This just in: Yeti still not yetiing.

They used to call James Brown, "The hardest working man in show business". So, I think it's fair to say, that the Expedition Everest Yeti is "The hardest to get working attraction in show business".
Friend was at WDW last week. Says no light on Yeti, strobe or otherwise.

I was there a few weeks ago and the strobe effect was a small percentage of what it has been in previous years. If I hadn't known the Yeti was there, I would've had no idea.
Ron Jeremy has an autobiography going, if I remember right, and I thought part of the title had the same phrase("hardest working man......")
Maybe I'm wrong as that was a few years back

I have it on good authority they're finally gonna fix it!! A giant animatronic Olivia something-or-other is going to replace the yeti, including the projection. 
No no. She's clearly replacing Bird on a stick. She appear over the mountains edge and serenade you. Yeti will now be decked out in all her merch to promote her brandI have it on good authority they're finally gonna fix it!! A giant animatronic Olivia Rodrigo is going to replace the yeti, including the projection.

Need to push a Save The Yeti Campaign! No guarantees such a campaign would have impact to get Disney to take care of the Yeti issues, but, then again it might?

Wishful thinking, but I'd sign such a campaign. Problem is it's not about the guest experience with this situation. It's all about the $$$$$. Why fix it at this point. From their perspective, who cares. No fewer people are riding the ride, so why spend hundreds of thousands or even millions fixing it.

If done right they could actually make a mini celebration out of it by selling new merch, food & bev noting that the yeti is back or even behind the scenes tours. It wouldn't get them all of their money back but could help.

I mean, if they could at least get his arm to move a little, I would be happy. This isn't some minor show effect...the yeti was always meant to be the centerpiece of the attraction.
I wonder how Josh feels about the Yeti situation...
