Yeti to Return Inside Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom

The announcement arrived mid-show. On the "Horizons: A Carousel of Progress" stage at D23: The Ultimate Fan Event presented by Visa, host Neil Patrick Harris was interrupted by Thomas Mazloum, Chairman of Disney Experiences, with news big enough to rattle a mountain: "We're bringing the Yeti back to life inside Expedition Everest at Disney's Animal Kingdom!"

The crowd reaction was loud enough to rival the creature itself. Disney then gave its long-dancing Yeti a proper farewell, bringing out Gloria Gaynor to perform her 1978 disco hit "I Will Survive."

###Expedition Everest at a glance

The nearly 200-foot Forbidden Mountain sits inside Disney's Animal Kingdom and hides a legendary secret.
The story starts in the queue, where a trailside museum presents evidence of campground attacks, sketches of reported sightings and a mold of an enormous yeti footprint.
Guests board an old tea train car for the climb up the rocky peaks.
More signs of the mountain's guardian appear during the high-speed ride itself, including torn sections of track.
The attraction draws on the northwest face of Mount Everest and on geological elements found in Tibet and Nepal.

Disney says further news on the Yeti's return will follow.
