Not my creation but completely appropriate!

So when you have someone saying this:
They are wrong? Even though they claim this came from Imagineers, and other engineers familar with the mechanics of the attraction?
Given what I've been told, and who by, and shown, I would say they are misinformed.

This is the place where that "fact" breeds, people say it all the time on threads.

A bus driver confirmed he'll be back to A-mode by Memorial Day.

The attraction hasn't even gone down, I will be very surprised if this actually happens though I am pretty doubtful. I wish it to be true though.
Anything that starts with "a bus driver" is kind of a running joke

It won't have to go down to replace the Yeti..

Another important point. If history is any indication, I'd get your CTRL-V fingers ready; we have to repeat this at least twice a page.

I doubt they could replace it over night while the park is closed, and I don't assume they would run the attraction without it in there. So I believe the attraction would have to go down to replace/ repair the Yeti no matter the time frame. I'm in the current mindset that the Yeti will never be fixed just so I don't get my hopes up, if Disney proves me wrong great if not no use crying over spilled milk.

I heard a rumor that they're just going to take it out and put a cast member in a gorilla suit in its place.

You think that many people actually see the Yeti right now? Or that many people will actually miss the Yeti if it is removed? I doubt it. In it's current state it is useless since the flashing of the strobe prevent a person from actually seeing the Yeti. Going from dark to several successive flashes like that do not allow the eyes to adjust. My point is, they can remove him, run the ride and no one would notice other than hardcore fans, and then put him back in once he is fixed. I do agree that he will propbably never get fixed though. However, it is not because of any logistical issue, but more to do with apathy.

That's not true at all.
Most guests do see the Yeti because there are visual and audio clues that he's there.
He's kind of hard to miss, and if anything the strobe effect fools a lot of people into thinking that he's moving.
Heck, the illusion of motion is so strong that several times a year we have people post in this very thread thinking that they've seen it move again.
