Rick Adams hangs with boy band B5 at Disney s Expedition Everest...

Contrary to popular belief, Expedition Everest is not Florida's tallest mountain.

Expedition Everest has six steam-like trains, each with six cars that together provide 17 rows seating two abreast, for a total of 34 riders per train.

Expedition Everest is the first ride to use Vekoma's newest track system, in which the rails are on the outside of the ties rather than on the inside.

Although moderate in height and length by contemporary standards, Expedition Everest is unique in having its trains travel both forward and backward.

Expedition Everest, however, was the first roller coaster to switch between forward and backward sections during a single ride.

Expedition Everest's mountain is made from 1,800 tons of steel and painted with 2,000 gallons of paint.

Expedition Everest is listed in the 2011 book of Guinness World Records as the most expensive roller coaster in the world.

Disney's Animal Kingdom contains a roller coaster with a similar theme, Expedition Everest.

His book, "Meeting The Mountains" is also seen while standing in line at Disney's Animal Kingdom for Expedition Everest.
