3	Labuda Wed 6/23/2004 5:39a	A roller coaster and so much more! :D
4	TDLFAN Wed 6/23/2004 5:52a	We'll see about the "so much more" part.
5	Labuda Wed 6/23/2004 5:55a	Ok, "so much more" provided that accounting doens't cripple it. Howzzat? :)
6	TDLFAN Wed 6/23/2004 6:37a	Much better. It's like me not expecting "much more" from the Raging Spirits coaster at TDS.

It still appears to have another good 60 feet, or 79 if my guess is close. For reference, Disneyland's Matterhorn is 147 feet high and Everest doesn't look like its quite that big yet. Everest's base certainly seems to have an additional 35-45 feet for its diameter. This is going to be a lot of fun watching Disney build a mountain again. The recent additions to the Disney Range have all turned out looking great: Grizzley Peak, Vulcania, and Disneyland Paris' Big Thunder Mountain. Here's hoping Everest tops them all.

It still appears to have another good 60 feet, or 79 if my guess is close. It is so far away from where you can get to -- it appeared to be 140 ft or so to me. last week...........that was my best guess-- and you're right - the base is very very wide............
