Originally Posted By TDLFAN >>Can anyone explain the bird of prey effect that you see at the top of the hill?<< The bird of prey is seen flying in and out of view while the track switch is in progress before you go backwards... Poster Bill from Micechat had this interesting bit of info on this prop <a href="http://www.micechat.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18848" target="_blank">http://www.micechat.com/forums /showthread.php?t=18848</a> However, this bird was a bit too plastic and static for my taste, and would have been a better prop if it was designed to move it's wings as it flies up and down..
Originally Posted By TDLFAN I may also add that while it is funfor many to see these online videos of the ride.. these videos failed to give you the entire experience of the ride.. There are so many nice little details that are lost here due to the limitations of video camera lens angles. You gotta ride it for real to take it all in.

Originally Posted By TDLFAN THere is the very pronounced drop you see in the front of the mountain but that is it. No loops or corkscrews. You can tell is a coaster goes upside down just by the availability of shoulder restrains, and EE is not one of those. Think... a faster Big Thunder.
Originally Posted By danyoung >I might be wrong, but I think the Yeti we see in the video is a projection.< You are correct. The shot of the yeti tearing up the track, then yelling and making a leap, is all projection. The real AA figure goes by extremely fast. I have yet to see a video that has the time to do him justice.
