News Expedition Everest refurbishment in 2022

Same. I’ve heard nothing show related.

Imagine if they replaced the mist systems and installed a workable yeti. The internet would melt.

I’m guessing the OS would write a story about it!!

If Bob is looking for some good PR it seems like this would be golden ticket.

If he gave a we would see that reflected....he has teams of people in PR and marketing. He could artificially be made far more likeable. But they haven't even done that.

He dosen't care.

Confirmed to be nothing show related, all software updates and testing.

Formal 5 train ops stuff? Vs the bypass stuff? As an aside i find it crazy thay they cant do minor show stuff at the same time. Paint and smaller stuff. Maybe make the backwards section pitch black again.

Those crews will be busy with the next five paint jobs for the Cosmic Rewind exterior.

Just curious - what do the EE CMs do when the ride is closed? Do they work on the ride during the maintenance period or work elsewhere on property?

Some will still be there at the entrance telling people it is closed. Others will be used at other attractions in that area. So many of them are out with COVID right now so it has probably come at a good time.

They said nothing show related, but at the absolute bare minimum they need to repaint the snow peaks. They look horrible. The stretch from the 2nd lift to the broken tracks is covered with grime, rust, and yellowed.

Don’t eat the yellow snow! Bad Yeti!

Will the Yeti be repaired ?

No.

 

[Cesar R M]

None. They're all lined up and one by one fed to the Yeti. Its really quite tragic. Happened to my buddy twice

Must be unpleasant to pass thru all the digestive system to be eaten again.

Oh, so if Martin says it (a 100% verified wealth of park knowledge and swell forum member) then people react.But when I ( a no-body, with no cred at all...haha) suggested it would be one of the three things that could almost instantly turn-around the public perception of Chapek...I get nothing??

News - Chapek FIRED, Iger New CEO

I thought that relationship had been soured. Last I heard. It has been repaired. Dispute resolved and projects back on.

Nice, they managed to not only close it just before the Marathon, where there's a history of people riding it during the race, but it will also reopen AFTER the Expedition Everest 5k

It’ll be so cool to see them lift off the entire top half of the mountain to get to it.
