Yeti Picture?

[The_CEO]

How can they not build a 17 ft Yeti that looks good. But universal can build a 50 foot Monkey?

Michael Eisner could, and he's not really an Imagineer.:lol:

housing affordability...

Celebration is not expensive considering the options of (imagineering) folks in Glendale...S. Cali is expensive.

That why they call this section "News and Rumors" not "News and Facts". I probably could dispell a lot of these rumors, but it is more fun to watch them sprout up and circulate. Some are real accurate others are just phony.

It adds more excitement to a new attraction when people don't what to expect.

My friend has seen the entire track layout and the plans for the Yeti, but he doesn't work in Imagineering.

Thank you Yen_Sid1! :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:

Yes, this is a News & Rumors forum. Therefore, there's no reason to tell me that what I post is totally wrong. Heck, for all I know, I could be totally wrong. But, I stand by my posts. Call me the "Jim Hill" of WDWmagic if you will. But I base my posts on what I hear. I don't just make up this stuff. (And if I do make it up, I specify)

So, I plan to continue to provide you with the same coverage I have for the past two years I've been posting here at WDWmagic. Though, much more active in the past few months. I stand by my posts. And my sources. Have a good one!

The Yeti's on one of the trailers on the site of the ride. They had problems with his size, so they had to trim off about 10 feet, and re"skin" him. He's okay now though.

I would really doubt any animatronics are in a trailer on the construction site. They are nowhere near ready to start installing show scenes, they are still on the very basics of the show building infrastructure and track supports!.

Those animatronics are hugely expensive, and take a long time to construct, test and program. I would think this would be done at Glendale or another WDI facility, not in a trailer on a construction site!

"Trimming off" seems a bit unlikely too. I wouldnt think WDI would embark on an animatronic, only to find its too big and then just hack of 10ft. These things arent made of Lego!

I may be wrong, but it all just sounds very unlikely to me, and very unlike how past projects have been handled.

Yeah. I know it sounds crazy. lol. I just report what my "friend" says. lol. But I still stand by what I report.

Well.... We've got a apartment in Burbank as well
However nothing beats home...
Living in CA is expensive, but IMO where in the US is it.

BTW.
What options...

 

[paulcmartens]

Options such as taking a train down to Oceanside or Irvine, or coming in from Chino Hills.

Your options are limited in terms of affordable housing...i.e. you have to get an apartment or condo nearby.
