Does Everest go upside down?

The ride does not go upside down, but it does go backwards. You can view a video of the ride here. It isn't too debatable—in our minds, as of early 2022 (pre-TRON and pre-Guardians)—that Everest is the best roller coaster in Disney World. It's fun with great story and a good Yeti animatronic.



No, Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain at Disney’s Animal Kingdom does not go upside down. There are no inversions, loops, or corkscrews on this particular roller coaster. However, it is still considered one of the most intense and thrilling rides in the Walt Disney World Resort due to its unique high-speed maneuvers. The "scary" factor comes primarily from a massive 80-foot drop and a significant segment where the train travels completely backwards at high speeds into a dark, curved tunnel. During this backward section, riders experience high G-forces that can make it feel like you are being pushed into your seat in a way that mimics an inversion, leading to a common misconception that the ride flips. The coaster is also famous for its large animatronic Yeti and its detailed Himalayan theming. While it lacks the loops found on rides like Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, the combination of darkness, the backward plunge, and the height of the mountain makes it a "must-do" for thrill-seekers who want an adrenaline rush without the physical sensation of being turned completely upside down.
