First off, let me state I'm not going to be a "RaRa" this is the best Disney has ever done guy. Nope, not here.
Lets break this down into 3 parts, Queue, Ride, Gift shop.
Queue: Wow, well they did a great job. All I can say, look at the props. Look at the fake wood, that's really made of cement. Yes, I'd have to say that they must have blew allot of the budget on just the queue alone. To bad that they had nothing left over for the ride itself. Oh, and someone found some old lightbulbs on Ebay along with alot of old stuff. Damn good work on the queue.
Ride: Yes the steam effect as your train leaves the station is cool. Sadly, it's rather poorly done what with the big "CAUTION HOT STEAM" stickers all over the device. Sort of killed the illusion for me. The ride itself is okay, though I thought I was riding the Matterhorn at Disneyland for a few moments there what with the "Icey White Tunnels" and all. Sadly, we loose what could have been a great ride right at the very top. First you see this great Yeti painting and your train comes to a stop by some twisted up tracks and you see a "Plastic" bird! Good god, why? Why? WHY? Has Imagenering lost all common sense?
Couldn't we have a Yeti pop up, menace you and tear up some more tracks? That would be cool, but a BIRD? Ugh.
We now have the backwards portion. Nice, in all the best part of the ride really. As I can go on BTTM and do a helix on that.
Of course, what would the ride be without the "Yeti who is so big he's not even connected to the building" okay, well. Yea, it was NOT scary. In fact, I did not ask myself "Is this real?" no, I asked myself, "How much did we pay for that?" Oh wait; there was also a projection of a Yeti. Forgot about that, I've seen Ren and Stimpy cartoons that fit better than that did. Why was there a Yeti shadow there? Was there a hole in the wall that let light in? What about at 5pm in the winter when it's dark out? What casts the light for that Shadow effect? Get my drift. At least over at Splash it's a fireplace. Again, couldn't we have had a really cool Yeti figure? Heck, it would have enough time to really "SCARE" you to scream like a girl. But no. We only get a quick 2 sec look at something that moves it's arms really fast. Stitch is more lifelike over at Mk.
Gift shop: Yea, well done. Looks great, but we all knew that would be the case. That's where the money is made, so of course it's going to be good.
So that's it. My review. I bet plenty of Disney fans won't like it. To bad, you see this ride could have been great. I mean it, really freaking good. But, again we get a so-so eh, okay ride. Don't wait more than 45 mins for it; you'll hate yourself in the morning.
BTW- What is with the new thing of cast members wearing there ID's out when they are not working. Sorry, but your off the clock and not in uniform. So don't walk thur the park with a big yellow ID hanging around your neck. Bad show. Then again, half of them doing it were CP's makeing $5.75 a hour, so they could care less.
