Expedition EVEREST: The Legend of the Forbidden Mountain was announced by Disney on April 22, 2003. This high speed train adventure will be built between Asia and DinoLand with estimated opening in 2006. The mountain will be approximately one acre in size and that is JUST the mountain. There will also be new walkways and a bridge linking the area of DinoLand near the Theater in the Wild (home of Tarzan Rocks) and the attraction.
On this coaster-type ride guests will travel through the Himalayan Mountains and face the yeti, a creature believed to guard the way to Mount Everest.

When guests climb aboard the train they will travel through bamboo forests, past waterfalls, and along glaciers as the train goes up through the almost 200 foot tall mountain (which is similar in height to Tower of Terror). When the track ends in a mass of twisted metal the train speeds both forward and backward through mountain caverns and icy canyons, and finally into a confrontation with the yeti.

This is from Orlando Rocks.com no specific month has yet been announced.

I had heard Spring of 2006, but I'm not quite sure. All I'm sure of is that the more I hear about this ride and the more I see pictures, the more I want to go on it. I can't wait for a chance to go on it, sometime shortly after it opens.

It could be earilier. Their are reports construction is ahead of schedule. So it may even open by November 2005 (according to reports). But you can definetly count on it being open by April 2006, but don't be surprised if it opened January 2006.
