I don't care for the bear theme, and some of the track events are very visible (unlike on Everest, track changes are hidden). But other than that I think it looks much better than Everest.
I just watched the POV the other day because it popped up in Suggested Vids, and I actually did not see the reverse drop coming on that second lift... So awesome, and they sure didn't hide it well now that I look, but for first time riders that would probably be badass.
Also love the launch. It's probably way faster than it seems too. The way they have the low-ground layout is beautiful.

good post jake, that was epic. saw the track switch piece before the lift which ruined the surprise, but we you return to forward travel it's a actually really fast. Got caught on suggested videos for like an hour, i rode Shock (Rainbow ML), Sky Rush, Takabisha and various others all over again lol.
Awesome ride! personally, I think both Expedition Everest and this ride both have their own qualities. They are briefly similar, but not too much. Both rides rule since I am a sucker for anything themed this heavily.
On a similar note, does anyone have the NL ride Thunderhead Falls? I think that's what it was called. I can't find it anymore and I just switched computers.

I would so much rather ride this than EE. I hate that the track switches are exposed, but the reverse drop is awesome. How fast is that launch, anyway? It looks like it's faster than EE's drop.
