New Coaster in AK?!?!

[Gem85]

I was reading a sign in the AK last week saying there would be a new coaster in 2006 called "Expedition Everest"or something like that. From the picture, it looked like a blast!! Does anyone know anything else about it?

I think the story is that you are on the lookout for the Yeti. And the final drop is just HUGE! That's all I know.

I think there were a lot of animal conservation groups upset about that one. WDW had to make a lot of "modifications" to keep them from raising too much of a stink.

I seem to remember hearing about certain soundproofing measures that WDW had to make to ensure they did not stress out any of the animals. Sounds like a good idea to me, but probably something Disney would have taken care of anyway. I think they treat the animals "admirably" (did I spell that right?)
