Expedition Everest Behind the scenes - Photos, Artwork, and Videos
The opening of Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom was a major event : Imagineering was back at his best! This huge E-ticket attraction is undoubtedly one of the best achievement from WDI imagineers. Its stunning theming made it an instant success , and here is a tribute to Joe Rhode and his team of imagineers with a great "behind the scenes" documentary.
I must add that it is one of the best making-of i ever seen on any Disney attraction.
As always at WDI, it all begin with models and artwork, let's have a look first at some renderings.
Then, it's the time to do the models...
