Beware! If you have ridden Disney’s “Big Thrills” rides before and vowed
never to ride again, Expedition Everest may not be the ride for you. This
trek to Everest on a rickety train in search of the infamous Yeti is a heart
pounding thrill ride.
Before
you and other brave souls board the train to Everest you take a leisurely
stroll through a travel agency and trading posts. In both places you have
the opportunity to look through others journeys to Everest. Photographs and
real gear make themselves interesting items to peruse while waiting to board
your own train to Everest. If you have a PAL Mickey he comes in handy while
you wait at Expedition Everest.
Before
you know it you will head towards the train tracks where you board a
mountain train destined for Everest, two people to a car. As your train
heads out the ride is slow and the climb is large. Anticipation of the “Big
Thrill” begins to set in when you and the other train riders discover that
the tracks have been destroyed. No longer able to go forward up the mountain
there is only one choice… backwards! Hang on tight and get ready to scream
as the train furiously travels backwards and forwards through canyons,
glaciers and the dark. If you are brave enough to keep your eyes open you
may encounter the legendary Yeti!
Expedition Everest is an exciting trip in search of the legend that everyone
is curious about, the abominable snowman. So make sure you are at least 44
inches (113cm) or taller, pack your gear and board the train that will have
you screaming in just minutes.
