I might actually be heading down there in Febuary or April. If I go in April I will possibly miss El TORO'S opening but it looks like EE might be opening earlier than that if it is already testing. So Febuary looks like iit has a good shot too. It all depends on its opening date.
El Toro is one hell of a bull !!!

I am going down to visit BGT, all four Disney parks, and Universals parks through 10/27- 11/3. I'll post pictures of Expedition Everest as soon as I get back.

Cool.  I love any Disney park updates :)

If you are staying on property, be sure to take advantage of the Extra Magic Hours for Animal Kingdom.  It is so neat being in there late at night.  Its a park people don't normally get to see in at night.  Plus, thats when I saw EE testing ;)

Nice Job.  Its amazing how they already started opening that area up.  I'll be there the last 2 weeks of January so HOPEFULLY they start early openings for test and adjust like they did for MS and Soarin.  Or better yet, maybe the AP preview will be during that time  :)

It won't officially open until April, these are just soft openings for annual passholders.

From these videos, can we say that this ride is really awesome? The theming and the backwards section and the yeti, just pure genius. I want to go to florida so bad.

I'll bring back a fully detailed TR next week from the AP previews :)

This thing is gonna rock!  It will likely be one of those attractions that goes down as one of the greatest ever.

Btw- Only select cast, imagineers, vip's and certain family members have ridden so far.  AP previews and DVC members can get on next Wed. - Sat.

I can't wait!

Oh man that was amazing. I agree overlord I want to to go Florida :D The ride looks great, from the theming, to the storyline, to the ride itself.

Wow, we were probably there at the same time!

I'm not even going to bother with a full TR after looking at Kevins.  I can't compete with that!

Its a GREAT attraction.  I'll add my thoughts on it later though...

In the videos I seen of it, I dont know I am not as excited as other new rides this year. I am in no rush to go down there and ride it.
