Here's a quick look at Expedition Everest at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Heights: At just under 200 feet, Everest is the tallest of 18 mountains created by Disney Imagineers at Disney parks worldwide.
Falls: The ride includes an 80-foot drop.
Length: The track is nearly a half-mile long with twists and tight turns.The train: The ride vehicle is odeled after an aging, steam-engine tea train which carries 34 passengers.
The Yeti: The Audio-Animatronic yeti has a potential thrust, in all of its hydraulic cylinders combined, of slightly over 259,000 pounds force.
The mountain range: To create the sense of an enormous mountain range, Imagineers used forced perspective by painting a “mural” of shadows across the face of the mountains.
