Disney officially describes Expedition Everest as:

Stroll through a Tibetan village at the foot of Mount Everest and board a train for the ‘Top of the World’. Warning: some say that a legendary snow monster lives deep in the mountain.

After a steep climb, your train picks up speed and heads into the dark. Without warning, a broken and crooked track appears in front of you. Prepare as you plunge into total darkness. Inside the cave, the mythical story comes true when you see the shadow of a huge growling beast!

Race to escape the Cursed Mountain, before the Yeti calls for another expedition.
