Set off on an exhilarating journey through the Himalayas aboard an ageing mountain railway in Disney’s Expedition Everest. Your adventure begins with a steady climb through lush bamboo forests, past cascading waterfalls and icy glacier fields, as you take in the stunning scenery.
But all is not as it seems. As the track twists deeper into the mountain, danger awaits. Suddenly, you’ll hurtle forwards and backwards through the cursed peaks, narrowly escaping the fearsome Yeti said to guard these heights.
Hold on tight—this high-speed expedition is full of unexpected turns and thrills. Will you make it back to safety, or fall victim to the legend of the mountain?
