I think he meant at DCA
Report from Cousin, final day of his trip. No steam or bird. Yeti in B Mode (OBVIOUSLY)
In loving memory of Mr. Yeti:

The few times I got to ride EE, the Yeti wasn't even in Disco mode - he was just covered with a black tarp. It is sad when I think the Disco Yeti people got lucky. If it was to replace him, okay, but 4 years later and he is still stagnant.
I went through the queue and I knew the Yeti was coming, but not for me. Going by the queue, the Yeti is kind of the main point of the ride. Such a big let down to an otherwise fun coaster.

The yeti is a fun effect, but for me he is in no way the main point of the ride. The coaster itself is the main point, and has always been one of my favorites!

How can it be getting worse and worse if this is how the ride has been for 8 years?

When I rode it in late June there were tons and tons of hair ties thrown up where the track "breaks"
It was kind of ridiculous and very unsightly... Anyone know if they're still there?

There was a whole thread about that a couple of weeks ago. Apparently it's a thing that people do, for some reason.

Fog?

I did a double take as well. There IS supposed to be fog in the tunnel scenes near the top of the mountain and (I think) the track switch after the reverse section and before the big drop. But it's supposed to have been disabled a long time ago for some reason (i've even heard people claim it messed with the sensors though this may just be BS), apparently even before the yeti was switched off.
I'd be very shocked if the fog was working again, maybe it was a typo. Or perhaps a cast member turned the effect on by accident (assuming the hardware is still present for the effect and in working order)
The fog was removed from what I've heard. It was messing up the track

Sorry - just saw this.
I definitely recall seeing "fog" as we started the ride - in the "valley" by the second waterfall. Perhaps is was mist from the water fall but if it was it was different than the first waterfall which had no such "mist". It seemed to be coming down the side of the mountain - I have a picture of it as it caught my attention. Bottom left corner. Again, perhaps it's a combination of the waterfall and the sun hitting it just right, but when I was riding I perceived it as fog coming down the mountain. You can see it further up as well.

If I had to guess, that's probably just real mist. It's pretty common in Florida, especially common during the early morning when things are humid. I assume this picture to be at least somewhat early in the day considering that the sun is hitting the mountain only on the eastern side. So it's likely somewhat prior to noon, again when natural fog has a good chance of being seen.
I don't believe that's where the fog machines were either.

I was there the same week and the week after and I agree with your report. I was not aware of a fog effect either, figured it was just always something with the time of day. Yeti did seem to be reaching further but I can't say if that is just me hoping or reality. Anyone who says the ride is not good anymore due to these things is way off base in my opinion. It would obviously make it that much better but the newbies I was there with loved it and put it in their top 5 in all of parks.
