Biggest Disney Animatronic Malfunction! | Expedition Everest Yeti
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 08. 2024
- Here is the top Disney Animatronic Malfunction from one of the biggest Disney Parks E Ticket attraction and Disney ride at Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World. Expedition Everest is home to Disney's biggest audio animatronic ever built: the Yeti. The Yeti on Expedition Everest has not been working (malfunctioning) for over 10 years now having turned on Disco Yeti. Disney Audio animatronics are a staple of Disney Park attractions. And over the years these figures have gotten more and more impressive, but audio animatronics are complicated robots which do fail from time to time. ** DON"T FORGET TO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!** ►bit.ly/2mfriBD ◄

TPMvids B mode is actually limited movement not completely stagnant. I think it is a toss up if they will fix it but if fans keep talking it up I think they will. I got to ride Everest when it was on A mode and it really does make the ride. I hope they fix it even if it take a 5 years for them to do.
TPMvids they say that they've turned it off due to it being so big and moving around was damaging the rail it was attached to. They also said that someday they will fix it and make sure it's safe for it to work again.
TPMvids DISCO YETI!!!!!!
Before b. Mode they had A- mode witch was a smaller moving yet I but they had the same issue so it stoped moving and now we have disco yeti
Hey Whats A-mode Again?
I feel bad for the people who spent so long making the yedi. Like imagine you spent so much time making a complex animated structure only to have Disney just switch him off
Yeti
id be mad
They still got paid for it at least.
Sam *yeTi
That would be insulting.
"Why doesn't Disney fix the yeti"
Because DISCO YETI!!!!!!!
TMPVIDS: The yeri or...
Random male person: DISCO YETI!
I agree
Oh boy a fnaf fan
Disco yeti😄😉😂😁😋😄🐧🐿🐰🐹🐀🐁🐭🦏🐘🐫🦇🐻🐻🐨🐼🐼🐾🐤🐤🐣🐣🐣🐥🐦🐧🕊🦅🦆🦉🐸🐊🐢🐢🕷🕸🦂💐🌸💮🌹🐜🐛🐙🦈
DISCO YETI
I honestly cannot believe all the work that went into building a 25 foot yeti...for it to be seen for all of 1.5 seconds during the ride
No matter how good it looks, the longer you look at it the worse it looks.
@@BailorTheSailorMan it's absolutely horrifying, don't get me wrong 😂
on the bright side, millions see it every month!
I love that they called the yeti *"disco yeti"*
Yeah it’s a nickname given from the Disney park fans
And bird on a stick!
They do?
@@theparrishshow9803 yeah in the video he yells disco yeti, before the ride had an update the animatronic would stay still and they put strobe lights in to make it thing it was moving and people started to call it disco yeti
@@EmpressEveningGlow
I sent this reply before I actually watched the video, it’s pretty funny
that guy just yelling "disco yeti!" makes me laugh really hard and I'm not sure why
I was crying
DISCO YETI!!
I was there when they were building it. if only I could go back in time and yell to them "it's gonna have a foundation issue! fix it now!"
The Pumpkin Queen hop on the speakers of the Tarzan show that was nearby to get their attention. 😂
Yeah, but if you did go back in time and warned them about it, you won't have a reason to go back in time in the first place, which means that you wouldn't have gone back in time in the first place (thus causing a paradox).
The LOL Minecrafter mah brain!😹
The LOL Minecrafter owwwwwwwwwwww my brain hurts sooo much
The Pumkin Queen I will build a time machine like sponge bob did lol 😂🕐🕕🕚🕟🕤🕑🕖🕛🕠🕥🕒🕗🕜🕡🕦🕓🕘🕝🕢🕧🕔🕙🕞🕣 🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
I don’t think Disney will ever fix the Yeti as:
1: It’s only for a tiny segment of the ride
2: Its a good illusion
3: No one would really notice
4: Disco Yeti is a good meme
disco yeti is god. you can’t prove me wrong.
True
They really over-thought the character, didn’t they? Considering the train moves too fast for anyone to admire its movements.
Fast forward 2022 they do t even have lights on it’s in complete dark and you can’t even see the yeti other than the animated track destruct sequence
@@hadleycontractor496 you can now.
