Expedition Everest
Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 5th, 2011
Correspondent Alexzandra Talbot recently took the following photograph at Expedition Everest and posted it on Facebook today.
It shows my contributions (the Slick footcast photograph and my book) to the Animal Kingdom’s Expedition Everest “museum,” which is the exhibit area that folks in line go through before taking the ride.
I appreciate her sharing this on FB, quite appropriately right before I fly into Orlando, on my way to Ripley’s Believe Or Not! Museum on Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th.
The ultimate goal of the ride is to see the following, of course:
Below is an earlier view of the Disney World museum which is not as sharp as Ms. Talbot’s:
About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
I’m not sure I would consider this altogether flattering when you really want cryptozoology to be taken seriously.
At any rate, for those (like me) who have never been on this ride, there are some films of it on youtube.
