fun, but not scary at all IMHO and I'm not a dare devil type person.
    Many visits as child.
