Facts
Although moderate in height and length by contemporary standards, Expedition Everest is unique in having its trains travel both forward and backward. This is accomplished through two sets of track switches, one before the rear segment and one after. This was the second Disney roller coaster to run backwards, the first being Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril: Backwards! at Disneyland Resort Paris (2000–2004). Expedition Everest, however, was the first roller coaster to switch between forward and backward sections during a single ride.
