God knows I am the first one to advise people NOT TO base their opinions on video, which is how many others have written off the virtues of TDR on this and many boards. My bad then.

You are also one of the first (only because you get there so often, unlike the rest of us, you rat) to applaud Disney when they give us what we should expect from them.

Originally Posted By Blackie Pueblo Hey everyone just got back and I took my sneak peak on Everest! I thought the ride was great! It starts off kinda slow but it really fits in with the ride. It's suppose to be a train so it will start slow. I didn't realize how high this sucker is either until the train starts the climb! One of the complaints i have is when it reaches the top the train stops and you see the track in front of you tore in pieces. It seems to take too long before anything happens. I'm assuming the track is switching, but man, you just sit there for several seconds. Then you go shooting backwards down the mountain! Awesome! And the animated shadow you see of the Yeti is a bit cheesy, yes, but it really lets freaks you out cause you know when you take off again, you are going to see that thing in person! And when you do, my opinion, is that thing is slamming! It looks huge and the animatronics of it reaching out to you made my jaw drop. Granted you whip by it very fast, but that adds to the illusion of, did I just see the Yeti?? And I have heard complaints about the que. Granted moving through the buildings might seem a little dull, but if you pay attention it really gets you ready for the exbition you are about to embark on. And I think they did an awesome job in the Yeti "museum" they set up as you pass through. They have a bunch of "footprint casts" and such. But the best is the items found found the last team that, "disappeared" from the mountain! You gotta see it. They have the tent that looks ripped up, equipment trashed, and fake blurred photos from the "camera" that was found! Great job! Did I use the word awesome enough? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <a href="http://www.newlineagefilms.com" target="_blank">http://www.newlineagefilms.com</a>
