This edition of Spotlight on takes us to the mysterious Himalayan Mountains. Where our weary party of explorers treks on ignoring the locals warnings about the Yeti that guards the mountain.
TIP: There is a single Riders line for this ride. And it usually moves pretty quick. So if you do not mind your party being split up for the ride, then save a few minutes and hit the Single Riders line.
Usually I give you an account of the ride here, but this time I will not spoil it. This ride has a few surprises that you have to see to get the full effect.
Here are some interesting facts about the ride:
• The mountain is 199 feet tall. Why? All 200 foot tall structures in Florida need to have red blinking aircraft lights on them. And the Imangineers did not want to spoil the mountain like that.
• The ride is nearly a mile long.
• 1,800 tons of steel was used in the structure. That is about six time more than an office building of the same size.
• Artisans at work: Artists from Imagineering used hammers, chainsaws and blowtorches to "age" wood and buildings in the village, giving them the appearance of being longstanding parts of the landscape.
See this ride it is worth it.
Thank you for reading.
