From the Disney World website: “Take on the treacherous terrain of the towering Forbidden Mountain in this high-altitude, high-speed train adventure. Nail-biting hairpin turns hurl you forward toward the peak and then, just when you think it couldn’t get more thrilling – backward! The mountain’s full of surprises: Beware the snarling beast who watches over his domain… the Yeti! “

While waiting in line we could hear people screaming and a few of us weren’t too sure we still wanted to do it.

No such thing as “easing into” the rides this time. Last time we did a few of the kid type roller coaster before tackling the adult ones. Not this time. This time we started out with the newest, biggest, and scariest one (LOL). After that we could tackle ANYTHING. Here are our friends waiting in line with Amanda and Emily in the row behind them.Josh did NOT want to go on this ride. He had seen the promotional video on the Disney World website before we left home and that was enough to scare him off… but he had to stick with us and none of us wanted to give up our place in line and not ride the ride, although one of us would have if he absolutely refused to go. He went and I think he was glad to have conquered it when it was all said and done. Here you can see the little train going up into the mountain and in the next picture you see it coming down the mountain.I was NOT ready for the backwards portion of this ride. After you get up the mountain aways and go through several turns you come to a dead end. It didn’t even cross my mind that we would start going backwards. I figured the gate would open and you’d plummet to the bottom from there. Not so. Backwards we went for a very fast and what seemed like a very long time.Overall, it was a great ride and I would definitely do this one again next time. Obviously, I didn’t take any pictures while riding this ride. I was too busy hanging ON for dear life!
