Expedition Everest height?

[WDFAN1977]

So what is the height on that monster of a mountain? I was told that anything over 199 feet has to have a flashing red light. (ex: the wand on Epcot sphere is 210 feet and has a flashing red light.) Maybe it is an illusion, but EE looks more than 199 ft. If so, I think a red light is going to look real tacky.

EE is 200 ft and will be the highest point on disney property. I will have a red light when its finished

Wrong, EE will be 199 feet and will not have a red light when finished. Also it will not be the hightest point on property as the WDW dolphin is far taller than anything else on property. EE will be the same height as ToT.

Also the Epcot wand is 256 feet not 210 and will still be taller than everest.

I wonder if WDW will ever do a ride that's over 200 feet high. How would they theme the red light?

Well, SSE has a red light on the top of the wand. However other than that I doubt Disney would ever build a ride such as Everest or Tower that would need a red light.

Everest is touted to be the tallest Mountain in Florida but as mentioned before it is far from the tallest structure at WDW.

speaking of heights does anyone know the specs of it...like top speed or if it will have any loops and go upside down?

Everest will have no loops, and will not go upside down. The top speed will be 55 mph.

Tallest drop is 80 feet.

And it will go both forwards and backwards during the ride.
