New Lighting Spotlights Expedition Everest's Yeti Ahead of Long-Awaited Permanent Fix

While the infamous Yeti of Expedition Everest may not yet be fixed, some lighting changes have helped make him more visible than ever before.

What's Happening:

• During D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Walt Disney World fans got the news that one of the resort's most glaring issues will finally be fixed – the Yeti in Expedition Everest at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
• Disney Experiences Chairman Thomas Mazloum stated that "we’re bringing the Yeti back to life inside Expedition Everest at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!" Unfortunately, that's all we know for now...
• However, a far more subtle change to the Yeti debuted recently.
• Since the Yeti broke in the attraction's early years, a strobe light has instead flashed on the creature, creating the illusion of movement, with fans dubbing him "Disco Yeti."
• Now, a constant blue light fills the scene alongside the strobe lights, making it far easier to see the Yeti as riders zoom past – as you can see in the video below.

• Another change recently made to Expedition Everest was the removal of the attraction's Single Rider line – which has seen a change in set-up in the loading area.
