The rather low key entrance to the ride.
The attraction in its entirety.
The ride itself doesn't actually take place on Everest itself, but another peak. Everest is depicted as the darker peak, behind the main mountain on the right.
This helix is fairly forceful.
The main lift of the ride.
The unloading part of the station. Friction tires move the train on very quickly to the loading area, helping minimise lost time that can otherwise be a problem with this station design.
The path leading up to the ride is lined with convincing Himilayan village buildings, themed to be catering to the hordes of visitors on mountain expeditions.
The Himilayan architecture continues throughout the queue.
Some of the other theming in the queue.
The main drop of the ride.
The ride's base is sunken slightly below ground level.
The ride has a simple square platform that drops down to provide adequate operating clearance. The Krazy Kars building can be seen in the background.
The ride in motion.
The first hill of the Giant Dipper can be seen in the background.
The load/unload dock.
The Australian section of the ride.
A small flowrider is on offer in the Wave House area of Belmont Park.
In order to make things more acessible to those learning how to ride a flowboard, a 'training bar' is fitted.
