Expedition Everest effects status watch

... and it's even harder to find one with yeti actually working, but I know where it is

Link? My son has been looking for this video. He rode the original version way back when and wants to show his sister.

Everest, ToT, and Rock n Rollercoaster are three of our families favorite rides - outside of classics like Pirates.
If I can give you some advice, if you've only got Everest fastpassed at Animal Kingdom - get there at opening (before actually) and go directly to the Safari before it fills up.
That way you'll hit a major attraction with hopefully little wait, and you will be scheduled for your Everest ride (I'm assuming) after that.
With those two down, you can enjoy your time in the park more.

Don't go directly to Safari if you have any desire to ride FOP without a FP though. Go there first.

I meant I know where in the ride the yeti is lol. Here's some videos that might help, though the train is going to fast for the older cameras to really catch it.

I thought that might be the case after I wrote what I wrote.
Pandora wasn't open on our last trip to WDW - and it kills me that we haven't been back there since. Too many major things needed to be done in the house we moved to 3 1/2 years ago.
So, yes - FOP before Safari.

Also: The 100's of hairbands make a nice addition to the top of what is supposed to be a forbidden mountain.

I can't tell if you're kidding or not. Most folks here (me included) think the hairbands are an abomination and should be cleaned up much more frequently than they do now.

They are just going for realism as the actual real life Everest is a garbage dump.

The mountain in Expedition Everest is not Everest, it's "The Forbidden Mountain." But yeah it still kinda fits with the theme, humans not respecting the land. Not excusing the hairbands though, it would be so easy to clean them up once a week and they don't do it.

How do they get up there to clean the hairbands? Is there some secret platform they can stand on? Do they have to use a crane?

There is stairs / walkways to the left of the track. They could probably clean it out daily if they wanted to.

It is a two person job with OSHA required safety equipment. They do clean it. Just not as often as they should.

I expected dead bodies from Rohde.

So did I. I bet Disney legal vetoed adding Mr. Green Boots.

 

[Corgi]

Isn't the hairbands area at the tallest part of the ride? After that, youre just going downhill.

I can't tell if that's funny or just sad

It starts off as funny and then the reality of the situation hits you.

Posted today, good channel, good video, with lots of footage of the working yeti. Most if it has been shared in this thread over the years but its nice to see it all in one place.
