Everest Concept Models!!

[PhilosophyMagic]

This seems a bit weird, but I looked up "Expedition Everest" in Google, and found a French-text website, apparently describing the attraction, but including photos of what looks like concept models that I've never seen before, with Disney imagineers that I recognize!! Links are below:

model with working imagineers

smaller model from a better viewpoint than above model

smaller model from different angle

very cool concept art of the mountain as seen from the main Asia bridge

finally CLICK HERE for the main "Expedition Everest" page, with links to the above concept art and model photos ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE

Yup these are official. They have been used in a number of presentations by Disney, including the recent shareholder meeting.

Wow, thanks for posting! The mountain looks MUCH larger than I'd pictured it would be.

Could someone please do a cut and paste. Firewall issues have prevented me from seening the photos.

Thanks

WooHoo, I can't wait to see that ride in action. Any idea when it will be ready sometime 2007 maybe?


That track looks pretty long so it should be a great ride.

Isn't it scheduled to open sometime in 2006?

Everest is planned to open Earthday 2006, however, everyone is shooting to get the ride open in 2005. And the construction is ahead of schedule so it should be really easy to do so.
