View Full Version : expedition everest for mere mortals yet?
it looks like expedition everest is still not fully open yet, does anyone know if mere mortals can ride it yet or is it still reserved for the gods of the annual mouse pass [?]
Indeed, we go soon too.
Reports anyone?
i'll let you know how we get on paul[msnwink]
Cheers Trev, safe Journey.
They are advertising it extensively now on TV, radio and the billboards are up. Think it is soft opening at the mo but that can be very hit or miss, if you are in the park go up and ask the cast members, you never know your luck.

Well, we went to AK today and you could ride:D on their preview rides. They were operating stand by and fast pass.
We all had a go and VERDICT - very good indeed!!
Won't spoil it though[msnwink]
Expedition Everest is open in everything but name. It passed its handover to the park with ease and has been running for a couple of weeks now. It is still a soft opening so it could close at any time for any reason but given the lack of problems it looks good.
The official opening is still about 6 weeks away but this is the big draw for Disney this year and I guess they will keep it running as much as possible. We go in two weeks so will check it out then.

We go a week after you Dave so keep my seat warm for me.[msnwink]
We went to AK on Wednesday and got on Everest which was running all day. Ride was great but don't want to spoil it for anybody else!
macka, made everest yesterday. very good. got there early on a foggy morning rode standby in 20 minutes then got 4 fast pass and went in front seat. very tricky very sneaky not for the faint hearted!!![msnsmile2]
How scary please - in comparison to say Rock and Roller Coaster - my limit (well actually a bit beyond - but that's a long story)[:I]

Everest not as scary as RnR coaster but still enjoyable. I found RnR gives me a headache, my head seems to bash from side to side! (maybe its just me!)

Cheers Trev, sounds good does this, I'm not one for Big Thrill rides but it's captured my imagination.
Hope it's open when we get there,.
