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

[Supermatt70]

I hope that this doesn't come off bad, but...

You know, not one person on this thread, or visiting the park for that matter, has stopped by Guest Relations to to complain about the Yeti. Not one! The only way this will be taken seriously is if park leaders start to see comments from Guests forwarded from Guest Relations or Guest Communications to their inboxes everyday.

If you want to see the Yeti fixed, tell Disney...not WDWMagic.

They could put an orangutan in there. There's enough steel for the orangutan to swing around, that should fool a few guests.

ROFL! yeap! :ROFLOL:

Also posted my Yeti comment on the DPB!

What is DPB?

Waste of time. Put it in snail mail writing, and follow up with email. GR is just a front now that won`t take the message further if they can`t deal with it at the desk.

Wow... :lol:

Wonders never cease, but if this drunken fool can "breathe life" back into the Yeti, I'm all for it. Could you imagine someone trying to resuscitate the Yeti? Hilarioius!

I realise what the yeti effect is and how it doesn't work, but what exactly is the bird effect that people go on about not working. I've only ever been on E:E once and it was about 4 years ago. :shrug:

At the first stop b4 you go backwards, a bird pops out from behind the rock. I rode it today and the bird still doesn't work.

I have never seen it, but according to some pics I saw it simply is a bird on a stick. When you are facing the broken tracks you can hear a bird-like sound effect right before the trains starts going backwards (if I am not mistaken) and that sounds awfully out of place when you don't see any birds around.

*sits back and patiently waits for someone to correct this information*

Is that it? Just a bird that pops out. Was it that a good effect in the first place?

No not at all. It is one effect on EE that a lot of people make fun of because it just looks so cheap and fake. Now there are those on here who will argue that it is actually quite a sophisticated effect and that it requires all kinds of advanced machinery to make it do a simple thing. But my answer to that is at the end of the day what matters is the end result, and how it looks to the guests. It doesn't really matter how much money it cost to do it, or what's happening behind the scenes... if it looks lame, it looks lame.

 

[KYMouseFan]

That was pretty much it...bird on a stick...kind of distracts you for a few seconds while they switch the tracks...guess they don't expect guests to see a bird up high in the mountains...or it could be the bird of death (warning the Yeti is near. :shrug:

 

[matt_taylor1985]

OK cool - I thought there might have been something great about it, or is it just another thing to add to the list of faults?

It's more a thing where you kind of scratch your head and you think, Huh? They spent all that money on this attraction and this is the best thing they could come up with at this point in the ride? Really??

Huh? I don't understand how anything as pathetic as that bird could be remotely "sophisticated."

I think he was joking.

[TubaGeek]

I think he was joking.

No, I'm pretty sure not. He was referencing how others thought it was, and then debated it. Sounds like he's being serious.

Looks real in photos, looks fake irl.

Exactly! That photo looked great, but it just doesn't translate in motion.

 

[BigThunderMatt]

Wasn't the bird effect originally supposed to be yours 1st of multiple yeti encounters? Not necessarily full-body but, like, an arm or something? And then later on in development the multiple yeti encounters idea was dropped? I know Shadow of the Yeti was originally going to be much more than a shadow...
