Save Everest for after sunset !! It’s still my favorite ride through the day, but is even better in the evening. Single rider is the way to go to dodge the wait, but the queue is neat as well .

Matt L

The line is beautifully designed, very atmospheric, and the ride is super fun. And the sight of Everest is magnificent during the day and especially at night

Aishah Tolentino

Always a long wait , but what can I say, it's a great ride! They definitely have to do something about the sweat smell when you enter the building.It could be all the clothes and artifacts being stored

Corryn Smith

An absolute must do at Animal Kingdom. Stand in line and get a fast pass do you can ride it twice. The wait time is short once the park opens and when the park is about to close.

Kelly

In my opinion, the BEST roller coaster at WDW! It goes forwards and backwards , is inside and out. For quicker entry, go through the single-riders line , never longer than a 10 minute wait.

Lisa Reynolds

Fantastic line and interesting back story. Get a fast pass or go on the single rider line if you're in a hurry, but the line is fascinating and worth the trip through at least once.

Laur Lo Ski

Similar to the Matterhorn ride at Disneyland... the twist with this Coaster is that it starts going backwards and totally takes you by surprise SPOILER! Very fun ride, definitely Fastpass it.

Slightly Perfect

Fave ride in the park (before Avatar was made, of course). The yeti is so cool, and the roller coaster going backwards in my favorite part. Breathtaking views at the pinnacle.

Claire

A little hard to find but a fantastic ride overall! Normally has a long line , but there are things to observe while in the line . Definitely recommend using a FastPass to get to the coaster.

Sean Leb

A mystery that begs you to find out more each time you ride. A fun coaster that goes forward and backwards in the dark, the detail and story of this ride is a prime example of Disney quality.

Gilbert Corrales

get on the single rider line then when u make it to the front ask to be moved to the line for the 1st 2 carts, is an amazing experience, and works even if u go in pairs

DisneyisLove

Ride Expedition Everest first thing in the morning to avoid a long line . Great ride! I highly recommend grabbing a fast-pass to Kilimanjaro Safaris and/or a fast-pass to Expedition Everest first.

Chris R

Get there first thing in the morning, use a Fastpass, or go through the single rider line for shortest waits. Very detailed queue.

Drew McLellan

To save a ton of time - use the single rider line . Your party is together until the very last minute, when you get out on the ride. Yes, it's fun to ride together but the time difference is huge!

T-town Tom

One of my favorite coasters anywhere, ever. And I live an hour from Cedar Point and go there at least once a year. This absolutely stands up to or beats many of theirs.

Lorren Raque'l

Go early in the morning or in the evening ! It’s ones of the best rides in the park . The lines can be very long!

Noel Clarke

Great roller coaster and one of the first i went on that had moving raise and went backwards . 100% make sure you get on this ride at Animal Kingdom

Tammy

Grab a $10 margarita , drink it up, get tipsy... hop on this ride and you'll end up getting a little more than tipsy! It's great!

LF

Disney ride at its best. Very thrilling. Specially at night fall, when it becomes even darker. Don't miss it.

Hugo H

**PAY ATTENTION** Look for the YETI close to the end of the ride. There's a HUGE YETI in the caves . AMAZING. I've been on this ride 10X & I just realized that he's there. He is MASSIVE.

Bob Adams

A must ride in Animal Kingdom. I would go straight back there when the park opens. You can usually ride several times without a Fast Pass before the line builds up.

jiresell

Definitely fastpass this ride as it will have the longest line in the Animal Kingdom Park . Really fun, with some nice surprises during the ride.

valerie

Drop is not as big as it looks from the outside. I'm a wuss and I survived! Fun but quick, and the single rider line goes fast, but you WILL be separated.

Mike Seilback

great roller coaster - maybe the best one in Disney. fast, fun and great views of the park

Diane Shaffer

Do yourself a solid and take the standby line , if it’s under an hour. The queue is worth it and the time will go quickly. Indophiles will love it!

Steffanie Camilo

You must ride this! The building is great it makes you feel like you are in the Himalayas but warmer!

Leonda Levchuk

Hands down, most favorite ride at WDW. Try the single rider line , our personal record is 33x in a row! Seriously, backwards , Yeti's ...YES!

AlAnoud A AlGhunaim

The best ride in here, hands down! But make sure to get a fast pass .

David Jules

Single rider line ! Also, look to the left as you go up the big incline, you can see Epcot and Hollywood Studios off in the distance.

Russ Perkins

Favorite ride in all of Disney! Get to the park early as wait times go up fast.

Manish Hittalmani

Great roller coaster in Walt DisneyWorld - Animal Kingdom. Reserve a fast pass as soon as you get your ticket to reduce your wait time

Stephen G.

All the single Riders..All the single Riders...put your hand up and get in the single rider line and cut your wait time by a lot.

Morgan Lauf

Ride once in the front row for the view , and then in the back row where the ride itself is much better! Also, pay attention to the queue...there are a lot of cool artifacts throughout it!

Sean Robison

Crazy cool roller coaster that runs backwards at certain points.

Lisa Sosa

Get a fast pass . Fun ride, even better when you don't have to wait long. My fave part is going backwards .

Ailie Chang

My favorite roller coaster ! Use your fast pass on this one. Ask to ride in the front, it's worth it :)

M Aldoss ♏

Amazing coaster with nice drops. Watch out from Big foot creature, he is real and he will add his touch to this Coaster.

Roberto Camacho

The set up is very interesting and the ride itself is scary and fun at the same time , I don't recommend closing your eyes unless u want the biggest headache of your life.

Stephen Hatcher

Get a fast pass and then wait for the front seats. You won't have to wait for long and it's definitely worth it for the view at a certain point!

Brian Bezanson

Awesome ride. The best yet at Disney. We didn't FastPass and the line moved quickly.

Jason Fleming

Getting to this ride early is the way to go so that you don't burn a fastpass. You can see Everest from the Dolphin

manuel

Get a fast pass before you even get in line for the first time. Trust me, you'll want to go again!

Bing

Named one of the most expansive roller coasters in the world, this ride is also wild! You’ll get chased by simulated yeti for the full Everest experience. Read more

Ace Baugh

everyone asks for the front. Ride in the back and enjoy the ride much more.

Julia Spillers

If you're alone or with a small group of friends, just use the single rider line . It only takes about five to ten minutes and you can still have a decent seat.

Melissa Savoy

Definitely get a fast pass for this one. Forward, backward , and in the dark! Best ride in Epcot.

Shane Martin

If you fastpass, go at night. Much better than during the day

Abby Gustafson

Went on this and actually got stuck inside the mountain when the yeti was ripping the rail. Walked down 17 flights and saw internal structure but was an overall cool once in a lifetime experience.

Jose Rodriguez

Now this is a ride you can't miss! A thrilling rollercoaster that goes fast, backwards and through a yeti 's home!

Ross Burnett

Awesome and really well designed. Such a cool back story.
