New Safety Video Shown to Guests at Expedition Everest in the Animal Kingdom

New Safety Video Debuts at Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom

Disney’s Animal Kingdom has officially installed new screens throughout the Expedition Everest queue to debut a brand-new safety video. This visual guide replaces the traditional boarding process where guests previously relied solely on overhead audio spiels and verbal instructions from Cast Members before facing the Yeti.

The final hallway before the loading station has received a digital makeover, with four new screens now mounted in pairs at either end of the corridor. These high-definition displays replace the vintage-style illuminated panels that once showcased “Himalayan Escapes” travel posters and local advertisements.

The new footage is styled to maintain the ride’s deep immersion, blending the look of a glossy travel commercial with “CCTV” clips of the trek. Between stunning views of the mountain peaks, the video seamlessly integrates essential safety reminders, ensuring explorers are fully briefed before their encounter with the Yeti.

The new dual-screen setup makes the boarding process foolproof: while one screen displays clear text instructions, the other features a visual demonstration of guests following each step.

As you approach the summit’s edge, your Expedition Guide will assign you a row number—simply follow these steps for a smooth departure:

Pre-Departure Checklist

• Secure Your Gear: Remove all backpacks and personal bags before the gates open.
• Boarding & Seating: Once the gates swing open, move quickly to fill the furthest seat in your assigned row.
• Safety Pairing: Explorers under age 7 must be seated next to a companion age 14 or older.
• Stowage: Place larger bags at your feet and tuck smaller essentials into the cargo pouch directly in front of you.
• Lock In: Pull your lap bar down until it’s snug, then give it a firm push upward to ensure it’s fully locked.

While many seasoned explorers might breeze past the new displays—as we saw several guests doing while we captured the footage—the update adds a layer of helpful context for first-time riders. Even if you don’t catch the full “travel commercial,” the dual-screen system ensures that the technical details of the trek are clear before you reach the summit.

For those who prefer to listen, the classic audio briefing hasn’t gone anywhere; safety instructions continue to play on a loop in both English and Spanish throughout the loading area.
