I believe the concern is that it will fall over onto the track because its super structure is damaged and can no longer take the power of the thrust used to lurch over you.

I read somewhere on this thread that the yeti can move without failure, but we're all just paranoid

Yes, he can move but supposedly what he is mounted to is broken and can no longer handle the thrust.
What I meant is that the damage to his foundation is minimal and that they're just being cautious by turning him off

so what is he supposed to do?
He looked pretty huge and menacing on a ride through video I saw

What the frell is going on with Walt Disney Imagineering??? Frozen Ever After breaks down all the time, the yeti in Everest is still a zombie, and now there's an AA in Iger's precious Shanghai that's gone 101? This is pathetic!
Shanghai and Frozen are new and are having "growing pains" . Yeti is 10 years of headache and is dead.
From my understanding, Q'roc is turning into Yeti #2. However, I'd love to be proved wrong

Oh good grief.
Charlie Brown be proud! But really, it seems like Q'roc might have a very yeti-like fate. Hasn't Disney learned from the yeti about using huge AAs?

From what I understand, the gator bot is one of those things that look great under the right conditions. Other than daylight, I think the vehicles are too close for the show system's liking. In other words, I think that scene's problem is that it doesn't get enough time to reset.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the animatronic itself is no way damaged or disabled. I think it's a very different issue than the Yeti. The only thing the two have in common is their (apparent) size. (Though I'd love to see specifics, lol.)
Croc doesn't do much compared to the Yeti, movement-wise; seems somewhat effective. I'd say they have learned some lessons from Mr. Disco.

I don't think Frozen is still breaking down all the time, is it? I haven't honestly heard anything either way, I just assumed that no news was good news.

I've read in the Frozen Ever After thread that the ride still having issues, unfortunately.

I've read in the Frozen Ever After thread that the ride still having issues, unfortunately.
I rode it twice last week, first time all effects working. Second time, the first Olaf was working except for his feet.
I think it's finally time to rename this thread for good: "How Everest has Been Getting Worse for 10 Years?"
