Jose (or Lee or Yensid or MKT or whoever), can you give me quick brief on what the snow effect actually does? I did a quick search and didn't find much... I'm curious.
And thanks for the routine updates. This has been QUITE the thread to follow. :wave:
Essentially its supposed to look like snow is blowing off the mountain. Better catch that effect soon. Doubt it will work for a long time (hope it does, see however Indiana Jones in Disneyland).
Its most likely well placed snow making machines (the bubble soap kind). I haven't seen the effect in person.

Just returned from a trip to the World yesterday.
Outside Everest, they now have a cast member standing behind the half-wall to answer questions about the ride. The CM said they have ridden the ride already (they are on the opening team). They also said you go backwards for about 20 seconds at 40MPH. They were not testing the trains at the moment, but there were workers on tall ladders doing rock touchup, some others using levels in the queue area and others talking in the boarding area.

I've been forbidden from talking about it on the internet, and given the clout my contact that allowed me on has, I don't wanna ruffle feathers.. If you've got questions Jose, you know how to get a hold of me offline
That is all

In that case, I hope you enjoyed riding EE Rob!!!:wave:
Sorry to be vague, but this is probably as much as I can post about my experience. I enjoyed it very much, it looks like a completed attraction should, albeit with some rough edges and detail work still remaining to be completed. It is not a roller coaster in the Cedar Point vein, it is a fully thought out attraction that happens to encompass a roller coaster as part of its show. It is 100% a true Disney attraction.

Did you think it was thrilling and how does it compare with Disney's previous classics? E.g Splash Mountain, ToT

Why don't you just leave MKT alone. I'm sure he has already given us as much info as he feels he can.WDWFantasmic said:
