Rode Everest for the first time in nearly 5 years on Saturday and really enjoyed myself. The backwards section and main hill were very thrilling. It was my first night ride on the coaster, and it was just a plain fun ride.
The Yeti while not fixed looked impressive looming over your car as you zipped by as well.
Was there a period when The Yeti wasn't around at all? I remember riding the attraction and not seeing the Yeti, but he was there clearly this past weekend.

He has always been there, just in various states of disrepair unfortunately. There were times when it was not really lit at all.

They may have been wonderful once but when I was there the first week of February they weren't. Most were off or you couldn't see them because the lights were off. The first room full was visible but after that the rest of the ride was mostly dark. Even some of the meteor effects were missing.

Speaking of watching TV shows about Disney... I watched all of the shows this past week on Travel America and I really don't understand why they would air the Animal Kingdom show without editing it a bit when it comes to the Yeti. Talk about false advertising. They go on and on about how much thrust it takes to make the Yeti lunge out as the coaster passes. They show it over and over in its full glory. If they are not going to or can't fix the Yeti I would think they would either not air that show or alter it.

I wonder if that Dragon in Festival of Fantasy is part yeti

In December when I went the yeti seemed pretty scary, sadly I was too young to ride back in the yeti's glory days

I am picking the Yeti in the Disney parks "Magic Madness" bracket. I woulda picked Sonny Eclipse but he was snubbed.

Is it strange that I've never noticed the bird or the steam and I've gone on the ride a bunch of times including the four times I rode on it last time I was down?

Perhaps instead if such programme spend a minute talking about it not having worked for years and that Disney hasn't done much about it.....then finally some action would be taken to get it fixed.

Yeti appeared to be moving this past week when I was there, but not lit up at all.

If it moved that would be a big deal. It actually reaches out and tries to grab the train. You would not miss it.

It was hard to tell in the dark...but yes, the shadowy figure appeared to take a large swipe at us.

If it was not lit up at all then it wasn't moving.
