Well, this is worrisome: over at Miceage.com, there's a rumor that the Yeti in the Everest ride has been frozen for months in what's apparently called "B mode", in which he doesn't move and strobe lights are turned on to give the impression of movement. Why? Because he keeps breaking down all the time, and worse, the concrete base he's on has cracks in it that can't be repaired. Apparently the Imagineers didn't figure on the AA's vigorous movements jeopardizing the foundation on which it stands.

Now if that's true, that's kind of pitiful IMO. A hugely expensive, brand new AA figure that cannot move any more because of poor planning. That does NOT sound like Disney to me! Yet I have to remember that the last time I was at WDW, I was unable to ride Everest because it had broken down. And from what I heard from people there is that it happens quite often. Has anybody here ridden on Everest recently, and did they see the Yeti move?
