Expedition Everest?

[MickeyMouseGal]

Thanks! I also have a picture of some construction going on at the Train Station at MK. Does anyone know what that's about?

Ok, it would help to post the picture:

This was taken from MousePlanet.com.

"Main Street Railroad Station – under refurbishment through December 20. Guests will still be able to board the train at the station, though the entrance and exit may be relocated during the work. The area surrounding the locker rental stand will be inaccessible due to renovations that are rumored to be moving stroller rentals into that location. The station is also slated to receive new glass, canopies, paint and so forth."

Hope that answers your question/picture!

When I took my wife & daughter to AK in 7/04, we walked right past the building site for Everest...Only the bottom half was covered up therefore
revealing the top half of the structure...I don't know if anyone else has seen
this then but...YOW!
Correct me please if I'm mistaken but it looked like the very top of the ride (let's say about 100 feet on either side)went straight UP and does a 180 straight DOWN!
Strap yourselves in folks...this is going to be some ride!
If you could step back about 3 or 4 hundred feet,look up and squint your
eyes at the half bare ride, you'd see a Salvadore Dali painting on steroids!
A lot of twists & turns!
It's a good thing it'll be covered up!
Good Luck ALL!

I picked up on an interesting bit of trivia about everest on friday. During our backstage safari tour I was told the ride was 1 foot under the hieght required for an aircraft beacon. 199 feet as opposed to 200 feet (I think those were the numbers). This was done so the effect of it being a "mountain" wouldnt be spoiled.

Same with the Tower of Terror. The hand on Spaceship Earth does have a blinking light b/c its over 200ft.
