How do you know he's not going there? The public isnt privy to everything he does. Isnt it actually true that the secret service could say hes going to point A but really goes to point F as to not let the public in on his real plans.
You never know...He just might show up

I just heard that the Yeti will be in FULL operational mode "A" for the Presidents visit on Thursday.

According to the articles about his visit, he's only supposed to be on the ground in Orlando for a few hours. I'm pretty sure a ride on EE isn't in the plans....

Hasn't the yeti been turned on in the past for important events, like Disney execs showing up? It sounds like they're willing to risk the yeti's remaining structural integrity for the full show under special circumstances.

I'm sure that's all this is, assuming it's true. Which it very possibly isn't.

Considering where the thread got moved to, you're probably on the mark....

Won't the yeti in full A mode endanger the President's life? It's been so long who knows what will happen. President Obama could actually be snatched up by a malfunctioning yeti arm and dashed into the side of EE.

There's one for the trivia books: "Who was the only sitting U.S. president to be killed by a yeti?" :ROFLOL:

You mentioned "sitting U.S. president" specifically so I was trying to think of which US President was killed by a YETI after being in office.

Then I remembered it was Taft on a trip to Nepal in the 1930s. How could I have forgotten?

Little known fact that Clinton was attacked by one in Amsterdam the week after he left office. But that doesn't get reported much either. :lookaroun

Well, here's more trivia for ya: Who is the first U.S. President to actually kill a yeti?

If you said Teddy Roosevelt, you'd be right! On a Himalayan expedition in 1906 Teddy encountered the yeti. A titanic battle ensued...and by titanic I mean the yeti went down like the Titanic after hitting the iceberg. It really stood no chance against the original boss. Below is a commemorative picture of the encounter.
