“The yeti is a complicated Audio-Animatronics figure whose complex functions have presented some challenges affecting its operation,” said Walt Disney World spokeswoman Andrea Finger. “We purposely took measures in 2008 to reduce unnecessary stress and preserve many of its functions while we studied possible long-term solutions.
“At this point,” she added, “we’re still considering those options.”When will the figure once again work as intended? Never.
The design is fundamentally flawed and the current figure worthless. Someday we may see a fresh attempt, but bearing little in common with the original design.
