A fun moment in the ride occurs when the trajectory forward comes to a sudden halt: the track's torn up, just in front of a precipice. Sit near the front of the train for the best experience.

On the other hand, if you want the most G-force, sit near the back.

Don't expect nauseating G-force, by the way: Expedition Everest has been designed "for everyone". Teens will like the ride, but it won't traumatize the grandparents and younger kids. You do have to be 44 inches tall to get on board.
