Nor me....

They were cool to see. They really add a lot to that side of the graveyard scene and help take your eye off the visible scrim.

We're the tombstone ghost's popping?

Yep, they were...

Be nice if people could focus on the new info (what has been fixed) as opposed to a dead horse (the Yeti AA) that has been beaten to death so much it is basically neutrons and electrons at this point. Some people come to this forum for new information I think.

We won't stop until we find the Higgs boson! ... or the yeti gets fixed. I'm not sure which is more likely.

I am also not happy they changed the poacher scenes because some people (probably the ones who got Bugs Bunny off the air) complained.

I thought it was yanked because nobody paid attention to the story and it was stale anyways. I can't say I that I've ever heard anyone come off of the ride talking about the storyline.

Im here in WDW right now, and as we passed the entrance of Magic Kingdom from the monorail, the letters A&G from the Magic Kingdom sign were not lit up! It looks really bad. We were going too fast so I wasn't able to get a picture.

They are in the graveyard on your left, almost at the end of the scene behind the Tea Party. If they are running, you can't miss them -- they are lit up quite well. It is nice to see them again, I think it had been about 2 years since I last saw them working. It isn't really a huge deal, but it adds a bit more to the fun quirkyness of the ride.

Maybe the reason Rohde pushed so hard to convince folks that the Yeti's structure, the mountain and the ride are all interconnected is because they knew if something ever went wrong with the Yeti he'd be to expensive to fix (and people would believe it was really because they can't do anything without disturbing the entire structure)? Conspiracy theories much? LOL!

It is the opposite, they are not interconnected, they are 3 independent structures. That was hard part of building it, building 3 different independent structures at the same time.

Sheesh... even when I'm being sarcastic I'm being corrected. LOL! Ok by interconnected I meant that the 3 separate structures are intertwined.

Good idea. When they actually fix something let me know.

They would have to take the ride down for a year for this to happen.

SO WHAT?

I just got back from WDW last week and was told that a good part of the mountain would have to worked on just to get to the parts of the yeti that need fixed..they built it around him with no access to certain parts and those are the parts..that apparently broke

Well that was dumb.

I'm at WDW this week. Rode Mansion three times yesterday and saw the "bike" ghosts for the first time (at least that I can remember) and they looked amazing! It really added a new element to that side of the graveyard. No heads popping up from behind the tombstones though. We are here until the 22nd so I will keep an eye to see if they start popping before we leave.

Went to AK today and rode Everest and the yeti was not lit up. The strobe was going but to be honest it looked like the yeti was gone or covered. Not really sure though. I was happy to see both waterfalls working though. I remember hearing that they cannibalized one of them to keep the other running, but they are both back in business.

 

[ScarForKing]

As far as Everest, all I can say is keep waiting.. But Rhode is trying to bite of a chunk of the Avatar budget (since it was delayed/in limbo/never happening) and fix the yeti, address issues with infrastructure near dinorama, and build a new attraction in the area next to (huge space) Flights of wonder . (in addition to the removal/move of the train and a new path there to Rafiki's).

Yes, you heard it here first, the Avatar budget is officially being cannibalized at this point.

This is pretty interesting and doesn't seem to be getting a lot of attention. Any new info on this?

I did ask them about it on Saturday, but they didn't reply - maybe they've not been back to the boards yet!
