As I was writing the update I too was thinking -- well -- what type of saftey latchet system do steep 'trains' have -- wouldn't they have a little noise? What do I know about mountain trains. You however, know something!
I'll mention it to Diego
Interesting note on the sign - "The seating and restraints on this attration may prevent guests of certain body shapes or sizes from riding". Nice way out of any potential lawsuits about discriminating against those with certain body shapes or sizes. :lookaroun I'm not in either of those categories, but I am by no means a small person.

Yes, that is a funicular railway.
The most famous cog railway in the United States is probably the Mt. Washington Cog Railway -- http://www.thecog.com/.
regarding this image... I have heard from a reputable source that the Yeti has been having some electrical/mechanical issues... like a Volkswagen Jetta. They're probably redoing some wiring.
Jose, out of curiosity, what vantage point did you shoot from?
Oh that was a joke btw. :lookaroun
All that is is Animal Kingdom's parking lot.
Those photos have nothing to do with the Yeti (although initially I thought they did). All they are is the utility program (piping). All those trucks were about installing a CIPP inside an existing storm drain (I'm looking at osceola overpass right before sherberth) in the AK parking lot.

Excellent photos. I look forward to the many updates to come since I can't visit for several more weeks.
A few things to report today:
A 72 hour testing will commence end of December (72 hours straight operation). December 27-29th I believe.
Disney intends to have DVC, Passholder and Cast all come around the same time for rehearsal.
Added a new sound effect yesterday.
Yeti doesn't work 100% of the time.
Fastpass time is the 'current' time now.
Cast has to wear construction helmets. They do have hats, but they haven't been released yet.
Costume:
Scaffolding still there by waterfall. Didn't see it on while I was there.
Some new props:
Construction esthetic:
Speakers inside of transformer (see grill):

Ah yet another tacky AK costume lol. Even thought it doesn't look AS bad as some, it looks kind of comfy
Thank you so much for the updates! Great pics and info, BTW! I wonder if CM's get overtime for working 72 straight hours..... :lookaroun :lol:

Never heard of betel nuts until I saw that cart (the nuts are glued in quite firmly!)
It would be cool if they could sell them!
from wikipedia:
Betel nut, also known as pinang or Areca nut, is the seed of the Betel Palm (Areca catechu), a species of palm which grows throughout the Pacific, Asia, and parts of east Africa. It is a medium-sized tree growing to 20 m tall, with a trunk 20-30 cm diameter. The leaves are 1.5-2 m long, pinnate, with numerous, crowded leaflets.

I made another train video today, nothing too special:
Its on the same page as the other one
You need Quicktime 7 or the latest iTunes (on either platform).

You know, I was looking at the pic of the safety sign and it really doesn't blend in too well. I was thinking it would be good if somehow Disney could just write all that legal stuff on the park maps (i know some is already in there) Or have at the enterance of each park a list of the rides that need safety warnings and post them all in one place. So that they don't have to have those ugly signs on every ride enterance and some rides have several of them.
Or they could reduce the sign to symbols which might make it easier to blend in.
WDW has many international visitors (and some people who are illiterate). Symbols might lend towards a more universal expression of 'caution'.
Although -- I think the point of a warning sign is that it does stand out. Lawsuits are a dime a dozen here.
