Everest is not scary it is a family ride. The yeti is not scary he is cute and fun loving and my best friend. WDW and Disney in general try to make their things family related so everyone can ride it. It is not scary trust me.

Go to CL_Swordsman's post of the pic of the actual yeti! Then tell me it is not scary!! LOL and those teeth he has.. my what big teeth you have mr. yeti LOL.....

I think people who have ridden the ride already are saying....

It's much scarier and thrilling than Big Thunder Mountain...

But:

Not as bad as Rock 'n' Roller coaster...

LOL, i know it's not scary but the Last drop :|
Whoah, I saw the actual yeti.. what happened to its red eyes..
LOL the Yeti is cute huh.. why is he chasing us O_O

Yup, I can't wait till I go back there...

Dudes.. for real,
don't scare me ;) I'm already a chicken..

~Cake

................you go down that 80 foot drop....... backwards?..............- runs away - - runs all the way to Hawaii -

Pause. Stop. Rewind. BACKWARDS?!
Family ride, eh?

~Cake

yea oyu zoom up track and slow down just in tiome at the top and then at a rather quick accelration down an 80 foot backward drop at the angle of splash mountain and just to find a slobbery yeti waiting for you to spit on you and such. lol yep good ride I want to ride so bad my friend went on it!

oh, and all the little kids will love the 80 feet backwards drop...
rofl
HAHA i do not know which ride you are talking about but there is no 80 foot drop backwards. There is an 80 ft drop really smooth forwards. The backwards portion is just a helix (a spin in a 360 curve going slightly down). Trust me if you are tall enough you will love everest.

It looks...interesting :@@:.

It looks great :D.

I'm losing it.. backwards or forwards?!
LOL

~Cake

So this is a family ride.. Oh yeah i could just see someone's grandma riding that thing! LOL We!! We!! Oh my teeth! They fell out! LOL

I'm losing it.. backwards or forwards?!
LOL

~Cake
LOL it goes both ways. Backwards in one part and forwards most of the ride lol

So this is a family ride.. Oh yeah i could just see someone's grandma riding that thing! LOL We!! We!! Oh my teeth! They fell out! LOL

OMG!
ROFL! 'Oh my Teeth!' haha
Backwards or Forwards, i dont think my mother will ride it!

~Cake

well i say the yeti is creeeeeeeeeepy really "blah" uh teeth probably smells bad

I can not wait till my wedding to go on Everest. It looked so creative and fun, almost like Big Thunder Mountain.

I think it looks scary. I guess I will find out how scary it is this weekend!!

It does not look scary, but looking at the mountain itself is very intimidating. Ahhh, I just can't wait to come face to fur with the Yeti lol.

No...lol, it's pretty cool!

Everest is not scary it may look scary but come on who can't like the yeti.

oh, and all the little kids will love the 80 feet backwards drop...
rofl
LOOOOOOOOL *sighs* There an 80 feet backwards drop?! whoa! I think I'd rather stick to It's a small world lol jk :)
~Chaelle

LOOOOOOOOL *sighs* There an 80 feet backwards drop?! whoa! I think I'd rather stick to It's a small world lol jk :)
There is not a 80ft Drop Backwards.

it looks cool i think it rox. lolz...

I never go on any roller coasters. 1. :sick8: Bleahh! I would get sick. 2. :shifty: waaayyyy too fast for me.

well, all I know is that I'm reeeally scary (even the Haunted Mansion ride still scares me, lol) but it looks SO cool, and I guess I'll try it.. everyone on fan site remember me if I don't come back..

So this is a family ride.. Oh yeah i could just see someone's grandma riding that thing! LOL We!! We!! Oh my teeth! They fell out! LOL
Hey man, to let you know my grandma went on the Tower of Terror ALONE at night when it used to go up and down all the way three times. - Go grandma -

KEBSD

But, isn't the whole ride in general, Funster close your eyes, 199 feet? That's what I heard.....

I Already Rode Everest It's AWESOME!!! It Get an 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 In Grade For Speed Drops, Tight Curves And Awesome Yeti!

BACKWARDS? I can just imagine me: Being squeezed against the bar with spit flying out of my mouth...
AH! I will still go on it

Is the drop as "scary" as the drop on Splash Mountain?
And by "scary", I mean not scary lol

i've heard the drop you get is the Splash Mountain drop.. not sure tho
Woot Woot! Go Yeti!
LOL
Good escape route ;)

~Cake

But, isn't the whole ride in general, Funster close your eyes, 199 feet? That's what I heard.....
The ride goes 199ft you only drop 80ft and it is really smooth it is not bumpy at all.

wat is everest?

wat is everest?
It is the new ride Expedition Everest at Walt Disney World opening in the spring. It is a roller coaster with the Yeti.

