I wasn't able to find any specifics in any other threads that say what I have found out so here it is. The first thing I have found out about the Yeti is that is is being made in the Imagineering facility in California and will then be shipped across the country and assembled. Another thing I have found out about it is that it is not going to just be a large animatronic, but a huge one. I mean that in some sections of the ride when it comes at you it's hand will actuall entirerly engulfe the ride vehicle. It will be the largest animatroic Disney has made to date. The entire ride is actually the most advanced and complex ride,even more than M:S, that Disney has ever made. the update about the stuntshow. When you are on the backlot tour and you see those cars with the wheel in the back windows. Those are only there for when the drivers are practicing(the two wheeling), they will never be there during the show. The hero car has also receltly arived and the stuntrivers have finally maoved into the stage to practice on set and no longer in the parking lot. Recently with the major jump that goes towards the audience, they tested it in the stadium the other day. There was a problem with the rig for the jump and there was an accident. The accident didn't hurt the stage or the driver, there was slight damadge to the car. There was no driver error, but the rig had some malfuction that casued it so they are scrambling to figure out what happened and fix it so they can start actually practicing this crucial jump. One other thing is that large paved area ouside of the stage (Not the one in front but kinda behind and to the left if you are looking straight at the front of the stage). This is going to be the practice area for all the drivers and stuntmen when the show is not going on and the backlot tour is going through the stage. Just some info I have found out from a few of my very reliable sources.
