If you're looking for the Yeti, don't go to Orlando. At least not until April.

Expedition Everest -- Legend of the Forbidden Mountain, a popular roller coaster in Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, closed on Tuesday for refurbishment.

The attraction's reopening is planned for mid-April, according to Disney.

On the ride, guests board a train at the base of "Mount Everest," and take an increasingly harrowing trip through the mountain and its surroundings, culminating with an encounter, and race away from, the Yeti.
