Other than that, and the often spotty onboard audio, it's a basic coaster that you could find at any Six Flags. In fact, I think Revolution at Magic Mountain compares to Screamin' in the thrills department. Everest has themeing, and seems to be more like Big Thunder crossed with Matterhorn. I can't wait to ride it myself some day soon!

Originally Posted By DLFAN1979 ""and seems to be more like Big Thunder crossed with Matterhorn."" And these 2 attractions have MORE and BETTER exectued show scenes COMBINED than EVerest. Thunder and Matterhorn dont have ONE show effect for ONE scene.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss Of course they have more show scenes combined... why wouldn't two attractions have more than one? How many does the Matterhorn by itself have? I count three. The ice crystals, the snowman, and the splashdown. Two of those didn't exist in Walt's day... heck, the mountain was hollow and you could see all the unthemed girders for years and years!

So, it might be just a technical problem that needs to be fixed. I have ridden hundreds of coasters out there, including some of the biggest and fastest ever built. And from what I saw of Everest, well, this is one coaster junkie that just can't wait to ride it! The helices look awesome, as does the backwards section. Althought California Screamin' looks like fun (I still have to ride it yet!), Expedition Everest looks so much more inviting and exciting. Plus, NO LOOPS! Yep, given what I've heard and read, EE looks to be a HUGE winner for DAK & WDW! June can't get here fast enough for me!

Originally Posted By Disney Luver 2006 ok well im going to say no to EVEREST- i saw a great video of it- im sooo upset i lost the link !! =[ ! but o well it definately is short and i think it could have been presented much better- disney has not created a 'top notch' attraction since 1995. TBH- i mean some rides r good but o well- not impressed disney- should have been longer- i mean hell the track is torn apart at 5 seconds into the ride- why not have a bit of a guided tour? then u see the yeti tearing it apart- definately an attraction that had the chance to be great- but failed- and dont support it- u know its not as great as it could have been
