that is a lie, the one in WDW goes backwards, and is about a thirty foot drop, but none going backwards.

To confirm everything up...
Yes it does go backwards

and yes it is an 80 foot drop - but not backwards

I have proof it is 80... splash mountain has a 50-60 feet drop... I remember reading in a Disney magazine that Everest would be the most biggest drop in WDW.

I asked a CM how long the drop was and it is 80 feet

technically the official drop is 120 ft. but they included the turn at the bottom since it is slanted down a little but it is only 80 ft. normal drop without the turn at the bottom included

Uh, no?

Everest's drop is 80ft with the turn-around element included. The only element in the ride that meets or exceeds 120ft is the chain lift itself.

According to my friend (I haven't ridden Everest yet), if you can handle Rockin' Rollar Coaster, you can handle Everest.

It really isn't that scary.
When I went to DisneyWorld I went on Everest and I took my mom on it. -.-
My mother hates Roller Coaster type attractions. But she loved it!
At first you might think, "It's going to be really scary!" But it is a very fun and fasinating ride.

I admit the ride is not scary. The mountain it self is a scary site. But IMO you enjoy it more if you go into it thinking that, there are always some first ride jitters. I love the ride and it is the best ride at any one of the 4 parks in WDW Florida WOOT WOOT. Rock N Roller Coaster is the 2nd best Rollercoaster and is also awesome, but my #1 must see at WDW is Expedition Everest, it free can rocks big time! I love to ring the bells in line Woot, u have to wake up the Yeti!

Scary? It's *******' cool!!! Backwards, forwards, stops, yeti shadows, awesome sound effects! My sisters said they got a headache after the ride, but I was sitting there giggling after 20 seconds of the ride! I' coaster freak, so its hard not to find a fast, dark ride that I'm not going to like.

no the AP said it was 120 ft. a few days before it opened but they included the turn bc it slightly drops down some
