    Default Ride drop question

    Is the drop on the Frozen ride comparable to the drop in Pirates of the Caribbean?

    If they are using the same track as the Norway ride (which I think they are) then yes it is about the same. Though I never thought it was as scary as the POTC drop, because you could actually see where you were going.

    Yeah it'd be over before you realize it. POTC is a great comparison.

    Yes, and not scary one bit. I do not like scary drops and can tolerate the Frozen one quite well.

    Thanks everyone! Are there two drops with one being backwards? Sorry to ask so many questions, I'm not a fan of drops so I like to be prepared!

    I forget about the backward one, which tells me it really is not much of a drop. It is the forward one that sticks out in my mind.

    The only scary thing is the line.

    My daughter and son-in-law live in Lewisville. I-35 is the never finished gauntlet we have to go through to see the grandkids! Being with them in WDW at Christmas last year was (believe it or not) less stressful!

    That isn't scary, its insane. Been there, done that, never again. TV is better..

    35 is always a disaster. But the traffic in Tx is horrible in all the major cities, Dallas, FW, Austin and Houston.
