The best I can find is the above. Doesn't someone have an awesome GIF of the Yeti from the front in full A-Mode? Or maybe it's a test run with his full range of motion. I know I've seen it here somewhere, but can't find it.

That's the one...I knew I could count on you. Thanks!
Any details on the history behind this shot? Obviously, done in a testing environment, but on ride?

I hope people who don't understand why people are disappointed in the current state of the Yeti see this.
It's often seen as being "good enough" or "something you barely see anyway", and people who criticize it are seen as nit picking.
The Yeti really was a sight to see, and lamenting the loss of the "complete" Expedition Everest experience is not just complaining for complaining's sake.

We need to get a Sarah Macgachlan commercial going to raise funds to get the Yeti fixed..."for less than the cost of a cup of coffee per day you too can help get the paralyzed Yeti the medical help he so desperately needs" (In The Arms of an Angel playing in the background)
I went on Everest last year for the first time. I saw no Yeti at all during the ride. It was there, because I asked the person next to me if I was supposed to see something. The response was "Yes, the Yeti".
But I couldn't see it. Don't know if it was too fast to see, I wasn't looking in the right area, I was "sun-blind" or what.
But damn, I'd love to have seen an animatronic Yeti.

Took me three rides to actually see the yeti even when it was in A mode. I think a bigger deal is made out of it than needs to be as it is such a quick scene you are flying through. The Yeti would have been better perhaps where the projection of him ripping the track up is. You would get to see it in full action. It is still an intimidating creature when you know to look for him even in Disco mode, but getting him fixed up should still be a priority. Why build something so amazing and leave it to rot? Hopefully with a few more additions to the park they can try to fix or replace it.
I didn't have the same trouble seeing it. I can still remember my first ride on Everest and I was amazed when I saw the Yeti and even remember saying, "That almost hit me!!"
I think some people (not saying you) have seen the Yeti in some kind of B mode or not moving at all and the lighting was totally different in those circumstances. When it first opened and operated properly, there was no missing it.

While I agree with you, and wish the yeti was working again, I think people take it too far when they say that the entire ride should be shut down as long as the yeti is busticated. I think it's a pretty awesome coaster even without the yeti. But that doesn't mean that I don't wish for the day when he's all better and swooping down to terrorize us all again.

Same could be said for SpectroMagic.
It's such a shame they are talking up the engineering and that's what ultimately failed.

The best way to see him really good in his current state is to ride it at night. When we done the DVC event over there we rode it over and over and man he looks great at night. You can definitely see him much better. Still is lame that he doesn't exactly "work" like he's supposed to though.
