But, for me, it seems to be a projection and not an audio animatronic at all. Has anyone an answer ?

Also, so effects may not be working yet. Either way, this seems to be a wonderful addition to DAK. Blazesoffire - you will indeed need quicktime to view it.

And I really like the projected Yeti footage -- very cool. Looks like fun.

As for the quality of the Yeti AA over the Lave Monster, you're going past the Yeti so quickly on the video how could you tell? Seems you travel past the LM much slower then pick up speed after you pass as opposed to zipping under the Yeti on a coaster run.
