RailRider Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 Well yes Disney is a lot more expensive than Holiday World. Most of the parks in the world are more expensive than Holiday World. If cost werent an issue Disney without a doubt, because you would only need go to AK to ride EE and then you could go to IOA, USF, and BGT for the rest of your time.

matth Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Seriously, though, is there any other ride you'd compare it to? I've wondered how the ride experience compares to Universal's "Mummy". It can be seen as similar to the mummy, but with a lift hill, and the mechanism for making the train go backwards is very different. I would argue that everest does "launch" because both show stops are done using about twenty pairs of tires that (after the vekoma style switch rotates and the show elements are played and the following block is clear) "launch" the train on its way. The yeti at the end of the ride is impressive, however this is a great example of an idea that was taken too far. You see the yeti for a few seconds, the effect could have been done for far less money if the figure were simplified; It appears to have several controlled axis, similar to stitch in Stitch's Great Escape, however stitch is visible on and off for over 8 minutes. ..matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
