We are about to get a snowstorm. What better time to talk about my favorite place on the planet?

Expedition Everest is one of my favorite rides at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Florida. It is a rollercoaster through a mountain where a giant Yeti chases you. I thought it would be really tame. It is not a speed coaster, but HOLY CRAP did the past where you go backwards and the Yeti comes out scare the shit out of me. First you see him on what looks like an IMAX Dome thingy, but later the animatronic thing comes for you. Check out this on ride footage to see why it’s so mind-destroying (LOL some guy screams like a girl):

Well, Popular Mechanics has a great post about how the ride works!

The next ride that I love is Disney’s Hollywood Studios Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. It’s an elevator drop ride that is based on The Twilight Zone. You go through a haunted hotel where you see ghosts and then you get dropped. It’s amazing:

Check out this blog post that goes into crazy detail about why this ride is so BEST EVAR.
