Hi,

I read in the papers yesterday that it should be opening in March 2006 so you'll be OK. You'd never get me on there I can tell you!!

I understand they are doing trial runs through January, with the opening as Gails says in March - can't wait

Last week a number of lucky cast members were able to participate in testing of Expedition: Everest. The testing also included the filming of a commercial for the attraction, which is being directed by Rob Cohen.

There have been several hints that Expedition: Everest will have its official grand opening press event on April 7. So you can expect to see soft 'openings' due March and if your lucky late Feb.

The new attraction's Web site goes live on January 16th.

It already looks good. They have done a great visual job on it.

We are out there in August as well. I'll be the one staggering off in a state of shock, supported by three laughing boys.

The scheduled opening for the public is Friday April 7th. It has taken 18.7 million pounds of concrete and 5,000 tons of steel in its construction. The peak is 200 feet high and there is a 44inch height restriction for the ride.

It looks really good from the pictures I have seen.

They are doing early opening for Annual Passholders before it is open to the general public, not sure of the dates, will look up Mickey Monitor and try to find out.
