Expedition Everest effects status watch

[AllydoesDisney]

You know, I've gone on the ride so much and I finally saw the bird come out! Kind of freaked me out at first but I don't know how I didn't notice it before. I'm really sad I never saw the Yeti in motion. I might've really been scared though. I think it's creepy enough as it is.

you didn't notice the bird before because it was MIA for several years

Well that explains it. Its working now

Just rode Everest twice. Both waterfalls working and saw the bird on my second ride when I was sitting in front.

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.

You and I have very different definitions of "funny".

Well, sad in a funny way.

Oh gosh that makes me sound like a very bad criminal

My God, that was terrfying when it worked. I remember riding it like a month after it opened and going absolutely nuts when I saw the Yeti. I've probably seen the Yeti in A-Mode 10-20 times and it absolutely ruins the ride to not have that ending. It's what made it a Disney Attraction.

So sad that it's not fixed because it took an all time great ride just down to a good ride.

More like an over-themed coaster with no climax.

I am literally crying about this. The Yeti looked so pimp.

Saved hassle...

That brings me back to the first time I rode EE with the fully functional Yeti. A mature 40 year old man sitting in a roller coaster, after all the build up to that point - when I saw this creature it created in me real fear. For a few seconds all logical and rational disbelief left me and survival instinct took over. For a few seconds I really felt that thing was going to snatch me right out of my seat and gobble me up - It looked and more importantly, moved like a living animal. Blasting out of the mountain into the sunlight gave you a rush of just escaping certain death. It was exhilarating!

So where is this fabled "bird on a stick" located? I know it's been missing for several years, and I haven't been on EE since 2011.

I'm heading to AK this Saturday and I really want to see this bird that everyone makes a fuss out of.

To the left of the broken track that you hit right before you go backwards.

Thanks, @Nemo14 - yes, the broken track is back in place and the bird on a stick was present - in fact, the bird is lower and slightly more to the left than he used to be, so the stick is not at all visible from the train (at least it wasn't the two times we rode). Much more effective.

Also, the steam on the trains was working.

 

[Marc Gil]

I'm queuing for Everest. Idk if I'm late, but the steam effect is back. I repeat, the steam effect is back.

 

[Marc Gil]

I went on EE a total of four times today. Overall it was a way better ride through than my last time in 2011.

The steam effect was working, the waterfalls were flowing, and the legendary "bird on a stick" was floating above the broken track. I actually didn't see the stick attached to the bird!

The yeti is obviously still in Saturday Night Fever mode, but I could've sworn I saw his arm move a bit. Anyway, that's all folks!

Both waterfalls?

 

[Disney Analyst]

Someone on Mice Chat reported they saw his had making small movements... Anyone wanna investigate if maybe the yeti was on this roundup of improvements that just happened, and that it has some movement again? Or is it strobe light madness seeping in?

Indeed... Yes, both waterfalls

I definitely saw some movement in the hand. The strobe light is still on though.
