With Iger behind the wheel, the yeti won't be fixed anytime soon.

I hear he's adamant about leaving it broken.

Future headline: "Iger loses challenge for Presidency by a landslide, regrets 'not fixing that damn Yeti...', which was blamed for his loss" 
It's really not just Iger, it's the "leadership" of the ODT that shoulders a bulk of the responsibility for the current state of WDW, and particularly the Yeti. If they wanted to fix the problem, they could. But they simply don't - "They're tourists, whadda they know?".

Or more likely what happened is two support structures were calculated. One for a 'lightweight' yeti one for a 'heavyweight' yeti. With the lightweight yeti being significantly more expensive.
Then we get a Disney executive deciding to use the less expensive support with the less expensive yeti. Not understanding or caring that the less expensive base cant take the loading of the heavy yeti

Well, the current lighting does help things a bit. Just got back from WDW with my
family, and they all said "has that ALWAYS been there?" This is their fourth trip,
and each trip we have ridden Everest multiple times.
So, not "A" mode, but better than nothing. They noticed it!
My hope is that by the fact that he tweeted about it, means that there is finally a plan
of some sort in place. Just a hope.

While I don’t doubt Joe’s story, his tweeting about it makes me wonder if he is trying to put some pressure on the powers that be who have stood in the way all this time. Martin has said that a plan has existed for some time, yet Imagineering lacks the authority (funding) to make it happen. Joe putting this out there for all to see can only help their case at this point, let’s hope it does.
Tagging-on to this thread. Does anyone know if Disney World made/makes Yeti merchandise that actually looks like the Everest Yeti?
I've seen the white, cutesy merch in their gift shop. And they don't look like our Yeti at all. Perhaps more the Matterhorn Abominable Snowman...but even that isn't a match.

Does anybody know where one could find a link to the full John Cutry danimation demo reel? I remember seeing it before in the past, but links I've found only go to unavailable Youtube videos. It had cool footage of Hopper from Tough To Be That Bug, I think the alien from Extraterrorestrial too.
