I would have to agree with Stormrider that the front and back cars of the train are the best. I have also rode that ride have 5 times in a row. Expedition Everest is one of the best Disney rides I have ever been on too.

It's a different sort of system. It utilizes a rotating track system for the two transfers. The first, you are looking at destroyed track in front of you, the track that just put you there spins 180 degrees so that the second piece of track underneath it allows you to go straight backwards.

After the backwards section, you watch the (projected) yeti destroy the track ahead of you. Here, the transfer piece rotates allowing a shift to the left so you can hit the man drop.

My ex took a vid of this ride and put it on facebook....it was soo cool! I love the fact that you go backwards on it. Some say you go upside down but you dont...you just fall backwards and a bit up the mountain again. I love the fact that people compare the two mountains. The moster at disneyland is an Abominable snowman (harold) and the one at everest is a Yeti(Betty!) so they are closely related but still different. The mountains are different and yet they have the same original thought. The ride in disneyland have the Matterhorn mountain and the one in animal kingdom is Everest. These are two different mountains but they have a similair eerie legend.