Technically, this isn’t a fail. It’s more of a problem that has a solution.. but is waiting to be solved
well kinda but they never fixed it yet ITS 2020
Its bc of how expensive and time consuming it would be to fix the problem.
they would have to take apart the entire mountain in order to fix it :( it would be far too time consuming and cost far too much money for them to fix it
they actually can’t fix it. that super beam that it’s holding onto actually hold up the whole mountain and they would have to demolish it in order to fix it
Much like the Hat Box Ghost in the Haunted Mansion. He had to be removed because they couldn’t get him to work but Gracy eventually found a way to make it work and now the Hat Box Ghost is back. So maybe the Yeti is just waiting for the right person to come along and figure out a permanent solution to the problem. I think if they were wise they could take inspiration from the Matterhorn ride’s Yeti who works
This needs to get resolved. Disney's had some big fails in the past, but this is one of the more heartbreaking ones considering what this ride was and should be.
rviola don't tell them what NEEDS to happen the person who made it said he would fix in eventually that is on his list but I mean do you have millions of dollars for it? They'd need millions of dollars and it'd be closed probably for a year or something so ya know eventually but it doesn't NEED to be resolved RIGHT NOW
It's been broken for a decade. And I'm pretty sure the company has billions.
they probably do but they are focusing on other things then fix something you only see for a few seconds during the ride
It's the center of the entire ride - and a huge selling point for it. Theming an attraction around something that doesn't work is pretty bad. I remember they were pretty gung ho about selling Yeti merchandise at the gift shop after the ride in 2006, but they can't really do that so much anymore since no one's really seen the thing for ten years. That being said, I understand they couldn't just shut it down for the prolonged rehab required, as it was the park's big E-ticket. Hopefully Avatar gives them them the breathing room to finally make that correction.
Es_Art-Heart , the ride is based off the yeti, that isn’t working... it’s not something In need right now, but it has to be fixed in the future, or else the big main event, ( or main thing ) of the ride is broken down, in B Mode.
I'm not sure if I ever saw it move or not, I always had my eyes closed in fear lmao
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Thoughtful Av omg same
Å
Thoughtful Av same 🤞
Thoughtful Av Ha! That's funny! GJ
I highly doubt that he will ever get fixed. They said that they can't shut down Expedition Everest for any period of time because it would, apparently, cause them to lose too much money due to the ride's popularity. So, yeah. It most likely will never move again. What a waste of all the hard work, time, and money that went into creating the yeti alone.
Now that the new Avatar land is the main attraction for Disney and there are plenty of new upcoming Disney attractions, I believe they'll fix it in the not-so-near future.
Also, all rides will need refurbishments eventually, especially with Disney being open year round, giving the rides barely any down time
Except space mountain, that ride is considered a classic and probably won't be getting a refurb, it would ruin the experience of a classic space mountain.
I suspect he might get fixed but it will be due to a time when they do major maintenance on the ride and probably construction. It might take place during the off-season and maybe disney will have to offer something else to the guests or offer discount pricing or something during the time it is shut down.
Shiloh Blake preach
I had my very first trip to Disney in 2006, I was 8 years old. And I was lucky enough to make it onto the ride with the moving Yeti. I actually still remember the moving Yeti and how amazingly terrifying it was.
I'm going to yell "DISCO YETI" On the ride when I go in December 13th. x3
Sarah Hope 👌
Sarah Hope to bad Pandora is open and they might close the ride
Sarah Hope That should be a tradition that everyone should say.
Sarah Hope that's my birthday
That's what I do!
The first time my family went to Disney, the Yeti moved and it was SO COOL...my brother and I rode like 7 times in a row. Then, the last time we went, the Yeti was stationary. We were both so confused! This explains things...sad :(
Jacqueline Zanders Awe :(
Jacqueline Zanders I rode it 6 times in a row with no wait
Jacqueline Zanders My sister rode it in 2010 and 2016. Disneyland? Disneyworld?
Jacqueline Zanders I saw it move too! When it didn't move, I was sooooo sad :(
Last time we were there, we were stuck on Dinosaur for about an hour. When we finally got off, they handed us a stack of about 20 fastpasses. We definitely rode Everest that evening about 8 times in a row.
So basically the Yeti is fine and totally works, it's just that the Disney imagineers aren't risking A mode because the cement supporting the Yeti animatronic isn't super perfect and hence they are scared oneday the Yeti might fall on the guests while throwing its tantrum.
