the mountain is just a facade anyway. the actual show building will be much like that of rock n roller coaster.

Not...really. It will be themed throughout, with ice caves and such that the train will pass through. It will feel quite a bit like the Matterhorn, only much smoother, faster, BETTER.

Exactly.
There will be no seperate show building like RnRC.
This mountain will contain the ride, like the Matterhorn, only much larger, and will be seen from all sides.
As for the smoother, I sure hope so!
Matterhorn has been quite jerky the last few times I was on it.
I'm going back out to DL in about 3 weeks, and will have my first ride since its extended rehab, which I hope will be at least a little smoother.

Haha...I rode Matterhorn in March...it still beats the crap out of you
They did do a nice job with the rehab, though. I definitely expect great things from EVEREST, knowing that Matterhorn has withstood the ages and remains a favorite at age 44.

As a real coaster from "Arrow Special Coaster Systems" always does...Originally posted by DogsRule!

Better stick to "Intamin" But they won't (sigh!)
All and all, this will become the largest ride in WDW at a Cost of $100 million.
* * The ride will travel both forwards and backwards * *
That's all I will tell about it...
O yes.. another thing about height restrictions.
Riders must be 42" or taller to ride.

Thanks I am sure glad your here
Anybody recall what originally was the beginning of the Matterhorn at DL?
It was just a mound of dirt.
But I wonder if the new mountain is just a ferrocrete shell or will it actually have dirt on it, but then again Everest is all rock and ice so I guess a lot of sprayed on concrete, fiberlass will be applied to a superstructure.
Could a resturant be placed at the top? That itself would be a major attraction.

Most likely, something close to Splash and BTM...

Is this confirmed yet though? I mean it makes total sense, but I was just wondering what the status of that confirmation is. I just don't think disney would release any construction information just yet.

So let's keep the rumours flowing
Well in that case...my priest told me that god himself is going to make the mountain....and that the Imagineers can carve it as they see fit...

Well, you see, Disney doesn't make mountains.
They make intricately themed structures that are designed to look like mountains, such as Splash Mountain, or Big Thunder.
Everest, like Splash, will be a somewhat hollow structure, framed with rebar type steel, with lots of themeing inside and out. There may be dirt on the outside, for themeing purposes, but it won't be a dirt mountain.
Disney has never built a dirt mountain for a ride, and won't be starting now.
