Mount Everest is arriving in Times Square this morning, courtesy of a massive Disney publicity stunt to promote a new thrill ride soon to open at its Animal Kingdom theme park in Orlando, Fla.

Onlookers near the TKTS booth on Broadway and 47th Street will have a prime view of the spectacle, which features a team of aerial acrobats dancing off a pair of giant billboards on the side of the W Hotel and the Argent Mortgage Company building. The acrobats, members of a troupe called Project Bandaloop, will perform at about 10 a.m. to an original musical score while suspended on strings hundreds of feet in the air.
