Just to note, you can turn the periodic monster attacks off (there's a slider in the settings for "shark frequency", and you can set it to zero).

The sensation of being off the train is weird at first, but I got used to it pretty quick, and I don't really get a sense of height from it because there is no falling. There's only gravity aboard the train, in depots, and on the occasional island, and if you walk off an island you automatically rope up and float, just as if you'd left the train. It's very forgiving that way.

Mind you, it's not completely safe out there, even with the shark turned off, but the rest of the risks are a lot more manageable. I'd say give it a try if you can do so without paying for it.
