Expedition Everest Undergoes Quiet Refurbishment While Remaining Open

The work reflects a parkwide transition with overlapping projects in Animal Kingdom.

Overview

  • Scrim was installed at Expedition Everest’s loading and unloading areas on January 12, indicating active refurbishment work.
  • The coaster remains operational during the updates in what observers describe as a rolling refurbishment.
  • Disney has not announced the project, provided details on scope, or given an end date for the work.
  • Reports note that performing visible maintenance on a high-speed, technically complex attraction during operation is uncommon.
  • The development coincides with broader changes in the park, including the phased DinoLand closure with DINOSAUR set to close on February 1, a Tree of Life permit filing, and Harambe Market being closed.
