I think we can just expect another Slantinal Special, smearing Disney and giving them as much bad press as possible.

That is kinda the plan.
To be tough, but fair. Hopefully we can get a valid response from TDO.
Which in this particular case I am all for.
Not exactly.

I think you both said the same thing....
"kinda the plan" and "not exactly" are synonyms in this case
Whether it's negative press, positive press or somewhere in between, I agree with Yoda that hopefully it brings some attention to the subject.

I would hope that it's leaning more of the way of grabbing TDO by the head and turning them so they are looking eye to eye with us so we can finally have their attention on the matter.
Or it could do absolutely none of that.
But it does give us a new hope... like Star Wars.

I think that we should all be very happy that after three years of a non-functioning yeti, it's finally going to get addressed outside of a fan site.
I'm all for Garcia taking an aggressive approach... Hopefully he will.
And I'm sure we'll have plenty to talk about once the article is out.

I agree. It is going to be an interesting read.

Doesn't appear to be anything yet. Probably won't be until early next week. :shrug:

So, does the Sentinel have any influence on Disney? Not directly, of course, but is there any evidence that anything printed in the Sentinel actually leads to any sort of change?
I'm envisioning a "what happened to the Yeti?" article, that will tell locals everything they already know, with a couple of quotes like "xyz from the WDWMagic site says that fans have been up in arms about this for years, and call it bad show". Disney will refuse to comment, or say something like "guests have told us that Expedition Everest is one of the most thrilling parts of their day at the Animal Kingdom".
And then everyone will return to their places and nothing will change.
At least, that's what I suspect, but I'd like to know if the Sentinel actually has any impact at all.

The Sentinel itself? Probably very little.
I think it depends if the passholder public in central Florida that would get the Sentinel is as jaded regarding their anti-Disney slant as the online fan community.
The article can be received two ways:
1. It's the usual Orlando Sentinel trash piece about Disney. It's blown out of proportion so let's ignore it.
2. Or...Hey, I noticed that myself. It's a real shame that Disney is allow the yeti to remain in B mode.
If the fans (us) are lucky and the reaction is #2, then we have to hope for some mobilization from the non-internet fan base stepping up their pressure on Disney.
It could sway Disney into doing something, but several factors have to fall right into place.
