I’ve been checking out fan-favorite and new attractions at Walt Disney World for years, and there’s one I’ve actually never once seen working properly. That would be Expedition Everest, the delightful coaster (with a big twist) located in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. For years, the ride has been plagued by the affectionately coined Disco Yeti, but Disney just gave us the update we’ve been waiting for: The park is fixing the Yeti.
Color me surprised. If you’ve been on Expedition Everest you know the Yeti is huge. It’s 25-feet tall, and when it was initially built it could move within a five foot range horizontally, and could even move more than a foot vertically. The gigantic animatronic broke shortly after the ride’s opening back in 2006, and in my time visiting the parks, it never really moved. Yet Disney announced Live at D23 the Yeti will be back and functioning.
