Default Expedtion Everest VS. Indiana Jones Adventure!

Now both are incredable feets for Walt Disney Imagineering. EE is one of the most innovating Rollercoaster ever created and IJA is well. Just freaking awesome! So whats better.

Haven't been on Everest yet, but it would take a lot for it to surpass Indiana Jones Adventure. Based on the video, it doesn't for me at all.

I would have to choose Indy because i have not rode Everest yet. The everest drop at the end looks amazing! I want to go on it.

You can't really compare them. Ones a roller coaster that takes place in nepal, and the other is a... umm I don't know what it's called but it is really awsome. I'll vote Indy just because EE is really short!

I'm not trying to compair them. I mean technologically. Which one is more advanced/aka better (special effects, Animatronics, EXCECTECT.)

^ If it's effects, the nod will go to Indy. The queue, the EMVs, all the show scenes & effects, the incredible techonologies used, it's all a dazzling effects show from beginning to end. With Everest, there area some nice things to look at, some cool effects with the track being ripped up and a couple Yeti scenes, but I don't think it quite measures up to Indy. I'd know more though, having actually seen Everest for myself, which I hope comes sooner than later.

Expedition Everest.

By a very, very short margin. I'm actually a very big fan of the Indy franchise, I've made it a point to ride the indy rides at DLP, DL, and DisneySea..also saw the show at MGM. But the sheer size of EE, the queue, the AA Yeti, and the coaster itself are amazing. It realy is a mind blowing experience.

And this is not in any way affected because I live in FL. Trust me EE wins by a very, very short margin.

I still don't understand what's so mindblowing about it. I guess it's one of those things you have to see in person.

Maybe experience-wise, it's easier to think EE is better because the newness of it will seem better to us since the Indy rides have been around for a long while. Like I said before, on the objective level of effects, I can't fathom how Indy could not win there. We're still having to explain out some of the effects over 10 years later! I do need to see EE for myself though, and soon.
