I understand that you still "enjoy it", but do you think it is "Great"? My term for the current version is "jolly good". The crime is that it was and again could be "Great". For nearly a decade it has been far less than great. A sincere band-aid could have brought it far closer to great over the past many years, but Disney hasn't done it. Fine, the Yeti is broken. And the mediocre minds at Disney allowed disco yeti to exist in its place for how long? Shameful. An organization that professes to achieve greatness has utterly failed to do so in a headline attraction for nearly a decade. A better Band-Aid had to be available. No excuse.

I don't disagree with the above.

Different animals indeed but they are easily in the same order and perhaps even family......I would not go as far to say genus though.
Just as EE is not about a rollercoaster so too Pirates of Caribbean is not about a boat ride. Rollercoasters and boats are mere vehicles to help tell their respective stories.

Once again, I completely disagree. Where would the fun be in riding a flume ride with no AA figures to look at? However, EE is loads of fun without the yeti.

If you think that Expedition Everest has absolutely nothing to offer besides the Yeti then you've let years of negativity on this forum warp your mind. Everest would still be fun even with NO mountain structure because it's a roller coaster.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
Rode it Sunday. Its alright. Hairbands all over the place. No crow. No mist. Eh.

The hairband thing is littering and defacing property.
Honestly, I blame the people doing it but I almost blame Disney at this point for not cleaning it up. It would literally take an hour to clean them up and people might stop too. It's almost like the fact they are there makes people throw more, like coins.

I see I'm dealing with another one of those.
I don't think that EE has nothing to offer outside of the Yeti figure .
Where did you get that? Oh I know. You manufactured it. I was saying that the snow beast is the point of the attraction--- the sole point of the attraction -- or single star of the show; the entire attraction is built upon meeting it. It's more than obvious EE has some very top notch supporting aspects: elaborate queue, excellent ride vehicle, thrills, iconic mountain with water falls....but those are storytelling features(again, damn good ones!) leading up to an encounter with the star of the show who doesn't perform.
Years of negativity on this board? Are you for real? I joined here recently. Furthermore, even if I had been exposed to negativity year after year I don't need a message board to corrupt me since I have seen EE first hand from the early days to as recent this summer. When the sole intended AA is no longer a real AA due to its stagnation then I will have something to say. Currently Yeti is an AF----Audio Figure

The hairbands are a bigger problem than the Yeti at this point. They completely take away from the immersion, and make the ride look (literally) trashy.
Hopefully the long-awaited refurb will include the installation of a system that makes it easier to remove the hairbands daily.

You said that the "sole purpose" of Everest is the yeti and the yeti alone. You are wrong. The main purpose of Everest is that it's a roller coaster. Everything beyond that is enhancement to the roller coaster.

I always thought that the hairbraids actually contribute to the immersion. Instead of getting to the top of Mount Everest and finding metal oxygen cans, there's hairbraids!

That is indeed one way to look at it. But for me, the yeti, while cool, isn't the point of the attraction. The point is a very fun roller coaster with some terrific theming - theming that would be made better with a working yeti, I'll admit.

So, what exactly were the results of those light tests they did this summer? Did they change anything, or were they futile?
