I really think the fuss about the broken Yeti is unwarranted. Yes, its a huge engineering failure to build such a monumental landmark of technology only to let it sit unused because of a foundation oversight...that was dumb. But it really doesnt affect the ride experience as much as most people like to think. Maybe its been so long since the thing has been working that everyone has built up in their minds what the Yeti was supposed to do when, in reality, it wasnt all that much better than whats there now. When it worked, the tunnel was still dark, you were still moving past it at a relatively high speed, and the motion of the train made the relative motion of the Yeti less apparent. What we have now is more or less the same thing...so he doesnt move his arm toward us...when its dark and we're passing it for no longer than a second does it really matter that much? We still see the thing and the strobe light is a good way to show it. Heck, I thought it was moving well after it had been shut off. Yeah, its a pretty embarrassing situation for the guys who worked on this ride, but its not the end of the world, and I think many years of not having the Yeti work has warped everyones perceptions of how necessary it actually was.
