What to expect

Expedition Everest is Animal Kingdom's major roller coaster and one of Disney's most richly themed thrill rides. Guests board a train bound for the Himalayas, only to encounter broken track, backward motion, dark ride scenes, and the legendary Yeti. Opened in 2006, the attraction was one of the most expensive roller coasters ever built at the time and remains a centerpiece of the park's Asia section.
