About

Journey into the Himalayas on the thrilling Expedition Everest. While traveling the base of Mount Everest on an old railway, your train unexpectedly reaches a dead end and an attack from the abominable snowman. Expedition Everest features drops, banked turns, and even goes both forward and backwards. Because this coaster features no inversions like in Rock 'N' Rollercoaster, it may be approachable by those who want a more intense experience than Space Mountain but still aren't ready to face loops and corkscrews while at Disney World. Expedition Everest is a good thrill and definitely worth repeat visits.

Tips and Trivia

  • Avoid long lines by taking advantage of the single rider line!
  • For varying experiences, try riding Expedition Everest at the very front and the very back of the train.