That's both terrifying and hilarious at the same time.
That’s the best analogy of the situation that I’ve ever seen 🤣
When you say the cement, do mean what the Yeti is standing on or where the beam holding him is?
@@CaptainCretaceous91 good question, the one who's answer I am not sure of. The beam that actuates the Yeti is powered by a couple of pressurized cylinders and during action, it is said, the force/thrust exerted is more than that of a 747 Or something like that. Naturally, said actuator's support might get cracked/undergo fatigue failure. Or they might be talking about the support under the actual animatronic. Personally, I think that both the Yeti and its entire actuator setup share the same support that is at the risk of undergoing fatigue failure if the Yeti is in A mode because of the intense thrusts required to move the yeti so quickly.
Imagine if the Yeti went in c-mode, where it would combine a-mode, and b-mode.
That would mean while the strobe lights go off, the Yeti will move simultaneously.
I feel like that would look cooler too!!
ANOTHER FACT*
When Everest first opened in all its glory, there was also a ton of fog machines at the summit of the mountain to make it look realistic. The fog, however, kept tripping off ride sensors that would cause the ride computers to malfunction leading to the removal of the fog.
There was also the "bird on a stick" animatronic off to the horizon when the train is about to travel backwards in the beginning. It's actually been removed, replaced, and removed once again.
Yes! You can still hear the eagle sound effect.
I remember the fog, but don't remember the bird.
Shaun Puzon I remember the bird, but don't remember the fog...
Don’t worry, it’ll come back when somebody forgets their Spanish lesson
They actually just added the bird back lol
I hope the Yeti gets fixed when the ride goes down for a refurb. I personally see that if it were to start moving again, even though it's only for 2 seconds, that movement makes it a lot more realistic in my opinion, despite only seeing it for a split second. I sure hope it gets fixed, to make the ride more real than it is thought to be
But if he is disco yeti...
WHY CAN’T HE DANCE?!
When it gets fixed it should have a yeti hop on teh back and start dancing
Yasssss
Lucas and Friends they can’t fix it
Tracy Macaulay DISCO YETI IS SHY 🤬🤬
I rode Expedition Everest in both 2006 and 2007. In 2006, the Yeti's movements were so realistic and fluid that I was fascinated and thought it was the coolest thing ever. But in 2007, it was already showing wear and tear, it looked haggard and lifeless, it still moved but its eyes weren't lit up anymore and you could tell he was due to be turned off. It was sad that something so advanced could deteriorate so fast. I haven't been to WDW since 2007, so I have never experienced "Disco Yeti", but I will hold on to the memory of A mode Yeti forever.
Some engineer got fired that day 😅😂
not their fault bad computer program and concrete that didn't cure well
@@dawndayton9937 computer automated design (CAD) has plenty of glitches when it comes to rendering models. Glitches like that can make the actual project more problematic in the long run
Omg so tru
Since the parks have been closed for some time I wonder if they've looked in to fixing it meanwhile
I thought it would be an ideal opportune time as well😄.
Sadly not fixed yet
Honestly the yeti would still be scary just standing still you don’t need to give everyone seizures. He looks scary enough to carry the ride as it’s animatronic
Actually, sometimes he’s fully lit up, and it looks soooooooo much better.
Speaking as someone who has absolute zero knowledge in structural engineering, impact stress load on buildings from large machines, etc., I can confidently say that they just need to roll in there with a few hundred huge bags of concrete and pour it all around the base of the Yeti tower. Boom....extra concrete means extra stability and no more Disco Yeti. Again, I base this very educated and informed suggestion on nothing.
Lol
@@lifequest7453 more concrete
Duct Tape and Gorilla Glue.
I think that’s what they did in 2009, but it just kept cracking, I might be wrong, but I swear I heard that they did that.
hahaha XD was not expecting to hear my voice in this video, great job btw :)
+LMG Vids haha thanks dude!!
LMG Vids disco yeti
LMG Vids was the person who said Disco yeti you?
AdventureKitty101 yeah, it was him
GO EDETY
It's kinda ironic that I'm watching this right before I actually ride it
Airmailpanther Vlogs are you still in line? Lol
Give us an update, lol, how's the yeti today? 😂
Bmurraylikescurry I had a fast pass
Mary's Dance World it was so much fun like normal
Disco yeti!
