Also of note, the work lights being on under the track right as you enter the final tunnel.
This what you’re referring to?

They're never going to fix the Yeti. How do you put that expense down on a spreadsheet and justify it? Even at some point in the future where they actually have to replace the track (a decade or two away - maybe more; Look at Space Mountain - it's more). If they had to pull apart the entire side of the mountain to replace the track, they're still not going to fix the Yeti. It doesn't pay anything more back being active than it does having a strobe on it. It's never going to happen.

I just consider myself lucky to have ridden it in April 2006 after it opened. Steam effects, moving yeti... You felt like the yeti’s hand was actually going to grab you, and you could almost reach out and touch it. It was glorious. I yearn for guests to experience a moving yeti again one day. Strobe lights can’t come close to simulating the thrill.
And not seeing the tracks switch and then falling through the fog and out of the mountain... that was an even bigger loss than the moving yeti imho.
