    Yeti is indeed being fixed! Update 8/4/2014

    Over time, the viscosity of the fluid begins to break down. It needs to be changed regularly as they do "run" the Yeti on special occasions. It is purely maintenance to keep the huge investment in working order even if they do not run him like he should for 99% of the time. I was in the...

    Yeti is indeed being fixed! Update 8/4/2014

    They still have to repair hydraulic issues occasionally just as I mentioned. As well as clean his hair and other minor things. I have been inside the mountain, I have seen the cracks with my own eyes. Believe it or not, makes no difference to me. I could go through these forums and dispel a LOT...

    Yeti is indeed being fixed! Update 8/4/2014

    I know everyone really wants the Yeti to run in "A" mode again, but I hate to be the bearer of bad news - it ain't going to happen. The Yeti himself is fine. He has had some hydraulics issues now and then but all very fixable. The main problem is not the Yeti himself. It is the concrete base he...

    Hopefully going back. Alternative to the late P.I. clubs?

    there are so many good places, the obstacle is getting off property when you are a CP cast member. 1st thing, make friends with someone who has a car! There are all kinds of little bars, places to go. Join a softball team there on property... plenty of drinking after, I promise!

    Imagineers at future MI coaster building.

    You know, I had difficulty with it too at first but there are some good things that come from it believe it or not. You are able to get more specialized people to do very specialized things. It greatly reduces production cost allowing for bigger and better attractions, resorts, what have you. I...

    Imagineers at future MI coaster building.

    I had a choice, just not a good one. I did the lighting control design for Kidani Village & Bay Lake Tower as well as some work on Toy Story Mania. Imagineering is funny the way they operate now. LOTS of interns and even more outsourcing. Pretty much the only people that are on permanent staff...

    They do have a CM at the Beach Club pool!! Checks your Keys to the Kingdom Pass before giving you a wrist band. At least they used to. I never had an issue at any other pool...
