One of the most thrilling coasters Disney has ever built. This is not a kids ride, but kids who are experienced with other coasters will probably love it.

Expedition Everest at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a thrilling roller coaster experience that takes guests on an expedition through the Himalayas in search of the elusive Yeti. The ride begins with a scenic and suspenseful journey through a beautifully detailed Himalayan village before the coaster takes you on a high-speed, intense adventure, including a dramatic backward drop. The highlight of the attraction is the encounter with the Yeti, which, despite being a bit of a mystery due to the Yeti’s animatronics not always working perfectly, still delivers a spine-chilling experience. The ride’s combination of smooth track work, immersive theming, and unexpected twists makes it a must-do for thrill-seekers at the park. It’s one of the standout attractions at Animal Kingdom for its impressive set design, atmosphere, and adrenaline-pumping thrills.

It was a bit of a wait but very much worth it! The line for the ride went inside lots of cool themed buildings and had lots of things to look at while waiting. The ride was thrilling going up and around the mini Mount Everest, through dark caves in the mountain, and lots of encounters with wild yetis!! 😉

One of the best and fastest rides in any of the Disney parks. This will surely give you some thrills. It’s a great ride, good concept, decent drips and speed and watch out for the ‘surprise’ truck issues. When the strobe lighting starts, remember to look up and to the right. 😃

This roller coaster ranks in top 5 among all Disney rides, imho. Ride itself is very entertaining and thrilling. And it’s very picturesque; the view of the ride ascending the mt Everest is very iconic. But what makes this ride separates from others is the ‘curated’ wait line. Wait time of 30-60 minutes felt like nothing because you are so immersed into looking at Himalayan artifacts. It’s almost like a museum. This is one ride I wouldn’t use the lightning lane privileges.
