Re: Broken Yeti on Expedition Everest - Mystery Solved?
This is part of why I think Lee's story of a bad part makes much more sense. A structural or foundation problem results from either miscalculating the forces the Yeti figure so much that they exceeded the safety factors, but this seems odd because of Newton's Third Law of Motion. The forces being exerted were artificial and controlled, so unless the forces moved somewhere they were not expected to move, not knowing the force of the figure is a REALLY big screw up. If the structure or foundation was not built properly, then Disney's legal department would be all over somebody for taking down this huge investment. Fighting over who has to pay (take responsibility) for replacing the parts just seems like such a simpler answer and would explain why the Yeti figure was temporarily put in A-Mode for the park's 10th Anniversary, which would never have happened if there was a risk of structural failure.
