Yeti and Carnotaurus on Vacation?
Re: Yeti and Carnotaurus on Vacation?
I think Yeti in mod B is still pretty ok. As the car whooshes under it causes the hair on his arm to sway sort of giving the illusion of movement. It's such a great ride that even this little glitch is not much of a deterient.

I disagree. When she was in A mode, it was INCREDIBLE! In B mode, some of the people I have ridden with did not even SEE her. :(GaTechGal wrote:I think Yeti in mod B is still pretty ok.

Yeah, I remember for AP previews being impressed by A mode. It's kind of ruined B mode for me, and I will agree that people have missed him completely.StupidGuestPrick wrote:I disagree.

But B mode is better than him ripping himself off the wall and actually attacking a train for once.

Re: Yeti and Carnotaurus on Vacation?
Back when EE first opened, I think I saw B mode my first time. I remember thinking, I barely even SAW the stinkin yeti! That's what all the hype was about? But it must have just been an off day or something, because shortly after that, I rode again, and A mode Yeti scared the bejeezus out of me! So IMO the difference is immense and VERY noticeable. People who haven't seen A mode are missing out, big time.

I don't think it will make much difference which mode I ride it in, I won't see the yeti either way because I wear glasses and take them off on roller coasters, kinda sucks for themed coasters. I have contemplated contacts for a little bit though.

I always wear my glasses on Disney coasters. Never on any of them did I feel I might lose them. Universal's coasters are different, I wear a sports strap on my glasses to hold them to my face when I ride those.Lasolimu wrote:I don't think it will make much difference which mode I ride it in, I won't see the yeti either way because I wear glasses and take them off on roller coasters, kinda sucks for themed coasters.

Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Re: Yeti and Carnotaurus on Vacation?
Well, I have other reasons to be looking at contacts as well. Either way I will want even non-prescription glasses because I just look wrong without them. :p:Shorty82 wrote:I always wear my glasses on Disney coasters.

Re: Yeti and Carnotaurus on Vacation?
I rode it last week for the very first time ever (I'm really ashamed to admit that - my 12 year old had to dare me). Did I see A or B mode? It just looked like kind of a projector on a wall after the backwards run that jumped around a little and grunted. I guess the grunting could have been DH, though.
