Joe Rhodes in AK today.

[Minthorne]

He was discussing changes to the area just entering Asia from Discovery. Got a couple pick as I tried not to be too obvious.

Great find

 

[Minthorne]

Zoomed in

 

[Bairstow]

Neat!
Curious, though- you know who he is, but didn't want to shake his hand or get a photo or anything?

You mean Joe Rohde I think.

I picture him entering the park after hours in a ninja outfit sabotaging the land of blue people and eventually falling asleep at the feet of the Yeti dreaming of what could have been.

OMG-I'd be hiding behind a bush, giggling like a school girl, stalking him every where he went. I am SUCH a Joe Rhode fan. However, the truth is that I'm also so naive, I probably wouldn't even recognize him, then when I heard about it later ("You know who that was?") I'd be so mad at myself. But at least he wouldn't have to deal with a stalker.

You could have gone up to him and started waving your arms at him saying:

"Yeah, that's right. Remember when the Yeti did that!?!"

And then dropped the mic and walked away.

(I kid, I kid.)

If I was walking by him as he was standing there I would have said "BOY! I wish a Yeti Could get Fixed!"

In all honesty I am sure Joe would rather see an operational Yeti as well. This park was his dream and vision but Joe is only an idea guy...he has no real authority to allocate funds for repairs or changes. His face at the groundbreaking of Avatarland where they were all holding the huge shovels looked more like he was having a colonoscopy than anything. I picture him asking for important updates for the park and pretty much getting this in return....

I'm wondering if sightings like this are just planned out? If you were really doing work, AK has plenty of time to be there without guests. I guess you could be looking at what things will look like or guest traffic or something along those lines but I think some of these appearances are just that appearances.

You expect him to work the night shift? He is clearly not being bothered by visitors not to mention the value of seeing the park as it is actually experienced.

 

[Weather_Lady]

I love his ideas, but just looking at him makes my earlobes throb with sympathy pangs. Rather than making a Yeti reference, I'd be more tempted to walk by him singing, "Do Your Ears Hang Low?," stop and regard him for a moment, proclaim, "why yes, they do!!!" and saunter away...

 

[Chef Mickey]

A bus driver told me he was in the park to personally fix the Yeti by end of day today.

He usually posts that he is heading to the swamps on his social media. Think the RoL thread picked up on his trip the other day, speculating it meant more tests/run throughs for RoL to get that approved/open. Your pics might indicates it was more routine.
