Exactly? Not sure. It's been described to me a couple of ways, but I'm not sure which is correct.
In a nutshell, instead of a traditional anti-rollback system that engages as soon as the train begins to ascend, the one on Everest only engages when there is a need for it.
Interesting how they realized that a tea train wouldn't make that noise so they eliminated it for thematic reasons, but are content to allow a rocket to clickety-clack it's way up a hill?
Wow, you two don't know the specifics?
To exact the information for you both, it's actually a separate wheel on the cars that rolls along a ramp along the Chain lift (Look for it next time your ride) generating the Magnetic current that keeps the Rollback from clanking on the dog teeth. Train stops, wheel stops, no current, Rollback comes down and hits the dog teeth.
Fun Fact: When they're running the program retool that slows the ride down to run five trains
hurl the current of the spinning wheel isn't the precise calculated amount, and if you listen closely you can hear the tops of the rollbacks hitting the dog teeth ever so slightly. Ah, how I loves the Expedition Everest...

As do I. Very techy and TL94 sounding, while sounding sleek and new...something I think they are trying to do with the new SM.
