Expedition Everest effects status watch

[wdwmagic]

Just to clarify, this is what I have on the Yeti modes from WDI.

A mode - full range of motion.
B1 mode - limited range of Yeti motion (most people probably wouldn't be able to distinguish between B1 mode and A mode).
B2 mode - no Yeti motion, fans/strobes only.

I'll upload a whole bunch of media from today of animal kingdom's everest next month or something, as I'm heading off to colorado tommorrow.

But as of 12/26/07:

Yeti in A.
Front Waterfall Working.
Not sure what "Bird" you all are talking about, but as far as I know...its working.
Steam was working.
No Mist.

And as I said...I have so much expedition media from today, but I'm going on vacation so I won't be able to put them up on youtube and such 'till I get back. But I quickly uploaded part 1 of my adventure of getting stuck on expedition everest, here it is.

On 12/13 Yeti was in A mode (thank god). And I believe only one waterfall was working. Not sure.

On 12/16 Yeti was in B mode part 2 (just strob lights) and I believe both waterfalls were working, but I could be wrong.

Its just starting to get a little "old", it just needs a nice tweak or refurbishment to get the thing running perfect again.

It's NEVER been 100% . They need to get the original kinks worked out.

Steam was not working.
Bird working.
Front waterfall working.

Great day for the Yeti, he looked really nice and pretty when I saw him yesterday. He is a very nice clean man, despite his appearance and his unusual location in the middle of asia.

As of February 12:
Steam working
Yeti in B mode

:wave:

The experienced people working on the Yeti have transferred to Toy Story Mania, so that is why the Yeti never works right anymore. The show is not a priority.

Ive been to E:E multiple times on this trip since Feb 12th ( I go into the parks everyday so I know how long these things have been happening for. Each and everytime I've been on it has been a bad show on ALL effects. One of the nights during EMH I went on 7 times in a row and everytime it was also mising the Yeti sillouette tearing up the tracks. I personally thought THAT was strange.

BTW, also since at least the 12th Test Track's screen for the "Anti-Lock Brakes" Video Playback hasn't been working. It remains on a Windows Media type screen :hammer:

Also my limo on RnR didn't have audio last night so I got to go through "that door". We sat at the launch for 4 mins and then it launches us w/o normal warning which was actually alot funner. When we got to the tunnel w/ the black lights we sat there for another 4 mins. Kinda funny considering I was hoping that I would experiance it w/o audio sometime on this trip. The surprise launch was definately worth the no audio

Wednesday March 12th

Rode Everest twice on Wednesday March 12th. First time riding it and thought it was great!

- Ride broke down early on in the day. It was fixed, but the wait time stayed at 75 minutes for the rest of the day.

- No steam on load area

- 1 of 2 waterfalls working

- No fog/mist at summit top

- No bird

- Sounded like the Yeti growl at the ripped up tracks was missing

- Shadow of Yeti worked fine

- Yeti in A-Mode both times!

Thanks - Hauntdmansion79
