Expedition Everest effects status watch

[ABQ]

I'm puzzled as to why there is all the scaffolding if the fix will just be the broken section of track effect. Surely, there is something else going on here or that is the most inefficent use of resources ever to fix such a small thing...

Wait, what scaffolding? There are a few threads all revolving around the similar missing track, so I'm not sure I didn't miss one with a pic of scaffolding.

Edit, I see it now where the camera looks over the edge of the missing track in the video. Thanks

My guess is so that someone could detach and reattach the track? I don't think they just yanked it off with a crane.

Are they really going to reattach it?
It seems like it would be easier to maintain if they just left it off.

I don't see why they wouldn't. 1) The story doesn't really make sense without it. No one past the first row can see that the track just ENDS. Plus, the torn up track implies that the legendary Yeti was there, thus diverting the train off the correct forward path. 2) It was in good show condition for, what? 6 years, up until that hurricane. I'm sure however they're repairing it, they'll be using something more secure than simple wood glue to ensure it lasts even longer this time around, thus not needing that level of maintenance (i.e. removing the entire section) for a long time.

I'm no engineer but could the problem be that the power it requires to give the Yeti the motion is too costly for Disney to justify paying? It seems like if he's as powerful as they say he is it would take a huge amount of power to run.

That could be the reason they run him some of the time(when there are VIPs in the park) but not the other 99% of the time. If there was some sort of structural problem I can't see them running him even for VIPs if there was any danger.

I'm gonna go on it again today so I'll see whats going on.

It is a structural problem. No need to create new theories.

I would think you could do that with a worker in a "bucket" hung from a crane, the same way the do the lights on the castle.

My thoughts exactly...very simple to get someone up there to do a minor job such as that.

Perhaps the bird on stick flew off with the track and then returned to mock all of the confused park goers

Nah, it's pretty well established that there is an issue with the foundation of the boom he is attached to.

Though your theory is plausible if we didn't know better lol.

That and the fact that they built a mountain around him, making it cost/time prohibitive to fix.

It is my understanding that's not necessarily true. He can be removed without significant damage to the structure.

He was installed after the mountain was built and can be removed.

He can be removed, but I don't think it would be easy. I'm 99% certain he would not be able to be removed in one piece.

that is amazingly done haha

Well...when it comes to funny videos...

Some of you have probably seen this. Just skip to about 13:30, and watch for about 5 minutes.

 

[ᗩLᘿᑕ ✨ ᗩζᗩᗰ]

Watching that video makes me weep with laughter. Joe you crack me up! 14:00 mark. Keep it real!
