That thing is sweet!!! It's got to be one of the coolest looking audioanimatronics ever built. Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to see him in person.

He probably is one of the best audioanimatronics ever built by Disney Imagineres and probably in the World too!

Those photos are postively fantastic. I would love to see how they made such a realisitic yeti. There must have been so much that went into making him, from the mechanics to the outer costume. Now that would be a dream job!

I agree I bet the Yeti took a lot of the time making the ride!

Wow, what a great shot! I didn't realize he'd be so scary looking! There are a few shows coming up in the next couple of weeks about EE. One, I believe is the making of EE, and the other is a Jeff Corwin special, "In Search of the Yeti". I wish I had more info about channels, times, etc. I'll check into it...

I know when i first saw it when I rode it I expected it to be white cause I don't think I ever Imagined a brown yeti but thats what the people of the himalyas say he looks like and its funny because when Joe Rhodey asked them all they all had one relationship at least and it was that his hair at the top was pointed like the bottem half of his body's fur went down and the top half went up making the point of fur at the top of his head! It's pretty cool!

Whoah! That's pretty spooky! Compared to the Matterhorn's Abominable Snowman, it sure makes Everest's monster look pretty scary!
