Expedition Everest (Disney World)

Expedition Everest is a thrilling roller coaster and one of the most popular attractions at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park in Walt Disney World Resort, Florida. The ride is located in the Asia section of the park and takes guests on an exciting journey through the mysterious Himalayan mountains.

The storyline of Expedition Everest revolves around an expedition to Mount Everest, the world’s tallest mountain. Guests board a train called the “Expedition Everest: Legend of the Forbidden Mountain” to embark on their adventure. The ride begins as a serene and scenic train journey, passing through lush forests and ancient ruins.

As the train continues its ascent, riders start to notice signs of danger, including torn tracks and a warning from the Yeti, a mythical creature said to inhabit the mountain. Suddenly, the train encounters a broken track ahead, forcing it to go backward at high speed in a thrilling reverse drop.

The ride then takes guests on a fast-paced, high-speed adventure through twists, turns, and thrilling drops, as they encounter the formidable Yeti in its lair. The animatronic Yeti is one of the most impressive and realistic figures in any Disney attraction, adding to the excitement and immersion of the experience.

Expedition Everest is renowned for its theming and attention to detail, immersing guests in the mystical and dangerous world of the Himalayas. The combination of storytelling, exhilarating coaster elements, and stunning scenery makes it a favorite among thrill-seekers and Disney fans alike.

I am founder and editor of DisneyNews.us. My passion for all things Disney goes pretty far back to my first trip to Walt Disney World in the mid-80's. I have since returned to the magical place more than 20 times. I started this site when I came to the realization that I spent a significant portion of my day reading articles about Disney and watching Disney content with my 8-year old, so it made sense that I would start sharing some of what I read and see and building a little community around it. Other interests include 80's nostalgia, vintage toys, video games, LEGO, Star Wars and tech gadgets. Other site isDMR.