Here are just a few notes that most members are tripping over frequently.


The total height of the mountain 199ft. If it was 200ft, they would have to put a beacon at the top for aerial travel
The drop IS NOT backwards
You will travel through HELIXES backwards, not big drops
The steam engine is in the BACK of the train, not at the front. This is probably why members think that the drop is backwards when they see the engine coming down last.

just incase you dont know what the ride looks like look here http://www.bigfloridacountry.com/everest01-18-2006.mov

Some people are still puzzled about everest. thank you for clearing it up.

Everesy rocks.. and that is final!!

the everest ride look so much fun! It'll be a lot longer than TTD I hope, lol. That was exhilarating, this looks like fun though. Can't wait untill like 2 years, lol. I went on vacation and came back a week before it opened, grness.

here is a pic of the yeti!
http://i30.****************/albums/c314/eagle2401/Yeti.jpg

I would claim Everest the best theme coaster not the best ride best theme. The ride is cool but not like some of the hyper coaster that our out there. But that was disney does make it have the best theme it can have. Bravo to Disney Imagineers.

^^ person above you are a little late but thanks for adding it to this thread. :-) yeti so cute.

oh, and all the little kids will love the 80 feet backwards drop...
rofl

yup my cousin with be screaming with joy

lol idk what u guys tlaking about but it must be scary

wait ithere are loops does it go up side down at any pointe do u go upside down

wait ithere are loops does it go up side down at any pointe do u go upside down
No Everest does not go upside down. Only backwards around helix and an 80ft drop going FORWARD.

omg i cant wait i am going up this weekend i am so xited !!!

The Passholder previews start Friday!!

Actually, Passholder owners can start riding tomorrow. We are most likely going Fri., Sat., and Sun. I also heard when you go on it you get a free E.E Pin and Lanyard.

Passholders can only ride tomorrow during a set amount of time. I thought it was only between 10am-12pm, but their media day was today. During the official passholder weekend, Annual Premium Pass Holders can ride at any time during the day (this applies to regular Passholders), as many times as they wish (I am not sure about the regulars, but the Annual Premium Passholders can ride as many times as they want). You only get one pin and lanyard per person per day.

It is the new ride Expedition Everest at Walt Disney World opening in the spring. It is a roller coaster with the Yeti.
sounds fun now LOL

I think it looks scary. I guess I will find out how scary it is this weekend!!

im with you just not about the weekend part :)

It's not that scary....O_o the only part that is, is when your going up....and you can see most of AK @_@...

I think people who have ridden the ride already are saying....

It's much scarier and thrilling than Big Thunder Mountain...

But:

Not as bad as Rock 'n' Roller coaster...

Not as bad as Rock 'n' rollercoaster? I think your wrong LOL Rock n rollercoaster is a very nice ride all it does is go suppperrrr fast in the begingging and pulls your head back but its not bad!! Everest is worst but i love it... im not saying everest is a bad ride but its alot more intense than Rock n rollercoaster!!! I LOVEDDDDD EVEREST!!! The drop made my brother whos alot older than me was like DIZZZZZY! O_o when the backward drop was going in goes around in circles! LOL But the drop itself?!?!?! OMG I had a heartattack because we were first in front of the whollllllllle train!! Like has anyone ever seen in Disney 411 where jason earles and the other guy got the front fronttttt row? I was sitting there too! OMG when i saw the drop and saw no bottom to it i was like MOMMYYY!! LOL In the picture i came out laughing holding on to my bar and 1 arm holding on my moms hand! It was scarrrry the drop that is. But i loved it all! Terrific work Disney two thumbs up :D

So this is a family ride.. Oh yeah i could just see someone's grandma riding that thing! LOL We!! We!! Oh my teeth! They fell out! LOL

oh, and all the little kids will love the 80 feet backwards drop...
rofl

Even though this post is old, LOL, funny, I have been on it, it is pretty much like Spalsh Mountain, but you don't get wet, and you don't see anything, hardly. (Sit In The Back...)

LOL, I really want to ride it. My dad will go on it with me when we go next time. :D And yeah I'll remember that 80ft drop. Oh well, I survived The Tower of Terror, this should be better than that.

I LOVED the ride... sure, I lost my voice for a few days... uhm, but... it was awesome @_@...

