The Nepalese Coke bottles, pot-bellied stoves and a few Buddha statues are real, imported from Asia. The tattered handbills and intricate woodwork are handcrafted, in some cases by Himalayan artisans, to meet Disney's needs. The 200-foot-high mountain range and robotic abominable snowman are designers' dreams brought to reality.
Detail is what people get for the kind of money Walt Disney World spent building Expedition Everest, the new mega-ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
The ride is the combination of a story attraction -- about the Abominable Snowman known in the Himalayas as the yeti -- with a roller coaster known at Disney as a runaway train.