FIX DA YETI! FIX DA YETI! FIX DA YETI! FIX DA YETI!
I personally think this would be incredible! I am only twelve years old, and though I have never seen the yeti moving, I knew longer before I went in 2016 that the animatronic was not functioning correctly. I would love to go in the future and see the hard work of the amazing Joe Rhode's work come to life. I do agree with the fact that once Avatar Land is up and running for a while they should definitely try to fix this. It would be sad to never have it running again and see all that time and effort go to waste.
Tatortot_Alot Yeah, Disney animatronics are amazing!
Bro its awsome! GO TOMORROW
Since Pandora is still such a big hit (Flight of Passage is amazing, and Na'vi River Journey has the most incredible animatronic ever), maybe they'll refurbish soon. They did it to the one in California, and it honestly looks really neat. Maybe they could finally fix the yeti, and add some new effects, like digital snow falling so you feel like the mountain is in a blizzard.
I agree, even if they don’t fix the yeti, the ride needs a big ol’ refurb.
Will it even still work? It's an incredibly complex piece of machinery that hasn't been touched in ten years. There may be some rust issues.
Could you do a video on Splash Mountain's Million Dollar Rabbit?
Pirate Bina They probably monitor that issue as if they weren’t to know they could end up going in and seeing that it is unrepairable and then they would be left with a huge gaping hole.
Disco Yeti! I'm going for my birthday on July 8th.
Have fun! Say hi to Disco Yeti for us!
TPMvids will do my boyfriend surprised me early as a birthday present.
Devious_Neko_Boi yay! hope you love Disney! happy birthday and travels!
EnderGirlDoesStuff I'm a big fan. So, I'm very happy to go.
Cool the Birthday is on July 10th :)
The first mummy in the Mummy rollercoaster costs around 4 million and was built by an outside company, with that im sure the yeti is upwards of 10-20 million. These animatronics are alot of times built with custom made parts (cylinders, joints and skeletal structure). These theme parks only work on the rides at night and number one priority is that the track and ride are operational and SAFE. It takes a whole crew of people to inspect these rides at night and fix the smaller more safety related items. these crews also have to get the ride up and running by end of shift so this isnt something that can be done like you would think. Better to leave a half working animatronic up until time can be made to have the company that built it come in and service it and fix it ($$$$$$$$$$$) if special parts don’t have to be hand made for it which just makes the repairs take months longer
I have been riding this since it first opened, and I rode it when the yeti was moving, and that thing was so impressive, and I loved it, I was 4 when I first rode it, then in 2008, the yeti broke and I was very sad, it was still fun though, but the most recent visit I had in September 2017, the show lighting inside the yeti cave was on like if it were in A Mode, and that really made me happy and I wonder if that is a sign that the yeti is almost fixed!
the time i went on this ride, the yeti never appeared at all. just a shadow of it ripping the tracks. the rest of the ride was just pure blackness with audio and thats it. :/
tbh its such an easy thing to miss when you're riding so it was probably there
tru tru
It was definitely THERE, removing it would be rather difficult =) The question is, were the strobe lights on.
Sramos 4102 Yeah, it's never been removed.. But without it moving it's super easy to miss, you have to be looking up to notice it.
thats what i kinda mean though, the strobe lights were never on so for my whole life, i never knew the animictronic was even there to begin with until watching this video ._.
actually B mode had a slight movement. you were talking about B- mode.
Pretty sure the slight movement was A- mode. There's some accounts as early as mid April 2006 (a couple weeks after opening) of the Yeti already using Disco B mode.
TPMvids still it should have been in the video
The slight movement was A- mode and was used so briefly we didn't mention it. There's accounts as early as mid April 2006 (a couple weeks after opening) of the Yeti already using B mode with the strobes with no movement. Also a lot of people think they've seen the slight movement of the figure but really it's been B mode.
TPMvids fair enough
Alfie Davies they have fans blowing on the fur in b mode to make more movement
I dont care if the yeti is fixed. As long as I can call him disco yeti,I will be fine.
Oh_hey_look_a_tree bro me and my family went last year and I yelled Disco Yeti and like 6 people did the same
I got to go on a test ride just before it officially opened. The yeti was amazing and was scary seeing it lunging out to "grab" the cars as they went by. Bring him back to his full glory!