I LOVE this ride! We rode it twice! It's my all time favorite Disney Coaster, along with Splash Mountain, Rock N' Roller Coaster, and Space Mountain :D I didn't think it was that scary, but it was loads of fun!

It ROCKS! :bnyikes:

i'm scared of Rolller Coasters! there, I admit it. I have been on little roller coasters, but they feel weird. What should I do if I go on a roller coaster?

Even if you pay me I won't go on Everest... I dont like rollercoasters!

Ru Ru :mickeymo:

Try to clear your mind i know it sounds difficult but if you clear your mind it will help you face the fear. Think about something else or try to enjoy the ride. You never have to be forced to go onto a ride remember that. If you dislike roller coasters i would start small and work your way up. It usually helps people and i told the people this exact same thing and after 2 rides on a looping roller coaster they loved all roller coasters.

i would love to ride it but i would be scared to, i had this dream about this roller coaster, it was super scary.

lolz anyways, it looks shorta fun.

ppl cation this is the yeti 21785 and u say he is cute i would LOVE t go on the ride

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! Save Me!!!!!

It's not the ride that's doesn't make you not want to go on the ride, it's your anticipation that does it. Do not overthink the ride. Just get in line and ride. This is what I see a lot of times:
Person 1: I don't want to ride. Noooooo. It's too scary!
Person 2: Come on, please ride. I can't go on if you're not. Please!
Person 1: Noooooo. It's too scary!
Person 1 finally drags person 2 on the ride.
Person 2: Omg! That ride was so awesome! Let's ride again!

Sometimes, the ride you're most of afraid to go on, is later you most favorite ride.;)

well i want to ride really badly! but when i went in late june i went with older people so they either didn't want to ride or couldn't ride (i.e. high blood pressure, heart problems) so i didn't get to ride :( but the yeti looks really scarry!!!! i have no clue how the ride programers couls stand right in front of it and watch it come right at you and not flinch >_< if i became one of them and had to do that i would be scared but if it WAS my job i'd be right in the yeti's face! lol

Well i went on it. Its not that scary. When you backwards it felt like i was flying or something which was pretty awesome!! :D But when the yeti came i was too scared to look! LOL Now i no what he looks like.... and he is perrty cool :)

ppl cation this is the yeti 21785 and u say he is cute i would LOVE t go on the ride

The Yeti is cute. Even if they arent real, and dont exsist.

Guys, i rode the ride, it is AWSOME. The first time i rode it, i was in THE BACK. The most intense part. The ride is great but i reccomend it for thrill seekers
If i ever make a chart, which i guess i am now, the lowest is less intese and highest is most intense, i give it a 6.8 Intense.

:tiki8gt: Coocody:tiki8gt:
Breaking down the barricade to the true vmk

k night peeps

Its was Good I just thought it would be a little bit better

Everst is scary take it from me because i went on it by myself because everyone i went with was scared. it goes fast and there is a big fall at the end. Also in the mountain it is pitch black so you cant see anything that is going to happen.

omigosh that seems so cool i wish i could go on and being scared is the point of the ride but if you are really freaked out close your eyes and it seems like nothing is happening except when yopur on mission space at launch i was freaked out bc i thought my skin was peeling off after launch i was fine lol

Why did I stumble upon this thread again?
~Chaelle

I just had a dream that I was riding this ride, but right before it started, I
woke up. Maybe someday...

Well to me it looks like a very themed and thrilling ride. Just like Journey to
The Center Of the Earth!

everest is a reall mountain in china. i study it alot, its not just a ride

here is a pic of the yeti!
http://i30.****************/albums/c314/eagle2401/Yeti.jpg

GROSS TOTALLY GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek: :( :mad:

everest isnt scary at all a rode it three times trust me its not as scary as it looks

ppl cation this is the yeti 21785 and u say he is cute i would LOVE t go on the ride

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW EVEN MORE GROSS!!!!!!:( :mad: :eek:

Everyone on here says the yeti is cute and their best friend but it is SO NOT!!! The yeti is totally gross and scary. Anyone who thinks he is cute is such a total WEIRDO!!!!!!!

Everyone says it is scary it is no not scary and not that fast. Try going on Tower of Tower and Rock'n Roller Coaster a lot I mean a lot! And Sheekra at Busch Gardens. HUH!!! You people are babies if you think thats scary!

Ewww... I think the VMK Yeti looks better. I'm scared of everest now becsue of how the yeti looks.:D But really, The ups and downs are freaky! :eek: I'm not going on it even if you payed me all VMK cards.

