The Condition of the Yeti AA

[Disneyhead]

But Universal isn't trying to pass off the WWOHP as "new".

This isn't related to the Yeti AA, but ThemeParkReview did post an Expedition Everest POV with NO broken track:

I didn't know where else to post this, but I thought this was pretty cool.

 

[Drew]

Wow. That's actually way scarier as someone who's terrified of heights. That was one long pause up there too.

 

[Cole]

Yeah TPR shared that on Facebook and I laughed so hard. It is way more terrifying than the normal version, I could only imagine the tourists responses :stunned:

That's pretty bad ass. Btw, just got some night rides on Everest for the first time last week. EPIC EPIC EPIC. So much better than during the day.

That would make me uncomfortable for sure, Disney needs to put something there until the broken rails are back.

They should just put a line of caution tape

Has the pause always been that long? That felt pretty uncomfortable.

 

[Jon84]

I thought it was that long last time I rode, maybe it varies!?

 

[GAcoaster]

That's the regular pause. It takes time for the switch to change over.

Is that bird supposed to be there? Has it always been there? Why is it there? haha

 

[Justin]

They re-enabled the "Bird on a Stick" effect, maybe they are finally turning the ride around! Fix the yeti!! Also sometimes if the trains "stack" the blocks get bogged down and causes the longer than usual delay.

You don't know about the bird on a stick? Another elusive effect on Everest?

 

[Teebin]

And you had to have ridden very early on to see the fog in the ice tunnel... and all the waterfalls running, and the wind whipped snow off the top of the mountain. What a poor picked apart attraction it turned out to be.

 

[Cole]

that video was the first time I ever saw the bird on a stick...what even?

 

[MrRoamer]

Wow never knew about the bird on a stick, but that does look way more scary than with the broken track up. Funny how just a little piece of scenery can make such a huge difference. Too bad the yeti will never be fixed

I wouldn't say never...it will be a while though

And never heard about bird on a stick...I did ride it in the first few weeks of opening..all effects (besides bird) working..it is a great coaster really

 

[Skubersky]

Wow, I haven't seen bird on a stick since opening year! The only effect more elusive is the fog in the first tunnel after the big lift, I only saw that work once or twice.

If what I have heard is correct (and please someone who knows more put me in my place), the problem with the yeti is actually the foundation itself. If he were to begin moving again it would further compromise it and possibly cause a collapse. If they did try to do maintenance on the foundation itself, they would definitely have to rip out a good section of the building and rebuild it.

sigh after pandora Everest just needs to go down for a year long refurb to get that yeti back