#FixTheYeti
DeadliestArrow I agree
I think that if they had to start working on it once the pandemic started, it would have been better to keep it down for a while after the parks reopened than to shut it down from operation. I'm not sure what covid safety guidelines would have entailed for the imagineers, but I'm sure whatever they were would've potentially been worth the outcome. It's really sad to see such a large animatronic just sit like that after all the money and work it took to build it.
I went to animal kingdom this Christmas,so when I went on expedition Everest and when i saw the yeti me and brother were screaming DISCO YETIIIII!!!!
ur mom was screaming disco yeti last night
I got to see the yeti in A mode, & it was INCREDIBLE & TERRIFYING! I remember being completely blown away by it. We rode Everest about 8 times that trip so I have a really good picture of it in my head. I hope one day they will fix it!
Rachel Clo me too! I only rode once but i never forget that sight of him (or her) reaching that paw at me and that quaking mass of fur...yikes.
@@dorkus_corkus it’s a him, they stated that in the trailer for Expedition Everest. Although, the cast members actually nicknamed him “Betty the Yeti”.
Do you think it would be smart to add a smaller animatronic somewhere in the ride? In the queue, a statue of the yeti shows human-like, yet distorted, figures around the yeti. They could add some of those, and they could have their own story, perhaps people attempting to find the yeti that starved and ate each other, and got cursed? Idk lol
Perhaps only parts of the yeti attacking the riders, like an arm that comes out reaching at the guests or the yeti poking his head through the wall?
It's Disney, not an R rated movie
ryanwa5h3re I like the idea of humans but maybe not eating each other. 😂
Quackin Panda I was just tossing suggestions about, not being too serious.
Mark Lanister lmao
I understand everything that’s been said. I get why it’s in B mode and why it hasn’t been fixed yet. I think they should definitely refurbish the ride soon. It’s inevitable that it’ll be do for one eventually. Whenever they do put it under refurbishment, they should not only fix the Yeti but maybe they should also come up with a better way or place to showcase the animatronic within the ride since you do only see the Yeti very briefly towards the end as stated in the video.
The yeti is really terrifying . It doesn’t seem like it in the videos. But when it’s reaching for you in real life it’s HUGE. Like it’s really big !
Saw the yeti a couple weeks ago, and the light stayed fixed on him with no strobe. I much prefer this, even if it doesn't look like he's moving it's still super impressive. I doubt most people realize he's even supposed to move if they notice him.
I'm going to get lost in the sea of comments wish me luck
coaster tomatoes good luck
coaster tomatoes lol thats kinda sad if u think about it
Getting lost in the sea yet you're fishing for likes
coaster tomatoes no you won't babe 😉
Wish you luck in getting lost?
I hope during the shut down from covid they fixed the problem. It seems like the perfect time to do so, and I hope they don't use the excuse of not having the funds. Like you can't tell me there isn't money saved
they will. But they might add more yeti encounters too when it gets the refirb
Well, in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion. Disney fans are probably familiar with the Hatbox Ghost that who has been in a few weeks or months when the attraction opened. Got removed right after because the effect doesn't really work at all. They finally managed to get the effect in 2015 when they decided to return back the Hatbox Ghost in DL's own HM. I know Disney can fix that, I just hope it won't took very long to figure it out like what happened to the Hatbox Ghost.
Tj Samson it's a bit of a different situation. With the Hatbox Ghost, it was all a lack of technology that kept it from doing what the Imagineers wanted him to do. The Yeti is more of a structural problem, so that shouldn't take decades to fix.
Wow! That’s impressive for a old animatronic!
To be honest, I do miss the moving Yeti, and would support its return to Expedition Everest, but if it never did return, it wouldn’t bother me so much because of how limited the time that you can view and admire the animatronic’s wide range of motion during the ride. (I believe that you see it for an average of 4 or 5 seconds, tops.)
DISCO YETIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!
At this point in time with avatar land open and Star Wars and toy story are all open together nobody's gonna care about the other attractions so they have enough time to fix it the new other lands will be extremely distracting
honestly i couldn't care less about star wars but mount everest is one of my favorites so i really want that to be fixed its said that this comment could be try that fact that it may be to distracting for guests to try the real thrill at disney
I really REALLY want them to fix the yeti - mostly for Rhode's sake. You can tell how proud and passionate he was (and still is) about the ride, I really want him to see it at its' best in his lifetime.
