Though your coworker who rode ToT can hardly blame the other coworker. Unless she was scared by something other than the drop (in which case she probably would be scared by Haunted Mansion anyway), the ride pretty much shows you exactly what you'll be experiencing before you get on it.

Kind of like riding Dumbo and then afterwards saying you didn't realize it would go in circles.

I've walked all the way down that street and into the lobby when the line is short never having witnessed the doors opening. The cycle time on that ride can get really long, especially if a shaft is not operating.

But in conversation it seemed what scared him most was not the dropping but the uncertainty of when it would end. I think he could have handled one or two drops, it was the up and down with no clue to how long it would go on that got him.
