Although moderate in height and length by contemporary roller coaster standards, Expedition Everest is unique for having its trains travel forward and backward as a result of the yeti's interference with the journey.

The only attraction at Walt Disney World that goes upside down is Rock N Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith at Disney's Hollywood Studios. The height requirement for this attraction is that you must be at least 48 inches (122cm) tall. This attractions has a couple of loops and twists that I know you'll love!
As you reach the top of the ride, you'll see our home planet, Earth, suspended in space. At this point, your vehicle turns around and you descend backward.
Fun Ride at Disney's Animal KingdomYour only choice is to retreat deeper into the mountain and run the risk of encountering the yeti. The 'runaway train' ride can reach high speeds, with various turns that can be intense to most riders. There aren't any upside-down moments throughout the ride, though.
Unfortunately, Rohde retired from Walt Disney Imagineering in 2021, so he may never have the opportunity to fix the animatronic. Even if remaining Imagineers were to try to fix the Yeti, Expedition Everest would probably need to be closed for an extended period of time.
Although moderate in height and length by contemporary standards, Expedition Everest was the first ride for Disney to have its trains travel both forward and backward. This is accomplished through two sets of track switches, one before the rear segment and one after.
Guests join Star-Lord, Rocket and the gang on a race through the galaxy to capture the bad guy and regain the generator. While the attraction does include a reverse launch (so cool!) and cars that rotate a complete 360 degrees, it does not go upside down.
The motion base is then coupled with a drop tower-like mechanism to deliver a freefall. Think Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, but instead of a 199-foot drop, Rise drops perhaps 25 or 30 feet. It is startling, but not nearly as thrilling as the Tower of Terror. We give that attraction a 7 on the thrill scale.
As I mentioned, Rise can be scary and a little too much for some guests and children. Cast members do their best to be reassuring without breaking character in my experience. Rise of the Resistance is open for Early Theme Park Entry.
