Expedition Everest effects status watch

[Tom Morrow]

Disney has strict overhead safety standards. The idea that a massive robot that sits overhead, over a ride track has structural issues just does not make sense.

Hence why the figure has been turned off since 2007, to prevent structural issues. That's the theory, anyway.

How would they suddenly know there could be an issue? The likely means of identifying a structural issue is through observation.

I mean, I'm no engineer, but something like, "the support structure is showing signs of receiving stronger forces than it was designed for. With continued use it could eventually lead to damage of the structure. Best place it safe and not run the yeti at all."

”Showing signs” is an observation of some that has already happened. Something showing signs of structural issues would be a huge problem with overhead safety standards.

Then maybe after permanently disabling the yeti figure they fixed it or reimbursed it. Is this any more out there than suggesting the foundation for the yeti, which is built in to the same foundation as the entire building, is damaged?

I am saying I find all claims of structural damage suspect. The foundation for the Yeti is independent of the mountain’s foundations.

There might be some confusion over the use of "foundation" here. I'm using it as in the cement foundation for the building itself. The yeti is on an elevated platform structure, which you can't see unless you're behind the scenes. This structure, the mountain/building structure, and the roller coaster structure are all independent of each other in that they don't touch, but they do all share the same giant building foundation. There are footers for the roller coaster supports and yeti platform supports but they are all within the giant foundation for the whole mountain.

Anyways, the rumors that there are giant cracks in the foundation are false. Whatever was being damaged is something only the engineers know for sure.

Foundations are part of the structural system. You don’t have independent structures for the mountain, coaster and yeti if they shared a foundation. Column footings may appear to be flush with the slab but they are separated by an isolation joint.

I think we might need another interjection from @marni1971 here

I really can’t be bothered anymore to be honest.

[HauntedPirate]

Pretty sure the response being sought is in this thread. As in, the yeti was going to rip itself apart if it continued to run.

Awwww come on! You will only be saying the exact same thing for the 465,841st time.

I'm pretty sure you're the one who answered things the best however many dozens of pages back... with that said -- everyone please ping @Master Yoda as much as possible regarding any disagreements with EE going forward, thanks.

This should be fun...

After you're done explaining how the foundation is fine for the umpteenth time can you explain to me the relevance of Hyperspace-lanes in the new SW canon or are they essentially dead with the introduction of the "Holdo maneuver" and "Lightspeed-skipping"? Thanks

Hyperspace is an alternate dimension that can only reached by going lightspeed. The Holdo maneuver was executed to collide with the ship just before reaching lightspeed. As for hyperspace lanes, just think of them as paved roads from one place to another. While lightspeed-skipping is offroading while being completely blind.

I was wondering a little bit, till I looked at that date. I didn't remember typing that post at all!

It took me so long to find one day that I took a screen shot for future use.
