Expedition Everest, which soft-opened yesterday afternoon following months of refurbishment, failed to open with the rest of Disney’s Animal Kingdom this morning on its planned, official reopening day. Sarah Riles, VP of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, has sent out the following message to guests via the My Disney Experience app:

On behalf of the entire team at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, l’d like to apologize that Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain is currently unavailable. Our Cast Members have been working diligently to get the attraction up and running again, and we are sorry you are not able to experience this attraction at this time. I hope you will enjoy some of our other attractions during your experience in the park today.
Sarah Riles, Vice President Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Here’s our experience as being the first riders back during yesterday’s soft opening period:
