Does Splash Mountain make your stomach drop?

The small drops are more fun than thrilling, and there is more than one way to get wet along the way! Splash Mountain's main drop is a 5-story, 50-foot plunge at a 45-degree angle at a speed of about 40 mph! You will definitely lose your stomach (and your mouse ears!) before getting splashed!
