Expedition Everest is AWESOME!

Today was the last day in 2006 that Claire and I could go to Disney. Our annual passes run out this week so we decided to hit up 2 parks, Animal Kingdom and MGM. We've been to Magic Kingdom and Epcot so much that we felt we should go to the other two.

First we went to MGM to ride on the Aerosmith Ride (someone gave us their fast passes so we went right to the head of the line without waiting) and that was totally bad ass. Then we decided to go to Tower of Terror which is a trip all on its own. The wait wasn't even too bad either. Up and down up and down WEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

Animal Kingdom was next (we were only going on the thrill rides today) and the only thrill ride there is Expedition Everest. This ride is soooo COOL! The wait was like 70 minutes but that wasn't that bad. They built a whole new area for Expedition Everst in the Asia section of Animcal Kingdom and its so new that it doesn't even show up on any of the maps. The ride itself is really tall and you can see it almost as clearly as you can see the Tree of Life in the middle of the park. They had this whole thing about the Yeti that guards Mt. Everest while you're walking in the line which was cool and I have some pics of it too. The ride itself was sweet, it raises you up pretty high, some of the ride is within the artificial mountain and part of the ride even goes backwards! There's a HUGE Yeti at the end of the ride but since I don't wear my glasses on roll coasters I didn't get a good look at him. There aren't any loops or things of that sort on this coaster but thats ok. The presentation is awesome and this is one coaster I could ride over and over again because its so fun. Anyway, enjoy the pictures!
