Page 1 This is a roller coaster at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Since I don't "do" roller coasters DH had to go on by himself. Most of the product on this 2 pager is from HOTP/Paper Wishes. Wood icons - Studio Calico
Journaling: Dennis is looking forward to this ride – I will wait for him as I don’t care for roller coasters. As in all Disney rides there is a back story to the ride and in this case it involves a legend.
Folklore has it that a fierce guardian monster protects the Forbidden Mountain.
For years, the Royal Anandapur Tea Company shipped its tea by train through the Forbidden Mountain pass. After a series of mysterious accidents were blamed on the dreaded Yeti monster, the railroad closed. Today, the railway is operating again, thanks to a group of local entrepreneurs—Himalayan Escapes, Tours and Expeditions— who offer curious travelers transportation to the base camp on the scenic mountain.
Yet there are some who believe the legend to be true and that the Yeti will do everything in its power to protect the sacred realm of the Himalayas. Visitors beware.
Riders board the weather-beaten train in the model village of Serka Zong. Departing the station it ascends a series of rolling hills overlooking a serene green forest. Then it climbs a steep incline and navigates through a ceremonial stone tunnel before reaching the summit (199.5 feet). Once at the “top of the world,” riders hold on tight as the train picks up speed and races inside the dreaded mountain.
Without warning, the train screeches to a halt: A broken and twisted track appears in front of it. Riders brace themselves as the train unpredictably begins to race backward into the darkened mountain, furiously swooping up into a double-looping turn. Inside the windswept passage, the shadowy figure of a growling creature can be seen on a cavern wall. It is the Yeti—the legend is real.
Hurl 80 feet down the base of the cursed mountain and swoop in and out of murky caves and along jagged rocky ledges as you race to escape the dreaded monster before he catches up with you.
Will you make it back to civilization safely? Or will the Yeti claim another victim?
Dennis enjoyed it. He says it was a moderate roller coaster with some surprises – like when it ran backwards into the mountain. This is the first Disney roller coaster to switch between forward and backward sections during a single ride.
Thanks for spreading positivity!
