- JLJuan Manuel Marquez Lara1 day ago1.0This is not the real MK expedition everest. Its a bogus place that stole the name from the MK attraction
- HCHank ChangJan 4, 20264.0One of the best rides in the Disneyworld parks - this goes up , around, and stops - plus goes backward a bit to shock you. Not too long of a line, too, even when busy. Single-rider line was great. The queue area was not bad for waiting and had some interesting Everest related props and some really old computers .. !
- MWmark wellsDec 28, 20255.0This rude is awesome.. the drop forward is great but the drop backwards is what makes this ride so brilliant. I hate it and love it at the same time. Really great if you want to try something completely different. Very Non Disney!! The staging of the ride is incredible. Even if you're not going to ride it, worth walking around the base camp area!!
- BOBrandon OliDec 18, 20255.0We had no idea what to expect and it was insane. It’s probably our maximum difficulty personally but we did it twice. The backwards section while going up FAST pulls you into the seat and the drop feels like you’re leaving this planet lol.
- MWMatthew WeaverDec 13, 20255.0An Animal Kingdom Classic! Feels like your on an expedition through the Himalayas. Always blown away by the creativeness and what goes into the production of Disney themed rides. Every detail and experience throughout the journey to the ride immerses you into the culture. And of course, The ride itself is awesome
