Originally Posted By kennect Nothing I say sounds right but I have to say this...We hear complaints about Disney park queue's(sp?) no longer are of importance...Well this attraction seems to rely heavily on the build up to it....Is this an exception based on previous company statements about such or is Disney seriously committed here in the states to spitting out a true major attraction from time to time? And if anything I said above made sense please comment on it...Hopefully some of you will get my drift....

Originally Posted By Blackie Pueblo I agree with you kennect. A lot of the Disney magic is in the ride queues and I think they really put the heart back into this one. All the little details help build excitement of the rides, and this one does an excellent job. I hope the ride lives up to the expectations!

Like that will happen...oh well, I can dream!

Originally Posted By Murcielago89 Wow, Expedition Everest looks Fantastic, I might change my usual winter visit to February for it. One downside, though, do you think this means the end of any possible Fire Mountain/Bald Mountain, etc. attraction ever showing up at the MK?

Originally Posted By whtrabbit67 Ooooo.....this looks wicked cool! I have never been to WDW ever but with all that I see on this site it makes me want to go. So this ride is opening in May? Just in time for a b-day trip maybe? "-) I was wondering about the little village but in reading the other comments now know that this is the qeue line. I think it looks great and applaud the imagineers for a ride line where it's more than a "cattle call". Mooo! "- D
