Florida law says structures 200 ft and taller have to have a aircraft light.
However, this is measured from base to top, not necessarily street level.
For instance, ToT is 199 feet tall, to get under the statute, however it sits on a man made hill. The net effect is that from Sunset to the top of the tower is over 200 ft.
Therefore, this 200 ft mtn. could actually be higher, depending on the grade of the land it sits on.

Great job with that pic :sohappy:

Nice work (and to tell you the truth, I could actually see something similar to that happening hehe)

Nice art! I can't wait to see what it will really look like!

Do you guys think it will just be a copy of Matterhorn? It will have it's differences but will it basically be Matterhorn with a different name?

I think the similarities will be minimal, This will be the ride Matterhorn wishes it could have been.

I agree completely. Why would disney build a mountain that obviously looks like the Matterhorn in Asia and call it Mt Everest, I mean, I'm sure not many people would realize it, but Disney loves detail too much to let that happen. This is gonna be a fast, thrill packed, heavily themed coaster. I'd bet on it being the most themed and story-based coaster in all of WDW.

But no, this is definitely not the Matterhorn.

The only similarity between the Everest ride and the Matterhorn is that they both involve mountains and yetis.

Matterhorn is 44 years old for goodness sake.

Everest is taller, longer, faster, more story and show, and lots more thrilling.
