Second, pictures of the que line and some of the mountain have popped up. If you thought the Mummy was amazing, wait till you get a load of this! The que line will wind around benind and next to the faux village that has been set up near Everest. Just like the Kali River Rapdis Que, there wil be no switch backs at all. But unlike the Kali River Rapdis que the story will be told better. There will be a cooky Yeti museum set up, along with various plasma TVs in disguise to push the story along.

At least one train is on site and all work on the track construction has stopped. The mountain is starting to come together slowly and the giant stairs next to the helix is being disguised. No word if the Yeti is on site yet.

Here are some pictures....

But everything I have seen so far has me very impressed!

EDIT: I'd say its a lot more like Matterhorn 2. I can't wait to see their new animatronic Yeti for this one. *** Edited 5/6/2005 6:23:09 PM UTC by CoasterFanMatt***

Here are some more pictures and information! Notice the new AK logo that has the traditional animals and Tree of Life, but not it's infront of a giant mountain....
