The top of the first lift looks just about finished. I can't wait to see what this area will look like once the foliage is planted, and you can actually see it from the ride.

Does this mean it will be a double 'E' ticket? I surely think so. I am really looking forward to seeing the finish put on the mountain and the themeing that goes along with this. This ride is going to be awesome!

Unofficially though, current reports peg the official grand opening will be April 22nd, 2006...Earth day, AK's 8th B-day and the third anniversary of Everest's announcement
