Is that a yeti? Or a turkey…

First, we in Passamaquoddy wish everyone outside of our tiny hamlet a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. I’m sure you’re all sitting down for your traditional lobster and scallops, mussels and salt water taffy pie! Unless you’re like those other people I hear of who eat turkey birds. Which brings us eventually to…

Expedition Everest! (what a segue!)

From my first experience aboard the Expedition Everest ride at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, I was awe-struck by the incredible Yeti effect near the end of the journey. But, on many recent rides I’ve noticed the Yeti has a different look. While it is still effective, it is in no way as powerful. From some discussions, I hear that the Yeti animatronic is broken down. And rather than shut the E-Ticket attraction down, they use a strobe lighting effect that simulates movement surprisingly well. Hopefully, the incredible beast will return to its full movement, so they gan turn on the beautiful lighting inside the Yeti’s cave.. And soon.
