Go for a Ride on Disney's 'Expedition Everest' Roller Coaster

While we were on our 'Worst Vacation. Ever.', there were some bright points that made it into the 'WIN!' column. One of those was riding Disney's 'Expedition Everest' roller coaster!

Here are some details:

Expedition Everest — Legend of the Forbidden Mountain is a steel roller coaster built by Vekoma at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The ride is themed around the Yeti hiding in Mount Everest. It is listed in the 2011 book of Guinness World Records as the most expensive roller coaster in the world. Including sets and extras, its total cost was reported to be US$ 100 million, following 6 years of planning and construction. It is the tallest of the artificial mountains at Walt Disney World and in the world. Contrary to popular belief, Expedition Everest is not Florida's tallest mountain. Expedition Everest stands at 199 feet tall (61 meters) while Walton County's Britton Hill is 345 feet tall (105 meters). It is Disney's 18th mountain-themed attraction. - (Wikipedia)

My daughter Meredith wasn't thrilled I was videoing the adventure, but loved the memories we'll have now of the ride! Warning: this video contains some spoilers. This coaster is a definite 'Don't Miss!' on your Disney vacation.
