They've worked on her before behind a scrim on several occasions, and not once has she moved afterwards. And we've heard they've found a solution before as well. Take it with a grain of salt.
EE is only a Dticket without the Yeti and I don't bother with it in it's current state.
If they can reduce the weight of the yeti.. next generation servos etc
correct the foundation should be workable in A/B mode
maybe it doest swing so close like it used to every time.
I am still trying to figure with an independent foundation, and a very large mobile figure at the top... how they thought it would be ok.. someone did not pass statics/dynamics in college.
ummm, is this ride currently closed?
if so, will it be open end of Sept/beg of Oct?
tks!
Is there actually any evidence that the Yeti is not functioning because the foundation can not take the force?
Has Disney said this? Does anyone have pictures of stress fractures?
While I agree that the Yeti has major problems they may not be as bad as many fear mongers tell you they are. While we know that excessive stress during its movement caused it to have problems the problems made quite likely be limited to the Yeti itself and not to the actual support structure it sits on. Using modern electronics and materials it seems likely that the weight of the structure and controls for the Yeti can be reduced significantly while also making it stronger. Another option could be making it bend down and reach for the car instead of lunging at it. This could reduce the weight of what is moving by approximately 50%. Combining some of these changes I feel could definitely return EE to its original Glory.Easy there, Cochese...
You think its an elaborate conspiracy theory? The damn thing doesn't work...and the mousies screwed this one up. that's kinda the end of the discussion...even with no pictures.
Whatever is going on...obviously its a major structural or mechanical issue - because its not like they are "choosing" to let the thing sit dormant for 5 years. She ain't working and its major.
How do i know? because it woulda been fixed by now if it was minor...obviously its more than computer programming or a nights worth of maintenance here...

I was there the day it broke-- the cast member mantra was as i recall that he is getting old and he broke his back.

Over and over again people say things about the foundation breaking or being broken. Why?
They say that to fix it the whole mountain has to come down to pore a new slab of concrete.
That is can't operate as fast or with as much movement before because the foundation can't take the stress.
But nobody has any proof that I've ever seen that there is a problem with the foundation. Only speculation and heresay. Over and over again the same unproven reasoning.