One thing about Expedition Everest; I love the ride, even though, guess what, I HATE ROLLER COASTERS! :eek:

So, I sit in the very front, which contrary to popular belief is NOT the most intense ride. (This theory has been tried many times by myself on rides such as Star Tours and Big Thunder Mountain; the back of the train gives the best/scariest ride with more air time and whip action.) Anyways, I sit in the very front so if I lean forward I don't even feel the drop at all! :cool:

And going backwards is so cool! It is a bit unexpected in a way, because for some reason everyone in my party was expecting to be turning to the right when we were going backwards, but we ended up turning to the left; quite disorienting.

A bit of advice if it's scary to you; sit in front and go on a VERY sunny day. Even in the middle of the mountain you'll be able to see stuff. ;)

i love the rock n' roll roller coaster!

oh, and all the little kids will love the 80 feet backwards drop...
rofl


One, it is not backwards, and two, when you go backwards you do a couple turns, and 3, I'm a huge chicken and loved it, it's not as scary as people make it seem.

Ill go on everest if somone says it has an 80 foot backwards drop i really dislike drops but backwards is better than forwards. now stop saying that im a chicken and im going to force myself to go on the ride because everyone is making it sound fun.

Some tips for chickens like me:
Go on the ride in the winter when your frozen the drops are like nothing in the winter to me
Have your friend blind fold you until you get on the ride. LOL

I've been on it twice! There is no back wards drop!!!!!!!

i didn't think so i thought you just went backwards down a small slope but someone else said it so etc. well i guess im going on it in the winter

I've been on it twice! There is no back wards drop!!!!!!!

actually no offense but you are sort of wrong. You actuallu drop backwards, in fact you have too, if you didnt you wouldnt have the the momentum to be able to climb at that steep hill. Anyway back on topic, everest is okay.... I mean depending the type of rollercoastergoer you are it is difficult to say...

I have a question...
If I can ride the Tower of Terror, can I ride Everest?? :p haha

I have a question...
If I can ride the Tower of Terror, can I ride Everest?? :p haha

Yes big yes!!!!!

Everest is mostly about themeing not a big thrill seekers camp out. If Everest was not themeing there would be 150-200ft drops. Still a great ride.


And there is a drop backwards about 10-20ft. Not that big it just gives you speed to go through some helixs then up a short hill.

NO 80FT DROP BACKWARDS!!!!

YES 80FT DROP FORWARDS!!!!

i still am scared to go on Everest...

i screamed and on the pic you dont want to know

i screamed and on the pic you dont want to know

Let me guess you barfed on the pic ;) does anybody have pic of the 80ft FORWORDS drop:confused:

Everest is not scary it is a family ride. The yeti is not scary he is cute and fun loving and my best friend. WDW and Disney in general try to make their things family related so everyone can ride it. It is not scary trust me.
well if they do that what about Tower Of Terror??

well if they do that what about Tower Of Terror??

Tower of Terror is still family oriented i have seen little kids get on that ride. It all depends on if you can handle the exiliration of the ride that is all. Tower or Terror is more of a Teen ride i agree but as i have said little kids can go onto it too.

im going to WDW in a few weeks for fall break..so ill be able to ride it!!! woot!!!

We went this year, and my five year old, (then four) rode it and laughed the entire time. I could not get him back on it but he did not freak out. I actually loved the smoothness of this ride. When I finished the ride, I did not feel like I had just taken a beating from the one eyed, one horned flying purple people eater. :)

Everest looked scary to me but half of me was like "Oh come on you wimp it'll be fun!!" when the other one was like "NO WAY" When I finaly draged myself to the riding cart thingy I was shaking fuirouisly. I calmed down right before we went upside down LOL and I kept hearing these shreking sounds and turns out I was making most of them and my friend too. LOL It was a awesome ride and I would have definatly rode it 4 more times if I hadn't thought I was going to pass out from dehydration (spelling?) -.-

LOL I'll have to remember the one eyed, one horned flying people eater from now on xD

its not scary! its the best ride ever! i went on it 6 times in a row! and then the next day i went on it 3 more times!! woot!!

I still don't want to go on but my dad wants me too... I already will not go on the Tower Of Terror!


-Teal

Expedition Everest is not as scary as you think it is. Just go on it, I'll bet you will want to go again. If you can go on Rock N' Roller Coaster, you can go on Everest. Everest does not go upside down, like Rock N' Roller Coaster does. And you don't go as fast. On the Rock N' Roller Coaster, you go 67 miles per hour. Rock N' Roller Coaster goes from 0 to 67 in 2.86 seconds. Where as Everest only goes about half that speed.

