That promise lasted about 90 seconds. >>Personally, he looks more like a "Chewie" to me!<< Yeah........A sabre-toothed really pissed-off chewie maybe! Actually , I saw elements of several different creatures in the brief glimpse I allowed myself. Wookie,Predator,.....the gopher from Caddyshack...all in all pretty cool! Might be the scariest Disney attraction creature yet. 67 days...........C'mon March!!

I mean, it kind of took my breath away when I clicked on the link and it popped up. >> No you are not alone .. this creation is fantastic !!! I am super impressed. The designers should be proud. I look at this whole attraction and think "now THAT'S Disney!" KUDOS !!!!!!!!

Originally Posted By ssWEDguy I will post pictures of EE merchandise later today. Two things to check out -- There is a set of YETI Binoculars that look like the Yeti's head, complete with nose and teeth. His eyes are the binocular lenses. And there's a hat that is the Yeti version of the Stitch hat that sits up on your head. His teeth come down over your eyebrows.
Originally Posted By ssWEDguy Is the Yeti too scarey for little kids? I don't think so. He is pretty scarey, but you go whistling by him pretty quick. The train doesn't hesitate anywhere near him so that there would be the chance of being accosted. The first time I went on EE I didn't know what to expect, so he went by REAL fast. Later when you reride you know when he's coming up -- you can pay closer attention and enjoy him even more.

I have seen scarier and much hairier men in the leather bars in Amsterdam. Oh..that's an idea!! Put some chaps on Yeti and make him more fashionable.
