There you go! Yes!That’s how we get our yeti back. He will just be strolling around Asia.
Imagine Thanos walking around DCA snapping his finger…shiver.I wonder what the list of characters would be?
The wampa from Star Wars clearly, Ralph? Hulk at Avengers Campus? Louis the Alligator for Splash Mountain area?
Regardless, seeing updates to character options is always exciting to me. Especially if they're making them look less and less like people in costumes.
oh don't worry everyone, it's just some catchy jazz music playing in hollywood land and thanos can't help but feel the beatImagine Thanos walking around DCA snapping his finger…shiver.

Good pointIt's kind of odd that they would even advertise this. They've always shown behind the scenes on attractions and animatronics, but have always treated any character performer as "real".

In another area of the Glendale warehouse, behind more black curtains, another team of Imagineers was working on the opposite challenge: Project Exo, a high-tech effort to enable interactions between theme park visitors and large-scale characters.
“As in the Incredible Hulk?” I asked, noticing a giant hand (albeit not a green one) with fingers that could move and grasp with humanlike precision.
Crickets.

Asya Cara Peña, a ride development engineer, piped up with a rudimentary explanation. They were developing a full-body exoskeleton that could be applied to a wide variety of oversize characters — and that counteracted the force of gravity. Because of safety concerns, not to mention endurance, the weight of such hulking costumes (more than 40 pounds) could not rest entirely or even mostly on a puppeteer’s shoulders. Instead, it needed to be redirected to the ground.
“But it also needs to look natural and believable,” Ms. Peña said. “And it has to be something that different performers of different body types with different gaits can slip into with identical results.”
That’s how we get our yeti back. He will just be strolling around Asia.
OMG I’m imagining the “mysterious yeti” sitting at that bar next to Everest lol. “Keep it flowing, Steve. I’ve had a day.”I would in fact, love that.
Yeti taking pictures, Yeti taking in the scenery, Yeti drinking a beer...
Seems a little odd to show them in the process of creating costumes? Why not show us how a Mickey head works too? Or what brand of makeup Maleficent uses?
But he’s a robot. Mickey is “alive”.They showed how the stunt Spiderman works.
