O.K. here is what I have recently learned:
The attraction is going to be built.
An announcement could come as soon as the park's anniversary this spring.
The mountain will be huge, and "multi-peaked".
The ride system is best described as a mine train type coaster, which travels both inside and outside the mountain. Think a gigantic Matterhorn.
No invert, no flyer. Manufacturer could be S&S/Arrow, but I'm not 100% on that.

Hey! I just watched the inside Animal Kingdom special on the Travel Channel, and when they said about looking toward the futer with new rides, They showed a rough CG image of a futer ride that they might build, and the image was of the monster in the ride video! I think this ride in just about 99% going to happen! :sohappy:

I've heard some rumors of the Forbidden Mountain ride being a mix of space mountain and the matterhorn mixed with a touch of RRC. Just a rumor. It sounds right up Ak's alley!

Yep. 200ft is about right, in fact it may well wind up being the tallest structure at the resort.
Easily visible from all areas of the park, and from outside as well.
Taller than the Tree of Life.
And not only tall, wide too. It's not a single peak like Matterhorn, but sort of a mini mountain range, with several peaks.
Breathtaking.

More like Fall 2005--I don't see this crossing the 200 foot mark...they don't want to have to put a big red beacon on top...it works w/ the Mickey Wand, but it'd be awkward on top of a mountain.

The journey video was so dark.............but of course their
in the center of the earth so I should of expected that
The monster and the drop how neat
The Simbad ride was lovely it looks just like your watching
a cartoon ....beautifully done
either of these rides would be a great plus to add to
any of the disney parks

True, buildings over 200 feet from ground level need a light on top.
However, there are ways to sort of get around that rule. One being the height of the ground where the building sits. ToT tops out at over 200 feet above Sunset Blvd. It is measured from the man made hill it sits on.
What I'm saying is, if you raise the grade, you raise the structure without going over the 200 foot limit. That is what I was talking about. From sea level, Forbidden Mtn. may wind up being the tallest on property. Or, then again, maybe I was misinformed.
Anyway, as for opening dates, I understand that once the announcement is made, construction is expected to be done at a very fast rate in order to get the attaction open as soon as possible. Spring 2005 may bee pushing it, but I hear they will be trying.
