    Everest on tv last night

    did anyone see last nights holiday programme on the bbc at 7pm?

    they had a feature on the new Everest ride at AK, there was a guy from britain who is one of britains best mountain climbers and he had conquered the real Everest

    they where comparing the setting of Everest in animal kingdom with the real thing (the country, it's buildings etc) and the mountain climber was very impressed and said it was all very realistic and the attention to detail was fab

    it showed footage of them on the actual ride and it looked fantastic[clap][clap][clap]

    now i just have to wait another 9 months before i can experience it for myself[msncry]

    Went on it on Sunday. It's fab. My 4 year old was tall enough to go on it too. If they measure you and you reach the height limit they stamp your hand with YETI. My son thought this was really cool and loved the ride too.

    someone has already posted a video link somewhere on the site Jackie

    but it looks a bit like big thunder mountain but as you go up you come to a section where the track has been ripped up and there's no way forward so yep! you guessed it a huge drop backwards[msneek]
    it looks very fast and last night they said speeds of up to 50 miles per hour and an 80ft drop[msnscared] and of course there's still the yeti to meet!

    that would usually be enough to put me off but i think i'm gonna be brave and give it a go[msneek]

    Linda, did your 4 year old find it frightening, or just good fun?
