EE Update Feature

[Jose Eber]

Incidentally, these:

are how staff measures the height requirement -- one right by each entry (fastpass or standby)

And one is hanging the yeti footprint carved out of wood.

Jose, did you make it out there today?

 

[Jose Eber]

No, my wife dragged me out to EPCOT Center for a spell and I just felt me getting a bit more sick. So no -- maybe I'll head out for the last hour?

How about you? You been?

 

[mkt]

unless I can get an EMH wristband, I'm not gonna head out there. I'm waiting for a delivery that won't get here till after 4 today... by that time, I'd be getting to AK at about 5. Maybe tomorrow.

 

[Jose Eber]

Weekends I hear are kinda useless to get info because the workers get the weekends off etc. And I imagine Imagineers get weekends off too -- unless someone can say otherwise -- ?

 

[mkt]

I've seen it running on a Sunday before... and people doing work on it on weekends. Just not as much activity as say... Monday

 

[Jose Eber]

Huh.. Maybe I'll head out or something -- I don't know. Still under the weather!!! All these trips I took during the week just prolonged my sickeness. But I've lost weight, so I'm o.k. with it all And I haven't been sick in years, so I should count my blessings!

 

[mkt]

If the delivery driver is here by 4, I'll hit the road straight to AK. Since it's EMH tonight, it won't be as big of a deal to stand by the wall after park hours

I forgot to mention that too Jose... they are playing more region appropriate music in the area, and considerably louder background and animal noise.

Animal noise? Isn't the only animal in that region the yeti?

Which is the part that you have to be taller than?

nope... even Antarctica has more than one type of animal inhabiting it.

*SMACK!*

 

[Jose Eber]

AK : you can hear the yeti roar inside the mountain sometimes.

Also, you have to be at the underside to fit -- either in the middle or (in the picture) on the left outside the left post. If the child's head reaches the underside of the post, he/she is 'good'.

 

[mkt]

delivery just arrived... time to get changed, grab the camera gear, and hit the road

**Edit**

on second thought... I'll take a break today. Time for more Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup

 

[EpcotServo]

Wow, there needs to be like a 20/20 report when this opens. "MKT and Jose Eber: The unsung heros of EVEREST" :lol:

 

[mkt]

I'm pondering purchasing an extra tall tripod to hold my camera over walls... the 20k Walls were definitely shorter than this when its at full height

WDWScottieboy has contributed to this thread just as much as MKT if not more -- and from what I've heard rumor wise, he might just end up having the ultimate scoop from us all three (although this is my thread -- if he gets what he thinks might be heading his direction -- he need his own thread).

But for now, I'll use this as my own thread to do the core daily weekday updates (health is clearing up now -- oh I suffer for my work!).

It would be great if others came up with their own EE updates. Be it weekly or daily etc.

Jose

Yes... and Scottie does have that kickbootie Zoom lens

I'm going to try to get over there tomorrow after parade taping...and if it happens, expect a MASSIVE new thread to get started. :animwink:

And that camera will be with me just in case the major thing happens tomorrow, along with my camcorder.

:sohappy:

 

[Jose Eber]

Well, I doubt you'll be able to take photos -- BUT you'll have the best TR in a long time, if ever.

 

[Jose Eber]

Just remembered another thing that Joe Rohde said to a companion -- that the right side is the best side to ride the attraction -- you get a great view of the park...

BUT I noticed the guy was complaining a bit before Joe said that -- so maybe the Yeti is on the left
