Some people I think need turmoil or negativity in their life to feel better.
Originally Posted By wahooskipper Well, I have now seen front seat video of Everst and DLFan is dead on. It is a bust. Yep, no doubt about it. First, the ride has no real depth. Everything was so two dimensional. The environment? Well, frankly, it smelled like the woman in the office next to me which was bad show. Frankly, in terms of the ride experience it felt like I was standing still and not moving at all. Sarcasm aside, I want to go up and ride it now more than I did before I saw the video. This is no cookie cutter rollercoaster that you could find at any Six Flags park. The theme, which is so important to so many people here, looked immersive. The Yeti looked pretty cool in the brief pass and the video Yeti was also pretty cool. Too bad the timing at each couldn't have been reversed. The first lift into some twisting terrain travel was cool. Obviously, it will take a REAL ride for me to form a complete opinion but it looks pretty promising to me.

Originally Posted By danyoung >oh wait lol the guy was being sarcastic! Im sorry, im too used to dealing with negative ninnys.< You obviously don't have much experience with our friend DLFAN1979, originally known as OTOWN. He was not being sarcastic - he was totally serious in his breathless rant against Everest. He's the first to leap on the slightest thing that might maybe in some way be perceived as anything wrong with any element of the Disney company. His posts are usually followed by a host of others refuting what he's said, disagreeing with his discussions, or basically pleading with him to get a life. It makes for interesting discussions, tho!
