[KingOfEpicocity]

Is the rumor that well get a fixed yeti after avatar is finished still being considered?

 

[KingOfEpicocity]

Yes, Everest could really use a refurb.

I agree. Bring back bird on a stick!!

@marni1971 has stated that the ride does not need to be shut down to repair the Yeti. If that is the case I don't see the opening of Avatar changing anything. If they do need to shut it down, then they would be better doing it in the months leading up to the opening of Avatar since Avatar could draw a lot more people into the park so you would want to be running at full capacity.

It was back...Did it fly away again?

 

[Marty Rotondo]

Yep. People complain about that all the time around here. Well. Not at the time. But sometimes.

Not necessarily complaining, well not at all actually. Lol

I know. Just saying. Many are upset about the light leaking.

That makes sense. On the other hand, the park would have a larger capacity with the avatar rides.

i know this might be considered off topic, but on Expedition Everest when you go backwards through the mountain in the dark, has anyone ever looked down and to the left and noticed that you can see lights and steel gurters inside the mountain? And it scared the crap out of you and thought the mountain was coming apart?

It's poor show that could be fixed with some of the tarps on the Spaceship Earth descent.

I'm going to assume the berm is for a bit of disguise so you can't see some of the land from the buses? Either way, progress is going mighty quick on it!
And about me saying ride testing, happened a while ago I know, but someone said it before I did, I went off their word. I don't know if it was truly official news.

@Magic Feather seems to be in the know on these projects. Any idea about an Everest refurb or the Yeti?

This is a good sign. I am very happy they're doing this. Shows that dedication to show quality is 100% dead throughout the resort. AK is the last park that doesn't have horrible show-related issues (Chester and Hester's notwithstanding).

Some interesting angles from (what seems like) inside the area and/or at least from backstage areas... it's further along than I expected... I dunno, I said it before and I'll say it again... it just feels like it's gatta be getting close(ish)... Earth Day 2017 seems a lot more possible now that it did a month or two ago... (though again, maybe it's just wishful thinking)

There is a lot of info in that blog about Pandora. I enjoyed that read. Still confused about the FoP ride vehicles though.

i ve got to admit the bench seating is somewhat disappointing for me although i guess you have to have bench seating simply for capacity reasons
