Expedition Everest is the newest attraction at
the Animal Kingdom, and is destined to be one
of the top
thrill rides in all of Walt Disney World!
Expedition Everest sends guests on a high-speed
train adventure into the Himalayas for a face-to-muzzle
encounter
with the legendary Yeti.
Your adventure begins with a trek through the
village of Serka Zong, located
in the
foothills of the Himalayas. The
Himalayan Escapes Tour Company, run by a pair
of entrepreneurs named
Norbu
and Bob, have
refurbished a steam train
that used to bring harvested
tea leaves down from the mountains. You'll need
to board this train for your journey to the
base camp of Mount Everest. It promises to
be a long journey, but fortunately (?) for
you, you'll be taking a shortcut that passes
through the forbidden
mountain. Unfortunately, this same forbidden
mountain is rumored to be guarded
by the Yeti, a fierce protector of the mountains,
valleys and forests. He apparently doesn't
take to kindly to man's
encroachment in
these
areas...
Super high hills and
backwards drops highlight this heart-stopping
attraction, and the group
of Imagineers that brought Expedition Everest
to life promise that this will be an experience
unlike
any
you've ever had!
