The Great Mountain

Expedition Everest is a breath-taking ride, marked by a massive iconic peak, a breakneck run both backwards and forwards, several close encounters with a ferocious yeti, all amid beautiful scenery.  It remains Animal Kingdom's most impressive and dominant E-Ticket attraction, and will stay that way at least until Pandora - The World of Avatar opens early next year.  Here are a few long shot glimpses of the ride.
