Can someone settle an argument for me? Which one of the drops in these rides is longer and more steep? I say Frozen and my hubby says Pirates.

Maelstrom is the correct answer.

Is it still a backwards drop? That may explain why Pirates feels longer and steeper.

Yes, the track is the same so it's still a backwards drop. I feel Frozen's is longer but more shallow than Pirates.

sorry, I was referring to the Pirates in WDW. I know Frozen has the backwards drop but I was referring to the second drop that goes forward. I feel like this one is longer and steeper then the pirates drop.

Frozen/Maelstrom. However, Pirates in Disneyland is bigger.
