TwistedTrack Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 lol can i get those now? or do you have to get them earlier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 You can still get either of them, though I don't know if you have an extra $10,000 laying around to be a DVC member. Getting an AP would be your best bet, or just tough it out a couple weeks for when they soft open for the public in February. lighthouse_coast.sv6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedTrack Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 oh you dont have to have both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 No, it's for AP Holders OR DVC Members. But if you are a DVC member, they will stop the ride and let you get out and take pictures with the Yeti. (note: no they won't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Eber Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Lets see: updates: 1) they are handing out yeti business cards to the disneyeverest.com web site. It should have a vidcast soon (site opens the 16). 2) they have 6 trains. 1 for parts 1 spare 4 running (they CAN run 5, its just a little tight and don't do it 3) Yeti doesn't always work. They've added a B show as a back up. They have a fog and strobe effect if the yeti breaks down or if there is a delay in loading. 4) DAK cast preview begin possibly monday, maybe tuesday, wednesday...nothing has been confirmed. So far, NO soft openings for the public. 5) they have a cool fog effect outside the main tunnel drop and they have a snow/mist effect after the main lift hill in the mountain range there. Like overe here: Closeup. New sign under banner: Smoke out of back of train The backside of EE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Cool Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Awww cant wait till next year at this time. Looks so awesome! Problay by far the best looking Disney Attraction other than the Florida version of Tower of Terror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrock23 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 This just feeds my anticipation more. I think my sister is going to preview it at the end of the month since we're part of DVC. Less than 4 months for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Wow this thing is going to be good. Yall think there is any chance I can get on it during Spring Break during the week of March 19-26? I was at Disney over Christams and it just pissed me off not being abel to ride it then so hopefully for spring break. If not Universal here I come.

Jose Eber Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I've only been here in Florida for a few ride openings, stitch, soarin, now this. DAK previews might be Tuesday/Wednesay. Overall Cast has been officially annouced. It starts the 20th. I don't know -- it could be in preopening by the time you are here. J. edit: I forgot to mention. They took out a section of the half wall and it is roped off. Tomorrow they will take down a section by the fast pass area -- but that's for the Imagineer party tomorrow I hear.

Jose Eber Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Oh, another thing I forgot to mention. Already they are having to clean up the loose hair fallen off of the yeti. They've collected so much already they've made a wig -- you have to wear it when you go clean up the hair each day lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I love that business card, LOL. And that great shot of the 'back of the mountain,' too. Thanks for keeping us all up-to-date, Jose. Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Eber Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I promised folks if they'd gift me a song on iTunes I'd send them a YEti card, insured/couriered lol. I do it because I'd appreciate it, Yur welcome, j. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelydr Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Dammit I really want to ride this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montu Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I have just found out I will be riding this in a week at the cast member previews. A friend will be getting me in. Pretty kickass, I think, being able to ride it months before it's "official" opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougr Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 2) they have 6 trains. 1 for parts 1 spare 4 running (they CAN run 5, its just a little tight and don't do it Sounds like what they should have done to California Screamin" (ouch!)

Slacking Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 3) Yeti doesn't always work. They've added a B show as a back up. They have a fog and strobe effect if the yeti breaks down or if there is a delay in loading. Sounds better than Revenge of the Mummy's B Show when Imhotep isn't working.

They have a fog and strobe effect if the yeti breaks down or if there is a delay in loading. Sounds better than Revenge of the Mummy's B Show when Imhotep isn't working. On my very first ride on the Mummy I experienced the non-working Imhotep (basically a cheap looking projection on the outside of the coffin with a lot less dialogue). Needless to say I was surprised when I rode it again a few weeks later I got the full Imhotep busting out of the coffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Eber Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Now I hear differently that there isn't 6 trains. Only 5 and they run 4. That's what you get when you use cast members as a source. Montu: I have a hookup too, but I might have ruined that as I tried to get on today and got busted. Money Shot of everest (BTW LOTS of people were screaming and having fun. I was there for hours and didn't hear a negative thing). Awesome seems to be the word of choice for a lot of folks. Even after they ride it, they are very impressed by it. The Fast pass line was opened up for this afternoon (imagineer fast pass). Weird why they'd test it with them and not the contractors. We've seen this sign before, but they added more color, discoloration and rust at the edges and screws yesterday. Here's a shot of people in the train. Its going to be impossible to NOT market this as a coaster...a lot of people's hands were up and there is a lot of screaming! [/url] Here's a similar shot, but look in the middle over the roof, that's the train coming back into the mountain after the double helix in the rear. Going into the mountain: These are the baby Yeti binoculars I was talking about. Fun. These 'binoculars' have no lenses in them -- they are just empty, but focus on the peak. Little Sign on it. This isn't everest though is it, its 'forbidden mountain'. Again, I'll have to stress how folks liked this ride. There were a lot of re-rides I noticed (it doesn't hurt that there is only a 5 minute wait). But it looks to be a well done ride. As I said earlier yesterday Al Weiss rode it 3 x in a row in the morning he liked it that much. Take care Yeti Fans. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
