Photos of Disney's Nepalese Expedition Everest coaster theming

Prof. Pema Dorje at the University of Michigan dispatched a student to document the incredible theming at Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom's newest ride, Expedition Everest. Expedition Everest is an elaborately themed rollercoaster that is meant to evoke a trip up from a Nepalese base-camp to the summit of Everest, where the Yeti lurk. The Nepalese theming is nothing short of incredible — obsessively detailed, clever, witty and respectful, and these 115 photos document it in great detail, as do the general photos taken by other Flickr users.

(Thanks, Pema!)

Update: CC sez, "I'm pretty sure "Prof. Pema Dorje" is the fictional curator for the 'Yeti Museu'" which is part of the Everest queue. I rode yesterday and the pics do not give the themeing of this attraction justice. Imagineering is back doing what Imagineering does best."
