That would be awesome! Seriously though, that isn't a terrible option. Why not have a cast member play a Yeti in the mountain? Can't get more "real" then that.

OR...I can go with the Star Wars theme and rent a Chewbacca costume instead!

According to the CM I talked to during my last visit, it gets very hot in there when they do inspection in the mornings. I can't imagine the temperature in there during a hot summer afternoon.

so what, they should get that Gaston Guy from the other thread. He's so strong he could probably actually pull small children from the ride as the train went by.

When the Yeti was working there was a fan making his hair blow.

Well there's the problem! All this time we were fretting over structural this, and concrete that. The Yeti's hair dryer blew a fuse! Reset the breaker and let's roll!!

Every time this thread gets bumped, I instantly allow myself to get excited and hope that we actually might have some news...sigh

It's really irritating. I've asked this before; but can we get the thread title updated to reflect reality?

 

[BoarderPhreak]

At this point it would be easier to simply say, "the yeti never moved - that was a rumor."

Well said, Disney Imagineering. Now if it just applied to both coasts...

It seems to be gone. There are no comments for the video and it will not allow me to post one now. Figures.

..and then this happened. This is from an official Disney blog:

"Who would win in a fight: the new Matterhorn Abominable Snowman or the Expedition Everest Yeti?
Ray: Well of course the Matterhorn Abominable Snowman because the Forbidden Mountain yeti is inoperable.
Jeff: Good answer, Ray."

That's just awesome that an official blog would call out the Yeti's inoperable state. comes across as the older brother, Disneyland, just dope slapping its sibling.

Maybe that is what is needed? It's the Mom always liked me best scenario.

Ah....almost 100 pages, and still the thread title just makes me want to go - "No, it's not - 'nuff said." Whenever it floats back up.
