Expedition Everest effects status watch

[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?

 

[Marc Gil]

Both waterfalls?

Indeed... Yes, both waterfalls

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

The yeti now waves to you and says 'have a magical day" in yetish.

I decided to text my friend who works at DAK, and ask if he's noticed anything. I'll preface this to say the old Safari manager Mike Lolli got moved from safari to Asia. Mike Lolli is a great manager, with a lot of pull.. Who did great things over in Harambe, so he was moved to work on Asia.

Needless to say, according to my friend they are fixing the yeti. "But I thought it couldn't move anymore" I said. He says don't listen to that, it's all just rumors. Disney was just being cheap and didn't want to fix the yeti. And I mean.. After working for the company I can see how that's true. Disney would never come out and say "hey our most advanced creation has broken and it's too expensive to fix right now"

Mike has a lot of pull... So perhaps disco yeti is going away...

WDI were taking a very close look at old Discostrobe earlier this year. A very close look. Not the first time.

Is that a good sign that he will be fixed?! I feel he needs to be fixed but at this point I could wait for Avatar to open for them to fix the yeti and do a refurb on Dinosaur!

Once that is done I think Animal Kingdom could be my favorite park!

It is a sign they've known its a problem for a long long time.

I rode it on Friday. Steam was working, waterfalls were working, and I swear I saw the Yeti's arm move. I also noticed the bird for the first time. I couldn't see the stick, so it was nicely done, but it seemed kind of weird and pointless to me.

Never Question the bird.

Never Question the bird.

Oh... Have you not heard?

 

[rt06]

Yeti definitely moved last week. It was a slight lean to his right, maybe it was just his arm, but definite movement.

 

[sonoma15]

Went on today, could clearly see the yeti was not moving, steam is on, waterfalls are on and bird on a stick, the yeti looked like the strobe kind of lasted to long because you could see the backstage area behind it

 

[Mr Anderson]

Huh; interesting. I don't believe I've ever seen the steam, waterfalls, bird or yeti working before. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the former 3 will still be working by the time I go in December, and that mayyyybe, just maybe, some magic pixie dust refurb will get the yeti to quit with the disco and get down with scarin' folks.

Guys, please stop reporting that the steam, waterfalls, and now bird are working. They work with the consistency of any other effect in WDW.

And of course, if the yeti ever does actually move again, the news will explode through the internet, so this thread is still pointless to be pinned to the top.

buzzkill.

buzzkill.

well some of us are still deeply troubled that the Yeti has been paralized for years now.

and others wait for the rapture...more likely to occur.

Am I the only one who doesn't understand why they ever put that bird on that stick?

It was suppose to represent a species of birds found in that region that would hover on the air currents.

IMHO it was a good idea, but very poor execution.
