Yeti Fixed? Anyone Going to AK?

[Scuttle]

No I did not take a video. I dont have a camera good enough to take video in that low of a light level.

Did you guys ride it again atleast? Thats the part of the story that seems weird. If I thought I saw the Yeti move you better believe I'd be going straight to the single riders line and riding again and again until I could confirm.

lol. Ive been warned about you.

Dave came with warnings? Lol, he didn't come with a warning for me. Scrubbing Bubbles, yes. Dave, no.

I managed, though.

Unfortunately, we were running very late. Its a 90 minute drive home and we had to pick up our pup from the kennel before it closed. Just no time to get back in line.

Stealing a question for someone else, but that depends. The last one, yes. Any combination of two, certainly. If the first or second one goes down alone, I'll cut them a break, but you can bet that it better be fixed within days, not weeks, not months, and absolutely not years. (I quite honestly don't like that the ride became "WHAR IS JACK SPARROW?!" but the ride builds up to him to the point that it's pathetic if the AAs aren't all working.)...

Honestly? I'd be okay if they ALL broke and had to be removed.

Only if they pull the references to him as well. A cameo is fine, but they over-did it. I think a fair compromise is Barbossa stays with a script in line with Blackbeard's, Jack Sparrow remains only in the treasure room, and everything else reverts to early 2000s. Maybe keep Davy Jones, but I kind of miss the "dead men tell no tales" guy.

Or have Barbossa be the only one to mention Jack Sparrow and turn the story of the ride into "It's a Mad Mad Mad World with Pirates" and have Barbossa yelling "I don't want to be having Jack Sparraw or any other scurvy mates be beating me to that treasure" in a re-written script.

Also, "A Man can Dream" stuff here, but since Disney owns Lucasfilm now, throw in a Guybrush Threepwood figure as an easter egg. Or maybe even bring in the Paris Swordfighting scene and have "You fight like a cow" occasionally being audible amongst the cacophany of the chase scene.

Honestly, and I am not trying to sound mean here, but the people who claim it was nothing special, just a two second clip of waste, and iif you blink you would miss it.....I swear you have not seen this thing in action. There was no way on earth you would have missed this guy in full A mode. It was spectacular and easily the best ending to any ride out there.

I totally agree. It was amazing.

I seem to recall the general consensus online when E:E opened was that the yeti was "very cool but underwhelming because of how fast the encounter goes by."

OK so it turns out that the Yeti has not been fixed and is not working. I will close this thread, and if anyone wants to stay tuned to any yeti updates, head over to the status watch thread
