Hearing from a few sources that the yeti will be fixed soon. Now that pandora land has opened Disney will be able to fix the yeti at Animal Kingdom. This is great relief for me and I know a lot of people because I know it's been down for a while now. I was disappointed when it was still down durning my spring trip. I thought it would've been fixed over the next couple of months but I was disappointed when I rode it the other day and it wasn't. I'm hearing now though that image neering now has the resources to fix it and it should be fixed soon. Praying my sources are right but they usually are on these kinda of things

11 years too long of asking and asking....It's come up to the point of going straight up to Joe Rhode and saying..

Would love to hear if any other insiders on here have anything to say on this, this could potentially be huge if true.
Who will be the first to crush the new member's spirit and hope?

Or is it the OP's intent to give us false hope?
Personally I believe an EE refurb is coming, but I don't see that happening until 2018 at the earliest.

Since the yeti has been in B mode for over 11 years, I'll believe it when I see it.

From what I understand, the current AA figure can't really be fixed. The way it was designed and installed, its movement was literally shaking the mountain loose. It's possible they could get in there and completely remove it and change it to another kind of AA but I certainly haven't heard of such a thing happening.That would be big news and all over the place.

The Yeti figure is not attached to the mountain. It was also installed after the mountain was built and has been removed in the past.

"Fixed" (AKA Screen with a projection)
We already have one, we don't need two
but LOLI'll believe this when I see it.
That being said it's long past time for Everest to close for some work. JMO. I have no illusions about the Yeti being operational again.
Here we go again

Is there motion in the head or does it move because the body moves when the arm swings?

@lazyboy97o, I respect your knowledge and your posts. But is there any confirmation that the Yeti has been removed in the past? I watched a video (seemed creditable) that the hand/arm of the yeti is built into the mountain frame, yada yada, we know the story. How can we confirm?

I was wrong. It does move. I just watched this video: I agree, they could have defined "B Mode" as including some light Yeti movement.
There are a number of promotional videos that Disney put out stating that the Yeti, the mountain and track support structure are separate and do not interact with each other.
We also know that the Yeti was installed after the mountain was built.
Lastly, it has been confirmed by multiple sources that the yeti has been fully removed at least once.

Quick! Tell him a bus driver told you that the monorail is being expanded, Horizons and JII are coming back and the Villians park is confirmed as a 5th gate!
