My Everest
Today Todd and I went to Disney World so we could ride the new roller coaster at Animal Kingdom. I have been riding roller coasters now to help me over come different fears. I got past the upside thing, but I am still really afraid of drops. I was pretty sure that this ride had a big drop. So I was looking forward to, and terrified of riding at the same time.
We got to the park and the tram driver mentioned that Expedition Everest wouldn't be opening until two o'clock. So we decided to head over to MGM studios for awhile. I had never ridden Rockin Roller Coaster. We got in line and I was pretty nervous. But I am a newly brave soul and got on the ride and it was a blast! I enjoyed it so much. We ate lunch and then rode Star Tours. That was so the wrong order to do those two activities! (But I survived without hurling.)
We went over to Animal Kingdom and walked over to the roller coaster and it wasn't open yet. They said it would be later than planned because of some test runs. But Whoa! To look at that ride... I mean I can't think of anything else to say just "Whoa!"
So we went and rode a couple of other things then headed back to Everest. We were given the sad sad news that it wouldn't be open at all today. We were pretty disappointed. It is rare that Todd and I have a day off work together, so I am not sure when we'll be able to try again.
We were going to head to EPCOT and ride Soarin' (yet another one I've never had the chance to ride). Our age got to us though and we ended up coming home.
Todd went out tonight anyway and wanted to get some rest before he left. We were both very tired. It was warm today and I think somehow Animal Kingdom is always at least 20 degrees hotter than the rest of Orlando. I think it was 85 this afternoon. Add in walking and walking and walking, with there not being any choices for me to drink out there and I was ready to come home.
We did have a great time even with the disappointment of nit being able to ride Everest. There's always next time. (sigh)
