Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain, Florida, United States
5.0 (490 reviews) Spent Ranking #12 in Walt Disney World Rides & Activities
A Disney classic!
This ride is my favorite! Definitely the best roller coaster at the disney world parks. If you like thrilling rides, this is a must. We went to Animal Kingdom on a busy day during a school break but the wait wasn’t bad. We waited about 40 minutes during the middle of the day, then went on again during the evening when the wait was only about 15-20 minutes. I love not just the ride, but the queue as well. There are many cool things to see while waiting in line. Expedition Everest is a Disney classic, if you’re at Animal Kingdom you need to go on this ride!

Very “Cool” ride!
This is located in Disney’s Animal Kingdom near the Asia part of the park. On the day that we went, we decided to do the Standby which had a wait of about 45 minutes. It is worth the wait since you travel through many items and rooms that are well decorated for the climbing theme of the entire ride. The other theme is the search for the elusive yeti and there are many items set up beautifully to show things associated with this creature and its lore. Much of the wait is in these rooms and some of it is outside. The park has set up fans for the areas where you are waiting outside. The ride is a roller coaster type affair with 2 people per car and about 16 cars linked together for a single train. During Covid you are required to wear a mask inside and while on the ride. The ride goes forward and backward and some of it is in the dark so be warned that if you are prone to motion sickness you may want to skip this ride. For everyone else it is a fun ride that is different from most other roller coasters. On top of that part of the ride is nice and chilly, so on a hot day, this is a great place to cool off. Enjoy.

The Best Rollercoaster At DisneyWorld
Because of the speed and the turning after the drop, you may not like this ride. I get headaches easy, but it didn't happen to me. I rode it ten times! The yeti is amazing, the backward part is great, and it has a great view. Give this one a try!
