The ride looks pretty good. The Yeti however isnt seen very long...Sneek Previews start next week or so for Vacation Club members and cast members.

Nice site. :) You should consider paying for a cheap host so you can customize it a lot more. The free hosts are very limited in terms of features. I use bluehost.

I have seen those videos, the ride looks amazing. However, from the look of it right now, before everything has been finished (all the special effects werent working in that video) RotM is better. I will have to wait and see before I can judge, so I gotta ride Everest to make a fair judge, though I got on RotM before the Grand Opening through a soft opening, so everything wasnt done it either. Anyways, I cant wait to ride it. :D

Yes, if the site becomes popular, I will start a host. Theres a lot that needs to be done though before that happens though.

Forward to the top of the mountain (mostly...) then stops where the track is "torn out". It transfers track to go another direction backwards. Once you stop inside the mountain where the virtual yeti rips more track and trys jumping on the train, you transfer again and go forward for the rest of the ride.

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon!

I don't have quicktime to run the videos, but from what i've heard and seen on websites, it is a lot like Disney's version of Revenge of the Mummy. Since Revenge of the Mummy is my favorite coaster in the world, I would love to ride this baby! Also, http://www.disneyeverest.com is a good site about this ride.

Those trains are awesome!

When they leave the station, smoke comes out of that thing in the back of the train.

Where are you getting these pics zjohn? I'd like to see more.

^I was wondering that too.

The trains look like it has the same theme as Revenge of the Mummy's trains. Another reason to want to ride it. Wish I was going to disney in march, too.
