Expedition Everest |
This popular thrill ride takes guests on a rickety tea plantation train up and into 199-foot-tall Forbidden Mountain on the way to Mount Everest. Once inside the chilly mountain interior, you’ll have a startling encounter with the fearsome Yeti—part god, part beast—and the largest and most complex Audio-Animatronics figure ever built. Banished, you’ll hurtle through darkness and even ride backward. The coaster has several steep drops and sharp turns, and some parts are very intense. The incredibly detailed queue snakes through a Himalayan village filled with artifacts, a museum, and a Yeti shrine. Single rider line available. 44”/112 cm. height restriction. Health warning. Must transfer from wheelchair to ride.

Awesome ride. It is so much fun. I love when you see the Yeti and then go backwards. It is very thrilling. I could ride it over and over again.

The very first time i rode it was back when the yeti actually worked and I just wish they would fix him, but it is still a fun ride that gratefully doesn't leave me with a headache like some of the other coasters in Disney

Great queue, awesome ride. Too bad they can't figure out how to make the yeti work.

With the new later hours you must ride in the dark, so much more intense!

One of the best queues in all of Walt Disney World, one of best themed attractions too. Oh yeah, and also one of the best rides!

Great coaster, but for the love of all things Disney, fix the Yeti.

What is better than a really good roller coaster? How about one that goes backwards? I loved this ride.

Best roller coaster in Disney, Great setting and exciting ride.
Big G gave this a rating of 10 on 06/05/2016 at 5:59:40 pm EDT
I wish I could give this ride an 11. Worth the wait to get the first row if you want a spectacular view. I love the deceptive buildup to the first thrill. I rode it 14 times in a row one day. Absolutely my favorite WDW attraction.

Best ride at AK! Smooth coaster with great views at the highest point. The queue is very entertaining.

Awesone

Excellent coaster, the detail in the queue is amazing too (although would typically use FP+ or single rider as the waits can get long).

So much fun, and a really smooth coaster. The view from the first hill is awesome!
