    Something like that was trimmed out of the original idea.

    EPCOT Explorer, It can become a lot different. The Yeti used to have a huge swat that had a ton of movement and action behind it. This new one will not be anywhere near the original movement.

    From my understanding, this would be similar to replacing the Wicked Witch in GMR with the Mary Poppins AA.

    Amazing how they continue to publicly promote a product that they can't/won't/might (whatever) deliver.

    Maybe because there are so few effects to begin with, that even the bird-on-the-stick becomes noticeable when it's broken.
