Expedition Everest effects status watch

My money is on that they'll have a lengthy refurbishment for ee probably in 2018 once Avatar dies down a bit. I would be 100% okay not having it for a year, so they can fix and upgrade everything needing it!

You know,people talk about the waterfalls not working...and I sit here and wonder how long until they let the water features in Pandora do the same?

I doubt they'll let that happen. 1 because James Cameron 2 because it's a 850m investment & 3 because any error they did in ee they've probably fixed for Pandora.

You can't tell at all what movement the yeti in the concept art was going to have and thinking it would be static betrays what the company has already done.

This is how you do a giant finale AA. The Yeti in everest might as well be static given that again no one knows the difference because of how utterly quick you pass him.

We usually see eye to eye on things, but I just can't get behind your statements in here.
In fact, it's almost seeming to me that you never got to ride Everest when it first opened. Yes, the yeti is very easy to miss now. However, it left quite an impression on you when it worked. It was an absolutely perfect finale.
Broken yeti aside, though... Everest is still a pretty great ride. I consider it to be one of WDI's best, especially the queue.

I'm not doubting you, but to me Splash Mountain has a better queue

I definitely disagree there. Splash's queue is just fine, but Everest's is much more immersive.

He died. Choked on some hair ties.

Anyone else wish there was a way for that big Chau Gong on the right side of the lift hill to be hit? I ride past it every time and wish I had a mallet to chuck at it...

Sorry...tangent.

 

[WondersOfLife]

look at the concept art

Looks like an albino version of Universal's Kongfrontation!

 

[Thunder Fan]

Don't know why they removed the Bird - helped to build the anticipation of the ride backwards...

If only you guys cared as much about reporting the countless broken effects on other rides as much as you like updating about the freaking steam and waterfall and bird on a stick.

I've posted this many times but it bears repeating - the steam is almost never actually broken. It is, however, often shut off at the request of the Everest CM's because it simply makes the station too hot. So you can chock this one up to bad design and not something that Disney is being lazy about.

I'm sure I don't know what you mean.
