Inside Rise of the Resistance - sneak peek

According to Disney, "When it opens, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will blur the lines between fantasy and reality and will put guests in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance. Guests will be recruited to join Rey and General Organa at a secret base. Along the way, they will be captured by a First Order Star Destroyer. With the help of some heroes of the Resistance, they break out and must escape the Star Destroyer, protect the secret base, and stay one step ahead of Kylo Ren."

Star Wars Galaxy's Edge at Walt Disney World will officially open to guests on August 29 2019.

It could be argued that as you were already visiting wdw you were already paying for an inadequate product

Drives me nuts that people will pay an ILL price for a ride that is not working properly for most riders. Back in the day when Space Mtn was an ILL, I rode with the lights on and was granted a refund when asked. Last March, Guardians broke down and finished without music- I asked for a refund as a result and was granted. Don't pay for an inadequate product!

What: The Yeti. How: They take him apart and remove him through the access door installed solely for this purpose. When: I don't have an exact date, but I believe it was around 1-2 years after going into permanent B mode.. @marni1971 might have a more exact date. EDIT: If you are interested, there is a ton of information here. https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/expedition-everest-effects-status-watch.171808/ This post is particularly helpful. https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/expedition-everest-effects-status-watch.171808/page-141#post-7514980

What? How? When?

The yeti is relatively low to the floor and has its own access door to remove it from the building - as has been done at least once.

The yeti was installed after the mountain was built. It has also been removed completely at least once.

How is that incorrect?

1000% incorrect.

It's just some nondescript coaster themed to India or something. No one cares... right? :cautious:

No it’s literally impossible to fix the yeti without tearing the ride apart

Well, you know what they say - 'Never trust a YouTuber'.

the excuse for the yeti is always “nobody actually notices” or the family from Denver doesn’t care….. If your competitor is paying designers to construct jokes about it and then install them in a gift shop….. I think people actually notice and oh yeah…. That family from Denver is probably going to Universal anyways :-p
