Yeti been switched out for repair? Something new in the cave

[Tinkermommy]

I was really hoping it would be fixed by our trip in May! My son loves the Yeti on the Materhorn at DL and this was going to be our first ride on Everest. I think a letter writing campaign may be more effective than the avatar campaign (although I like that idea too!).

Ill also join the Fix the Yeti campaign!!

I hate to moan about maintenance issues, but this is one of the few that really upsets me, i love the Yeti, and B mode just pales in comparison.......!

Wishful thinking for a fix by November!!!!!!!

Can someone update me on why the Yeti's not working? An AA of that size "leaning" doesn't sound very safe..

There has been no confirmation of what the problems are. It is however safe.

According to an Everest CM, the yeti hasn't changed. He's leaning quite a bit, which might have caused him to look like he was in a different positions, but it's still the same B-Mode Yeti.

Went on Everest today and that's what it looked like to me.

So is the consensus since the subsequent post that it's the same yeti? Much ado about nothing... (?)

There is certainly something going on. As I said in the original post, somethings changed in there. It could well be that the AA is leaning, but it looks to be leaning beyond it's normal range of motion. I'm :shrug:

I rode Everest yesterday, and it looked to me as though something was happening with the Yeti. It was incredibly dark in there, but during the brief strobe I got a quick glimpse, and the figure looked totally diffferent. It looked as though either the yeti had been totally replaced, or the current yeti was in a totally different configuration (which I had never seen before).

I am wondeirng if there is any possibility that the original figure has been removed for a rework and a standby figure put in it's place (as they do on Dinosaur), or whether there is something new in there still being installed.

Just for information, I've notched up over 100 rides on Everset since opening, so I'm familiar with the normal show.

It may have just been in a different position. When I went in January I thought it didn't have a head but when I went on again I saw that it was oddly tucked behind it's arm in an awkward position.

I rode this Saturday, and while I don't ride it all the time it did appear to be the same yeti with a strobe light. The lighting seemed different though which kept you from seeing the yeti even more than normal. The result is still very disappointing after they hyped the yeti so much.

Disney seems to hate AK in general it looks like. I could of tell with no expansions in the last four years.

It's a known fact the concrete below him is breaking away and he's "leaning."

....

I sure hope he's getting fixed soon. What if it eventually just fell onto the track :O

 

[Little Princess]

It was replaced with this

Isnt that one of the yetis from the Matterhorn?
Sorry if it's a stupid question.

Known fact? Disney have never released any information on it, and nobody of any known status has ever made any solid comment on it. It's often rumored to be a concrete issue, but not confirmed.

Not everything has to be released by Disney to be true, just sayin'

Well of course, but until I see the information from a known reliable source, I cant classify the rumors out there as anything other than rumors. Just sayin'

Rode Everest few times this past week and was shocked at how terrible it looked. Like a wet, gy dog. It looked pathetic.

Of course I have seen Yeti in its original form, but the stduents I travelled with had not, yet still thought it was pretty cool.

That would explain why it looked different to me. I thought it looked funny, but couldn't say if it was "different" as in changed, or "different" as in in a different position.

Very interesting...

It certainly is "Harold" from the Matterhorn.

Not a stupid question if you've never been there.
