i see your point, but if someone is going to let this determine if they are going to go and see the real thing then i would imagine they werent really interested in the first place (or serious about going)peter11435 said:

My god. You are *completely* missing the point and trying to prove yourself by being *way* too literal.
This has nothing to do with what would or would not be on the train. Exactly like Taylor said - it's something that simply flows in the background that enchances excitement and enforces mood. It is a VERY nessary tool when speaking in terms of show.
Want proof? Watch a movie without the score playing in the background. Tell me you enjoy it just as much when only listening to the dialogue.

besides the queue, is the first yeti spotted on the ride, in the main lift hill on the ceiling looking down at you?
im not going to download again to look, but if memory serves, it ilooks like the one from the statue outside in the temple

Yea, I see where your coming from. But I don't agree with you. What we have here is a difference of opinions. I think it's cool that it's just some natural sounds in the ride. You don't. Am I wrong because what I think is different from what you think? I happen to like realism.Montu said:
And please as Steve asked, could we end this now?

That’s a very mature response. Steve asked us to stop the arguing and that’s just what I’m going to do. I can't wait to ride Everest.Montu said:

"this all seems to be turning into a thread much like the Revenge of the Mummy ones when that opened"
Hahahahaha- and look how well that ride turned out

Seriously- I rarely read these boards- but it's endlessly frustrating that when EVERY new attraction opens, everyone thinks it's the greatest damned thing ever.
What's important is that a ride has staying power- something which will hold its value 20 years down the line and become more valuable with age.
There's no doubt the majority of the public will LIKE Everest- but the problem is that when over $200 is spent on something, it should be AMAZING and should revolutionize the industry that way that Indiana Jones, Tower of Terror, T2:3D, and Spiderman all did.
Problem being, there's no BIG IDEA in the attraction- the premise of being chased, or hunted, by the Yeti is great, but unless there are several key elements not yet in operation, the end result is not all that compelling- and the attraction probably won't engage people emotionally.
The majority of people who read and post to this board will ride it and think it's great- and that because on the surface, you don't know any better. Subconciously, however, you know the difference between a good attraction, and a great one, and that's why, 10 years down the road, you probably won't make that long bus ride from EPCOT to Animal Kingdom just to ride the roller coaster in the mountain, where you'll still go through the endless hassels to get to Magic Kingdom to ride Pirates, Mansion, Splash Mountain, and even Peter Pan.
When people get home and their friends ask how EE was- they're more likely to say "It was cool" opposed to the "It was AMAZING" that you would get with Indiana Jones- an attraction still cited as a major draw for Disneyland.
Hell- though- if everyone felt the way I did- American Adventure would never be without a full theatre. Having experienced every major Disney attraction in the world- I sincerely believe that AA is the best, without a doubt.
I really want Everest to be great- but being entirely realistic and stepping away from all hype, it looks like it will just be good.
By the way- Lee- I think you're respectable and have good ideas.

Sadly, the Everest site simply states "Website Coming Soon!" as of 4:00 PM EST.
