My husband did a thing with the imagineers a while back that discussed the design of EE. It is actually 3 completely separate structures built around each other- the mountain, the track, and the yeti. So, from what he was told about how it is made, it is possible to disassemble one part without bothering the other 2. It might not be easy, which would explain the delays, but...

Corporate synergy, eh? Maybe when the Studios get renamed, we'll get a decently (never fully, probably) functioning Yeti.
That WAS your point, right....?
Well, and that when MGM studios (which was much better than the now Hollywood), and the yeti stopped moving in the same year. Maybe when hmmmmmmm, a new name emerges for DHS, the yeti will go back to A mode.

Anytime I come across the footage of the imagined "programming" the yeti behind the thick plastic tarp... I shed a tear

I know, I'm the same way. Whenever I see the full motion yeti, I always think of how little Disney cares about the yeti. To quote Joe Rhode in the footage of the yeti being programmed:" There is nothing in the world of animation that moves this fast" and to see it frozen, it just makes me sad

I agree, it was in such an AWFUL state when this occurred. Even normal guests noticed and complained when it was in such dire condition. I'm happy to say that it got a much needed refurbishment early 2013 and a top to bottom clean up and fixing up. It made all the difference, came out looking pretty much as it originally opened. Glad to say even earlier this month it was still in pretty excellent shape (only a couple of very minor problems but all the important stuff was working and looked great).That also made me sad, Splash is one of my favorites

He moves. It may be the wind from the train whipping by him that does it, but he moves.

The jumping fountains have worked on nearly every time I have ridden the attraction in the last 2 months. THAT'S INSANE.
