Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain
Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain is in Asia in Disney's Animal Kingdom. The roller coaster opened on 7 April 2006. You travel by train to "the roof of the world", but a legendary snow monster is said to live in the mountain.
The concept
In a village at the foot of Mount Everest, you board a train heading for the summit. After a steep climb, the train picks up more and more speed. Suddenly you see broken, twisted track ahead of you: the Yeti got there first.
The Experience
You whizz backwards into the dark, deep into the mountain. In the cave you see the shadow of an enormous, growling beast. Then you race back outside and plunge downwards. According to rcdb, you reach around 80 km/h. There are no loops.

Check out the queue
The queue winds through a Tibetan village packed with details about the expedition and the legend of the Yeti.
Scary for children?
Disney warns of loud noises, fast drops, darkness and a scary creature. Not for every child.
Lightning Lane
This attraction is part of Lightning Lane Multi Pass, which lets you choose a time slot in advance and skip the regular queue. You buy passes in the My Disney Experience app; according to Disney, visitors from Europe can only do this after arriving in the US.
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.12 metres (44 inches) tall. Children under 7 must be accompanied by someone aged 14 or over. Pregnant women and people with heart, back or neck problems, high blood pressure or motion sickness are best not to ride.

Escape the Yeti
Expedition Everest is the most thrilling roller coaster in Animal Kingdom. The mountain is a lovely sight in the evening too.
