I have a whole bunch to write about, some of which is already added to other relevant threads in the TDL section. I'll start a topic soon about my trip proper, and add in all of the things not said so far (such as you coughing all over me and causing me to bring SARS or Bird Flu or whatever you had back to Texas. Everyone in my office was most apperciative.)

Originally Posted By Lewis Goofy Great review TDLFAN but I would give this ride an A+ IMO. Besides the speed and thrills, (backwards freefall and an 80 ft plunge),it has tremendous themeing and detail. Just standing in line,will entertain you and the Yeti itself is huge. Disney ats its best is an understatement. Congrats to Jay Rasulo and Joe Rhode.

This is only a matter of opinions here.. but my keen observations and sharp eye for details sunk the rating I gave EE to B+ and I stand by it. Now..hopefully, some minor improvements will be made before the official debut day, but I am not holdingmy breath on that. Still EE is a great ride. Lots of fun fun fun.

It is unbelievable down to its smallest detail. I also hold WDW under a microscope, but to me WDW is at the top and is what all other Disney resorts should strive to be.

Originally Posted By vbdad55 you would think so on first blush, but since Lewis has been around a while, I believe he's not really trolling, he very much believes what he types.