I can't even go on Rock N' Roller Coaster :D and that's because I am scared...

I didn't think it was all that bad, but then again I got a great way to be unscared.. think about something else.

I was thinking about choking all during that ride. That was the least enjoyable WDW trip I have ever been on. I was coughing through the whole ride and when we went down that drop, I was doubled over with my eyes closed trying to breathe. Ug.

I like ToT so I doubt that would be scary for me anyways =D

I am not a roller coaster fan at all, but I always try each ride at least once. I have to say, I liked Everest due to the smoothness of the ride. No jerking, lumps, bumps or neck wrenches. I laughed most of the time.
I dislike ToT, but didn't hate it. I think it took about 30 mins for my stomach to catch back up with me.
And the Rocking Rollercoaster, well, let's say I did it, and won't be doing it again. It lives up to it's name.
Mission Space ( I did the green side) and loved it. Laughed as I watched the big macho men ahead of me (who took the orange to impress their dates) walk out very green. I don't do spinning of any kind, and orange is all about spinning.
Soaring was wonderful, and I am afraid of heights. This ride did not scare me at all, it amazed me.

i went in the front 30 times in a row and i did not throw up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i went in the front 30 times in a row and i did not throw up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

your stomach must be made of iron ;)

i wish i could ride.... but my mom says were going in april :woohoo:

i went in the front 30 times in a row and i did not throw up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sounds doubtful....... and I mean the 30 times in the front row and all. everest is not too scary ecept for the steep hill incline in pitch darkness portion and the yeti, and the drop- so I guess it is that FUN scary effect.

2 words its kewl
how could it be scary! lol it looks awesome! lol

I dont see it as scary.

I love it.

i rode it, it was my first roller coaster and it wasnt scary at all nothing what i expected it would be like even though i had seen some videos ppl made while riding

oh, and all the little kids will love the 80 feet backwards drop...
rofl

that is a lie, the one in WDW goes backwards, and is about a thirty foot drop, but none going backwards.

To confirm everything up...
Yes it does go backwards

and yes it is an 80 foot drop - but not backwards :)

I have proof it is 80... splash mountain has a 50-60 feet drop... I remember reading in a Disney magazine that Everest would be the most biggest drop in WDW.

I asked a CM how long the drop was and it is 80 feet :)

technically the official drop is 120 ft. but they included the turn at the bottom since it is slanted down a little but it is only 80 ft. normal drop without the turn at the bottom included

technically the official drop is 120 ft. but they included the turn at the bottom since it is slanted down a little but it is only 80 ft. normal drop without the turn at the bottom included

Uh, no?

Everest's drop is 80ft with the turn-around element included. The only element in the ride that meets or exceeds 120ft is the chain lift itself.

~Oranges

I don't think it looks scary i think it looks ******** cool!

Can u plz not say bad words ???

According to my friend (I haven't ridden Everest yet), if you can handle Rockin' Rollar Coaster, you can handle Everest.

Go to CL_Swordsman's post of the pic of the actual yeti! Then tell me it is not scary!! LOL and those teeth he has.. my what big teeth you have mr. yeti LOL.....

What pic? Can I see?

It really isn't that scary.
When I went to DisneyWorld I went on Everest and I took my mom on it. -.-
My mother hates Roller Coaster type attractions. But she loved it!
At first you might think, "It's going to be really scary!" But it is a very fun and fasinating ride.

~Dsny

I admit the ride is not scary. The mountain it self is a scary site. But IMO you enjoy it more if you go into it thinking that, there are always some first ride jitters. I love the ride and it is the best ride at any one of the 4 parks in WDW Florida WOOT WOOT. Rock N Roller Coaster is the 2nd best Rollercoaster and is also awesome, but my #1 must see at WDW is Expedition Everest, it free can rocks big time! I love to ring the bells in line Woot, u have to wake up the Yeti!

Scary? It's *******' cool!!! Backwards, forwards, stops, yeti shadows, awesome sound effects! My sisters said they got a headache after the ride, but I was sitting there giggling after 20 seconds of the ride! I' coaster freak, so its hard not to find a fast, dark ride that I'm not going to like.

Uh, no?

Everest's drop is 80ft with the turn-around element included. The only element in the ride that meets or exceeds 120ft is the chain lift itself.

~Oranges

no the AP said it was 120 ft. a few days before it opened but they included the turn bc it slightly drops down some

Doesn't look scary to me...looks wicked sweet! XD.
