In April 2006, Discovery Networks debuted original Everest-themed programs across several of its networks. The result of a unique alliance between Discovery Communications, Disney and Conservation International, these original specials explore the majesty and mystery of the world's tallest mountain — Mount Everest.

Disney's Expedition Everest

Everest programming on the Discovery Networks coincided with the opening of Walt Disney World's newest attraction.

The fabled yeti comes to life at Expedition Everest™, a dramatic high-speed, high-altitude train adventure introduced at Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Park as part of the Happiest Celebration on Earth.

Hop aboard a train bound for Mount Everest. Treacherous chasms and hairpin turns are just the start of the action as you race up, down and even backwards through the mountain, swerving down spiraling curves, then through chilling, snowcapped peaks and ice caves. It all leads to an exciting encounter with the legendary Yeti.
