Expedition Everest closing for a long refurbishment in 2022

The guest-favorite train coaster will be closed from January 4 2022 until mid-April 2022. Work will be done on the ride control system. Sadly, the yeti animatronic will not be repaired.

The Disney World website describes the ride as:

“Wander into a Tibetan village at the base of Mount Everest and board a train to the “top of the world.” Beware: Some say a legendary snow monster lives deep in the mountain.

After a steep ascent, your train picks up speed and races into the darkness. Without warning, a broken and twisted track appears in front of you. Brace yourself as you plummet backward into total darkness. Inside the cavern, the mythical tale comes true as you see the shadow of a massive, growling beast!

Race to escape the cursed mountain—before the Yeti claims another expedition.”

It’s a thrilling attraction that many enjoy. We’ll be sad to see it closed for so long.