So... I thought Disco Yeti was on the matterhorn for a while so I screamed Disco Yeti! On the ride and I think everyone on that ride hates me now 😂
2:40 disco yeti!
Why Pandora is still on fire like it is now Everest probably get a refurb.
2:04 - I literally have that pink tank top that girl is wearing...
I rode it when the yeti was in A-mode which scared me to death haha, but I have seen it in B-mode (disco yeti) and love it just the same. I do hope it does get fixed someday, as do many of the other attractions that need that special tlc.
Recently the strobe lights for the yeti have been turned off so maybe they may announce fixing it at D23 Expo this week
Where did you find this information (about the lights)? Just curious as I'd love to see Disco get fixed.
he could of rode it like i did and found it out that way
As of this week, strobe lights are still going and Disco Yeti is still rocking hard
I rode the ride three times in one day and only noticed the yeti once. Maybe there are times they don't use the yeti.
@@rosykindbunny1313 they can't just not use the yeti, it is held down by concrete and steel. If they could not use the yeti may as well fix it xD
I went when I was about 1 or so in 2016, and it was one of the best experiences of my life! But Expedition Everest was one of the few rides I truly feared. I loved every bit of it, even when I felt like I was gonna fly out of the seat! I don't know how I would survive if a giant claw went at my face! I plan to return in 2029 with my two best friends, and hopefully it'll be fixed by then! It won't matter all that much, and I can understand how costly and time consuming it would be, but I would still like the chance to see it.
Did you just say you were 1 during 2016? That’s gotta be a typo
I'm really fascinated by the amount of research about this. You even found the D23 bit.
Thank you so much! I've been looking for these!
I remember being confused on the ride in 2020. When I first rode it years before, I remembered being much more terrified. In 2020 it seemed incredibly underwhelming; I thought the strobes to be such a bother, distracting from the original fear I felt. It made my original experience feel like a delusion. Turns out it was just in mode B!
Awesome Video!!! Really enjoyed this! Keep up the great work!
DSNY Newscast - The World of Disney News Hey Jack! Love ur vids.
You are the best disney channel on CZcams
DSNY Newscast - The World of Disney News I love your vids!!!
I have to admit that I never heard of the term "Disco Yeti" before, but I'm happy to have learned that term today. Kind of hard to say if they will get the chance to fix the Yeti of course, but hopefully, Pandora will divert enough attention away to where they could be able to go back and make those corrections.
Well, that is a good think that they actually found the problem before customers did or it may have fallen on top of a group of riders. Imagine if this behemoth started falling sideways like other animatronics have done because they slowly start falling apart.
I saw it work and the guy said one day they will fix him and they are working on him now so yay
I genuinely think the yeti will not be fixed anytime soon.... mostly because of the fact it is only 2 seconds of the ride and the cost to repair will be pretty high. (Even though Disney can afford it). Also even though pandora is more popular, expedition Everest fans will be devestated that their fav ride will be shut down for a long period of time.
Lucky for them it would just be shut down where as us tower of terror fans have it turned into gotg
The name people call it is absolutely hilarious and accurate at the same time
#DiscoYeti
I remember riding Expedition Everest when it first opened, and yes, I saw the Yeti move when my family and I rode it. Then, I noticed something weird a year later when we visited Disney again when the Yeti didn't move and it was mainly lights flashing on it.
Hi. It’s july 28, 2020. They still hadn’t fixed it when I was there yesterday
Yesterday I was in Animal Kingdom and braved Expedition Everest! In the long line, I randomly said,”Go disco yeti!” The person who was in front of me said,” What is disco yeti?”. I told her about your channel and she said she would check it out! Hopefully soon you get a new subscriber!
He didn't make up that term, but okay.
It''s interesting to see the comparisons to King Kong at Universal. The BIG difference is that Kong doesn't move that fast and isn't perched on top of a steel tower. I believe, as Joe Rhodi said, he will fix the Yeti someday. It's one of his greatest achievements and greatest fails, although, not his fault! It's 25 feet tall, yet moves like an A100 figure! Like the Wicked Witch in The Great Movie Ride RIP :-(
I feel very blessed that I was able to see it as it was originally intended. Thank you, cast member previews!
