Here's one of the images we took this past Saturday, June 27th:

If this is the case I don't disagree but let's not forget they spent more on the Yeti than many parks spend on an entire attraction. So I'm sure the repair costs are also sky high... Still want it fixed though...
Don't forget that if they fix Yeti they would also have to reinstall the fastpass machines and singles queue as the ride would no longer be a walk-on.
Oh wait. Nevermind.

Why are you trying to start something?

I get tired of yeti talk in every thread. Making the point without "starting" anything.

will probably be painted once it is up, for uniform coloration

and depending on the foreground materials used to hide it, will it be go-away green, or fly away blue?

What I found interesting was those light up signs at the end of the queue were actually lit up which I've never seen them on and one of them actually changed to another sign / advertisement.

It was a test - you now see those type of posters in the new GMR queue.

A test? But the devices are still on display in the queue. If they work why wouldn't they just turn them on?

Saw this picture over at MiceChat, looks like you will be able to see the floating mountains from other parts of the park.

So, since the fervor over the imminent spending of billions has died down a little, I thought I would update with some photos I saw online of the recent work being done on the Hallelujah Mountains.
I think that these really capture how ludicrous the shape of this feature is going to be. Not being associated with this type of construction, I assume the steel appendages coming out everywhere are for the future addition of the wire mesh and rock work that is yet to come. And there is a worker visible in the last photo that shows again how massive this is going to be. And also, it is clear that unless they are going to add some very tall vegetation at the front of the park, the mountains will be VERY visible when entering the queue lines. This thing is going to look both monstrous and wicked as it continues to grow, as I do not believe that this is the highest point.

My guess is those spikes come out of the feature so that they attach scaffolding to work on it a la the everest video above and that some will be cut off after rockwork is finished while others are where the mesh attaches. Just a guess...

I don't doubt that the mountains could end up being slightly higher than what we see here, but I do doubt that they'll get too much higher. Any other large steel appendages would have probably been added earlier in construction. I'm no engineer, though.
What I really wish we could see are the bottoms of the structures and how these things sit in the ground.

@twebber55, what do you think? Is this at its highest point? I thought that it was still going to be higher. If compared to the released concept art of the floating mountain model, I don't think that this is the highest point. The next mountain to the right (yet to be built) should be higher…I think.
YES!
go back and look at the 37 second video, the mtns to the right of the mtn that we can see are taller..im guessing what we see is about 100 ft and the tallest peaks are around 140 (which @danlb_2000 guessed)
the tallest part wont have a foundation they will be off the ground
