Thought so.... :lol:Lee said:Would be cool....but...no.
(nice avatar, BTW
)As far as I know:
Steam effect from Train (well, underground tube to the train, you get the drift)
2 waterfalls, one in the back one upfront
snow off the mountain effect
cool air effect
multiple audio/ visual projections effects of yeti
audio of monastery (minor mountain on lift hill)
audio outside queue
Am I missing something? Maybe. Oh yah, a fog effect.
Hey, anyone cares if there are photos between now and AP previews (or if WDWScottieboy and I get a chance to ride it in the next few days -- Scott tells me they are doing 72 hours of testing as of Sunday)?
If no one gives a hoot, I won't bother to update with photos.

LOL maybe I'll head there now then.
Hey, maybe y'all can help me. I've only done passholder previews for a Disneyland (DCA) event. You had to sign up and stuff (didn't get anything free) and be given a time slot.
Is this just a big free for all!?

What: I thought this was going to be a great ride! When in fact is is only a good ride!
Where is all that good stuff we were suppose to get! Like the Yeti smell, snow inside the mountain/ice like ice station cool?
By the way I have been waiting my whole life the see those pictures!
THANKS!
Nothing too terribly new. The waterfall is getting fixed and you can see them applying new mountain work to contain it (its white, not painted yet).
The guidemap is back to the non christmas/holiday version and hasn't been updated with a photo.
Currently they are on a 72 hour test. 18 hours (with a 6 hour gap) x 4 days just letting the thing run. Poor guys have to work till 1:30 today!
Someone at a photo op:
Everest from afar:
For those of you not familiar with the ride cycle. Around the time the one train finishes its rise on the main large lift hill, another car exits out that 80 foot drop. Sometimes its about the same time, other times its delayed by a second or two.
AWFUL shots I know. My camera broke (when I dropped it on my vacation). The black part is the back of the car -- the caboose. The steam effect is working. Here are three shots to show it poof out. Its got some good volume...and from what I remember, I was right -- its not just steam, they've added something to it for density/thickness. Its got some good volume.
Beauty shot.
From what I know, next tuesday and wednesday will be AK cast preview (family and a friend can come too if you want). No testing scheduled, and the AK cast preview is very tentative.

Thanks for the update, Jose ---I definitely give a hoot..!
Hard to see the steam in those shots, but good to hear it works.

I was there today and you could hear the steam train whistle as it went through the temple on the way up the lift. Also, right before it came down the front drop there was a roar that sounded like Godzilla (or maybe i'm just crazy).

I finally got to see the shop and the attraction merchandise. It is all very well done.
