It's a mythological being. It can be whatever it wants.

Like Gozer the Gozerian.

Ghostbusters! :lol:

"Gozer the Gozerian! Good evening. As a duly designated representative of the city, county and state of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place or origin or to the nearest convenient parallel die-mension."

"That oughtta do it, thanks very much, Ray."

I thought we'd established that M. Yeti was reguarly in B-mode by late 2007 (second year of operation)?

I rode in March 2008 and he was definitely in A Mode at the time, however this is the last time I saw it in that mode.

^This. I saw him more than several times in 2008. 2009 was the first whole year without a Yeti sighting. (Personally. Though he was sighted in A show a few times in 2009.)

Does Madame Yeti have a name?


Fantasmic Dragons get names...:lol:

For the millionth time, the Yeti's a dude.

He's designed in this story to be a Dominant Male. Because of his height, territorial behaivor, and the large flat face.

She's a He? :lol:

The Yeti is named Finkel or Einhorn

 

[Wilt Dasney]

Until somebody hops out of the car and cops a feel, I'm not accepting anybody's word on the Yeti gender front.

 

[EpcotServo]

The Yeti is named Finkel or Einhorn

They laid the law early on that the Yeti not be personalized ala Harold. Once it gets out, people start taking it as fact that the name is "Harold" or whatever.

And I prefer "Mr.Yeti" personally.

CHHHHEeeeelllloooo MistaYETI!

:dazzle: nevermind :brick:





Why can't it be an obvious costume like the locals wearing it? Sort of like a ceremonial costume of a yeti.

They had a yeti stilt walker at the Rope Dropping Ceremony/Show for AK 10th Anniversary. I remember one video showing it but here is a picture from allears.net

I rode the ride today, for the first time in probably a year. I knew going into the ride that the Yeti was not going to be working, but I remember him at least having a strobe and at least frozen in a somewhat scary position.

I was very surprised when I rode that he basically was crouched down, facing down, not looking at the train, and maybe 4 flashes of light flashed on him all together. I thought maybe the light was so low to not add to his terrible shape, but it just was pretty pathetic in my opinion. Still a good ride though.

Wow - that is pathetic. Kinda like replacing the great white shark in Jaws with a gold fish.

 

[MiklCraw4d]

Me, too.
That day everything was working...excpet for the second waterfall...and the cave mist...heck, even the "blowing show on the mountain" effect was working that day.

The blowing show on the mountain?

Where's the line for Fastpass?!

Thanks for the good laugh!

Forget the yeti. Just fix that static hawk/eagle/vulture thing at the top. I miss him...

He was there and working when I rode EE in December. I don't know if he still is.

Keep fighting the good fight, but it may be a losing one. I've been trying for the last couple of years to gently correct posters on another site who claim that the yeti is a she. Some even insist that "her" name is Betti the Yeti. It doesn't help that there apparently are EE CMs who repeat this misinformation to guests. It's almost become DAK's version of HM's "wedding ring."

 

[UberMouse]

Wait wait wait...So that is not a a real Yettie?

I am so disappointed.

In my book "he" will always be named Buster. When he is in A mode for 2 years straight I will consider a name change.

Ok...I've got it. The ultimate Yeti solution.
Send somebody up to road to Uni. Make them a decent offer to buy one of their old King Kong animatronics.
Change the face and the fur, take away the banana breath....
Boom. For a bargain price you have the Yeti as he was conceptualized back in 2001-2002.
I'm a genius.

 

[UberMouse]

I always called it YET TO WORK YETTIE.
