Hey all,

Thought those that haven't seen it yet might want to set your videos for this one....

Discovery Travel & Living, 5am tomorrow (<S>Thursday</S> Friday 4th August)

Yeti - The Ultimate Rollercoaster

This one-hour special follows Disney Imagineers as they embark on a journey to one of the most remote places in the world, The Himalayas.

They go to get inspiration for 'Expedition Everest' which will be the an ice-and-snow-capped rollercoaster that takes riders to the top of Mount Everest to face off against the Yeti. This amazing experience will be a new attraction at Animal Kingdom Park in Disney World, Orlando, Florida.

This special will follow Joe Rhode, Disney's lead Imagineer and his team as they undertake the arduous, difficult and yet amazing and rewarding journey to the foothills of the Himalaya - through Nepal, China and Tibet. We'll be there as they immerse themselves in the culture and societies that surround Everest, in order to create an immersive experience for visitors to Animal Kingdon Park.

Watch to see how Rhode and his team capture, duplicate and adapt the experience they have in order to make the riders of Expedition Everest feel like they themselves have made this incredible journey.

I caught the end of it this morning before i came into work - looks pretty good and an excellent preview of the attraction for anyone who hasn't yet ridden!

I've recorded it on dvd (handy them dvd recorders) - if anyone wants a copy, let me know - i've got a stack of blank dvd-r's sitting bored on the shelf, just waiting to be used

I'm also recording tomorrow morning (on the same disc) the Best Amusement Parks 2006, on at the same time, same channel as the yeti prog, so again if anyone wants this, let me know.

They'll both be on the same disc, an hour per program. Drop me a PM with your postal address if you want a copy of the disc, and i'll send one out :

I taped this and watched it last night - Joe Rhode looks suspiciously like the Yeti he is looking for to me.

Totally agree - that earring looks damn heavy!
