I wouldn't mind a projection as a temporary replacement while the AA was being fixed, but not as a long term solution.
:iagree: They should just do what they need to do to fix it already.
And shut down EE for more than a day? :faint: How dare you suggest such a horrid thing!
If I remember correctly, the Yeti is kinda sorta a part of the mountain structure itself. Because the animatronic is obviously very heavy, they had to incorporate it with the steel of the mountain to give it the proper support needed for it's everyday usage. Even getting rid of the Yeti and replacing with a projection would probably still cause the attraction to have a decent amount of downtime.
I'm pretty sure those Everest specials on the Discovery and Travel channels said that the Yet & its base, the mountain itself, and the coaster and supports are all seperate and can't touch each other. :shrug:
They can't and won't until there is something else to draw people into Animal Kingdom. So don't hold your breath.
The yeti is off due to a lubrication design flaw.
"Can't" is such a strong word. DAK survived for 6 years without EE. It could survive a few months.

Now while I would agree with closing EE for a few months to repair it completely, the other several million tourists that would miss out on it would not. It would be a huge blow to AK both in attendance and in customer satisfaction. Could you imagine the turnover in guest relations?

That would be awesome! And we'd have someone next to him with a disco ball, right?Aren't you allowed to go in costume to the Disney parks?!
How awesome if someone got a yeti costume, dressed up in a polyester suit, and then starting doing the Saturday Night Fever in front of EE ound:
He could have a sign taped to his back saying "FIX ME"
