Is Expedition Everest a world class coaster? No. But is it the typical Disney masterpiece? Yes, it is and then some. Well how could I not but mention the incredible mountain first and foremost. I was expecting it to be incredible, but Disney even surpassed my expectations as the attention to detail is unbelievable, especially the menacing Yeti encountered various times during the ride. Now as for the ride, it had its positives and negatives. It took quite a bit for the ride to pick up steam, and when I mean steam, become exciting. Once it started going backwards, I was thouroughly impressed as the ride traveled quite quickly and was amazingly smooth the whole ride. There were various sudden dips and turns throughout the ride, both forwards and backwards, but the ride just wasnt all that forceful even for a "big" Disney coaster. For me the highlight definitely has to be that impressive and very picturesque drop out of the mountain. I wasnt expecting any air during the ride, but that gave a nice sudden jolt of air that caught me off-guard. While an excellent coaster in terms of theming and a fun ride for sure, I was just hoping for a tad more intensity.
