Good one.
general refurb of the yeti? All the wear and tear from crouching?
Kinda. He's been still for so long his muscles have atrophied.General refurb of the Yeti? All the wear and tear from crouching?

1. They are fixing and improving the support structure to return the Yeti to it's intended range of motion.
Good to hear. Is there a timetable for the work?This, plus a general refurb of the Yeti is what they are aiming for.
And again...no crane will be needed.
Is that why VMK always had him in glasses on their homepage? hahaThe strobe lights have damaged his eyes.

FWIW, I rode E:E today. One waterfall working, train steam was working, bird on a stick was working, no mountain mist, and the last scene was pitch black. Very disappointing for .y first timers that were with me but as long ad it is being fixed I will be a happy camper.
Ok got back from a great trip and as with everyone has backed up the last scene is pitch black (as you can see from the pic below that I really upped the brightness on because it was not a flash photo!!!!) The bird is working, the first waterfall is working fine as was the steam on the train, which I found works great almost every day....early in the day but when it warms up you can't tell anymore.
I would guess less than 85% of EE riders do not even notice the ride and its various items are not working correctly. Only those of us who keep up to date with the daily on goings of these threads really are this "into" the know. Or the few who are lucky enough to go daily to the park and report these findings to us, at which I ask, "what will you all complain about when they do fix it?"
As long as the ride is fast and fun, people will ride and ride and ride and be happy to be clueless on the details of the ride.
LOL. *makes sound affect of smoke monster coming*That photo makes it appear Lost's smoke monster is coming to get you in the mountain's darkness. :lol:
I would say it might be more than that Doug. Remember, stations like The Travel Channel have run the same show on WDW for the last 3 years. I saw it this week actually. When they talk about AK, they talk about E:E and the Yeti. If you have seen it, you know they show that infamous shot of the yeti being tested behind the plastic tarp trying to be all secret and stuff.Are you talking about the little effects like steam and waterfalls, or the absence of the Yeti?
Because I agree with you as to the small effects, but I would expect more than 50% of the people who go on the ride are looking for the Yeti to appear somewhere along the way in more than a shadow appearance tearing up track.
