Expedition Everest

Going up in Asia as we speak, Disney World's tallest "Mountain" won't be ready to take riders until late 2005 or early 2006 but it is certainly ambitious. While the coaster's 80 foot drop and top speed of 50 miles per hour are tiny compared to the Six Flags and Cedar Point coasters it's awfully aggressive for Disney. Must be 44 inches to ride -- when it opens in 2005

Besides, Disney is more about the experience. You will venture deep into Mount Everest and come across the yeti. At one point, you will even go backwards.
