Is the Eurostar scary to ride from London to Paris?

Is Eurostar Scary. Eurostar is not scary and will not feel different than riding any other train. Most trains go through several tunnels at some point, and the Channel Tunnel will feel just like any other tunnel, just a little longer. If you didn't know you were underwater you wouldn't be able to tell.