Petition to fix the yeti:
Like to sign the petition
I love expedition Everest At the top There was so many pony tails at the very top
IKR
They do clean the coins in the line. The coins are donated.
I thought it used to come much closer and move but I thought I was just seeing things because I was younger and scared!!! This all makes sense now! I also swore it wasn’t there about 2 weeks ago but I guess the strobe was just broken
You can see how proud the creator of the ride is about the yeti and how pissed he is about no one can see how the yeti moves
No matter what i am doing i always stop when you post a new video because you dont have on video that is not interesting! Love this channle!!! I will admit i Hate roller coasters, TPM, Do you???
We appreciate that, glad you enjoy the videos!
I* don't* channel* I* hate*
Don't randomly uppercase and lowercase letters
How would I hate rollercoasters I love them
1:40
I CANT STOP LAUGHING XD
I love what you do
Omg.... I never thought it would have somebody scream disco yeti when I came to this vid but I'm so glad it did!XD
DISNEY FIX THE YETI ALREADY!
Its gone now, and I rode it 2 weeks ago. It happenned so fast no one got to see it!
Wait, they just took the Yeti out completely?

@@jiggyjacob3741 DISCO YETI!!!!!
It's funny, a few weeks ago I saw a tweet by Joe Rhode himself, saying that as he re-entered the U.S. from a trip, the customs agent asked him if he's ever going to fix the yeti. Joe Rhode will never escape the yeti failure, not even at customs!
This ride is my favorite ride in all of Disney world and I never even knew there was a Yeti animatronic
Is the kong animatronic bigger then the yetti?
Read somewhere that Kong is 19ft but idk how accurate that is
+TPM vids thanks! love the channel!
exactly, the car does a half moon maneuver around Kong's head while he breathes growls and watches you with his eyes, its basically just shoulders up
I rode expedition Everest early April and I don't remember v mode yeti.
Endercraft Gamer b*
What is v mode
Paracetamoly He bellows Vendetta quotes at you, obviously. :D "remember remember the--" *woosh*
B mode* recently (this year more like) they’ve turned the stove lights off so maybe they’re getting ready to fix it

Personally, I think a refurb would improve the ride. Not only would an extended refurbishment let them fix the Yeti, but maybe they could add a few updates to the ride (I mean, it's been the exact same ride since opening day in 2006. With the exception of Disco Yeti). Anyone who rode the Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland before and after its refurbishment knows that adding similar touches could make Expedition Everest 100 times better. But even if they don't do anything other than fix the Yeti, it would definitely make the ride a little better.
I was lucky enough to be able to experience this ride in A mode on my first (and only) visit to Disney World back in 2006.
Should have gotten fixed during the timing of COVID shutdowns🤷🏽♂️
"Nothing this big" Skull Island Reign of Kong and Jurassic Park River Adventure opens
but they dont move that fast
Squidly i know it’s just i’m doing the height of them, but you’re right on that.
I LOVE U TPMVIDS!!!!!!!! your the best cuz WHY I watched u since i was 14 its almost 5 years now i’m almost 19 tho lol i keep those vids coming!
I went on it with my family back in '09. It was pretty interesting.
I know they probably won't due to money and mechanics but maybe if they added a few other yeti's into the ride instead of just the one for a short time, it could be better?
Whichever Disney decides, I'm sure it will still be a fun ride
Money isn’t an issue for them, they’re Disney.
I've never actually ridden this ride, too big of a wimp
you should sometimes its hard to even see the yeti but its really fun

Have a reward at the end. Like a slurpee or something. That’s what my grandmother did for me. Other than that, you should really ride it.
Yeah I closed my eyes but I did see it wobble
Fixed as in repair? You got a better chance of it getting the other definition of fixed than the repaired fixed.
We just rode this yesterday and I like Disco Yeti! The ride has a good beat, I can dance to it, and Disco Yeti is scary enough. No worries Disney! Hakuna Matata!
All they need to do is turn the damn lights on, badabing badaboom.
They'll fix the yeti... Someday
Poor Bob.
That someday is soon! Because they are planning on fixing him very soon!
@@anielladillo Not any time soon
rckblzr12 yeah.. they are
@@anielladillo I'll believe it when I see it. Everest will have to go down for at least six months to fix it. That's not gonna happen when Flight of Passage is still pulling in crazy wait times and Animal Kingdom needs another E-ticket to lower the burden.
