Expedition Everest
Feb. 5th, 2010 10:53 pmProbably, my favorite part of Disney is the roller coasters. Animal Kingdom has one called Expedition Everest. It's quite good.
This is the view from the line. That's not Mount Everest. Everest is the next one over, that you can't quite see. If this mountain were real, it would be the fourth highest point in Florida.
I was quite impressed with the decoration and architecture at the parks, particularly Animal Kingdom. The Asia section was dressed up like a Himalayan town. I imagine, to someone who has been there, this doesn't look much like the real thing, but it sure looked realistic to me. It was a mix of intricately carved woodwork, and dilapidated modern. There were storefronts outfitted to look like expedition outfitters, and things like that.
I was standing in line for the ride, and I looked up at the carved rafters over my head. I thought, for a moment, wow, is that authentic? Like they'd actually brought it from Tibet (I wouldn't put it past them) Then I realized it was carved with the yeti motif, so, no. But it really did look like it was a hundred years old. Very weathered and worn. After going through a temple area, we went through a little outfitter shop, and then the Yeti museum.
