Originally Posted By FerretAfros I would agree with never noticing a difference. Once the drops set in, it is random, so no one will be better than the next. Also, I don't think there is really anything that changes, for better or worse, in any of the shafts.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros Well, they all start in the same room, at the same level, and the shafts next to eachother share 4-D rooms, so they would have to be the same height. It is possible that one 4-D room is higher than the other, but I don't really see the need for this, unless the set goes back further than we can see.

Well, okay, but if you don't start talking nicer to me I'm gonna' give YOU the shaft, old biddy!!
Originally Posted By TDLFAN I have always felt the left shaft is the best one...if not for the drop sequences but for being the most panoramic. When you are at the top, the "HOTEL" sign does not interfere with the view as it does in the right side shaft. So for those of you who make that right turn in the boilers room and use the first two right elevator... DON"T do it anymore... Continue gayly forward and use the two left elevators and get the better view from the top of the shaft!! Happy dropping!!! (Yuk, that doesn't sound right)

Our next trip will be just me and the boys, so if they want to ride, which I know they will, I'll HAVE to ride with them. *Biting my fingernails just thinking about it* However, I'll ride just about everything else, including RnRC. Oh, refused to ride Mission Space- I'm scared to death of this one. Is it wrong to deny your kids a ride on something if you're too scared to ride with them????!!!
Originally Posted By ssWEDguy I'm not a big fan of spin rides, and I don't have a special place in my heart for rides that drop. But TOT is different. 95% of the ride is the look and feel of the ride, and the anticipation. Nobody's better than Disney at messing with your mind before you actually experience the ride. I rode TOT at first with some reluctance -- to go on it with friends. But it got so when I was actually in the drop shaft I couldn't stop laughing. I go a lot now. Give it a try. It's more fun than traumatic. And since you're ascending and descending in a straight line, there's no real spin-type motion sickness involved.

I don't know if it I got sick because I was really worried about getting sick. I didn't physically get sick, but I felt so bad that killing me would have been more merciful. I didn't ride RnRC with my oldest DS. He wanted me to do the baby swap, and I wouldn't because I thought I would get sick. I still feel bad about that. While planning our trip, we were going over rides. My oldest son looked at me with his big blue eyes and said, "Please mommy ride that with me this time, I love you." Ouch, double mommy kryptonite, a please and I love you. This trip I will ride the rides he wants me to, but if I think I'll get sick, then it will be our last ride of the night.
