Disney may be planning to replace, rather than repair, the Yeti figure on Expedition Everest at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, according to Joe Rohde, the original Imagineer behind the attraction.
Rohde said Disney has found a solution for the Yeti, though no timeline for the work has been confirmed. The report does not specify when construction could begin or how the change could affect ride operations.
Expedition Everest is the Animal Kingdom roller coaster centered on an encounter with the legendary Yeti. The figure has long been a major visual element of the attraction, making any replacement a notable potential update for riders.
