Expedition Everest

[Mr D]

What would be the best ride system for EE? a BTMRR type of coaster? Vehicles like the ones used at TDS for their mountain?

Or in line with coaster theming what would be the best setup, it must be themed correctly unless its being decided to have a start like RnRC, perhaps it should have two seperate systems? one slower for younger children, more storytelling, lower ride height requirements. A high volumne slower paced funicular type of train or sets of carriages much like the parking lot trams. And another with little or minimal themeing, no elaboarate queue because Fastpass holders are not interested, it would be a supercoaster on par with the latest any other park has except possibly size and height, a definate adrenaline pumper. Sound and inversions, temperatures, and visuals.

Can't please everybody with just one ride for such a large mountain, actually a peoplemover would work nicely for a more mild mannered version, it would allow small children to enjoy the ride.

This is kind of on the wrong forum. Anyway, I don't think Expedition Everest should be a kiddie ride. AK desperately needs more thrill rides. This lack of thrill rides is the cause at AK to have the least amount of attendance of the other parks in WDW. I don't think it needs a kiddie version with it either because the kids have plenty of other things and rides to experience to keep them occupied.

The ride viecles for EE will be mine trains. The rumors are that you're supposed to take a tour of Everest or somthing in these mine trains. Once you get to the top of the lift, you find the track very ripped up. Thetrip gets wilder. YOu come to several encounters with the Abonidable Snowman. Eventually, the train goes through the mountain backwards. There are no loops, but it is promised to be a very fast ride with huge helixes.

Go to the News & Rumors forum for more info.

No loops you say...Whatever i'll live with helixes.
