Expedition Everest - Disney's Animal Kingdom

Ranked #8,333 in Travel & Places, #219,092 overall

Take a ride into the Himalayas!

Disney's Animal Kingdom is one of my favorite Disney theme parks and it contains one of my favorite steel coasters, Expedition Everest! This steel roller coaster takes you deep into the Himalayas only to find the Yeti waiting for you. The Yeti is so enraged by you taking over her mountain that she tries to make your escape impossible. Can you escape from the mountain unscathed?

My rating of Expedition Everest

Expedition Everest is a unique roller coaster that really shows how much theming can really add to a ride. The Expedition Everest Yeti is a sight truly to behold. If this coaster did not have the theme around it, it would not rank nearly as high. However, it is a fun thrill ride that the whole family can enjoy together.

My rating:

    One of our rides on Everest, the ride broke down while we were at the top. We had to wait until they came to get us out of the cars, and then we walked down 8 flights of stairs inside. Of course they gave us free passes to return, but the experience of seeing the inside of the mountain was very cool!

    I bet! Oh, how I would love to see the intricate inside of that mountain as you did.
