Has anyone ever wondered if they would ever have a snow effect for the ride? Either inside the ride or outside? I think that would be cool but it would be really hard to pull off.

I like the fact that it is tame enough for my three-year-old to ride. There is so much they could do to the ride to enhance it. The ice/Yeti makeover is from the 1970's!!! It's time for some updated effects.

Originally Posted By TP2000 The carved Matterhorn faces! Hans, I'd forgotten about that! Peering back into my memory banks (and someone correct me here if I'm wrong), that was a concept being thrown around in early 2003 when Cynthia Harriss was still the President. They were coming up with ideas for the 50th, and I guess that was something they had considered for the 45th and scrapped back in '99 but they brought it up again and were mocking up some concepts for it. It would carve the Fab Five's heads into the Matterhorn like Mount Rushmore. Shortly after that story was released, Cynthia Harriss resigned effective immediately to spend more time with her family. That same day they announced that Matt Ouimet would step into Cynthia's shoes, and we never heard one more word about the Matterhorn Mount Rushmore idea for the 50th. Interesting how that stuff works, isn't it?

Originally Posted By SFH Ohana beat me to the Kermit thing. Glad that didn't happen. "They could pump up the AC indoors" But then they would have to enclose all of the track and add doors to the entrances/exits. Gotta be "green", even if not Kermit green, right?
Originally Posted By Dabob2 It would be more effective to simply have one blast of VERY cold air (probably right after you reach the summit and you're still moving pretty slow) to give you that quick "chill" rather than trying to make the temp inside colder over all. Once you start moving quickly, you'd hardly notice anyway.
