Everest Trains Chugging

[xtimMOOthyx]

Hey everyone. I just got back from WDW tonight, and am very excited to report that Everset was running while we were there! We walked up to cross the bridge behind Tarzan, which was closed, and almost died when I saw a train careening down the track. It looked like 2 trains were running, both up the lift, then down the hill in the front. Most of the scaffolding is down, too. I wanted to jump over the wall to see if they would let me ride! I have some pics, but I won't be able to put them up yet. Sorry.

It must of been an amazing sight! Thanks so much for telling all of us!

Do they go "choo-choo" or make any train-type sounds?

 

[xtimMOOthyx]

They don't have any sound effects...yet. But they were kind of loud coming down the hill.

Jim Hill posted a rumor that they say "I think I can, I think I can" over and over.*







* Note: This is a joke that I just made up, please do not take it as fact, Jim Hill would never be quite that funny. Though, sometimes his rumors make me laugh.

But they were kind of loud coming down the hill.

That's a given. Most rollercoasters make noise going 50 miles per hour.

Unless they're built by B&M - their costers are fascinatingly quiet.

 

[The_CEO]

Agreed - Which it isn't so we can throw that away.. :lol:

They put sand in the rails, I believe, so as to deaden the reverberations made when the trains pass over.

So, if this is happening at the end of September...barring nothing goes wrong...what are the chances of us getting a big Christmas present this year?
