Today was a magical day for me as for not only hitting the 3200 mark on EE, I also got to meet Joe Rhode. ºOº

Can I be you (for a while)? Congrats!

 

[crazyoldmaurice]

Oh wow - congratulations! Since Joe Rhode was there, I'm guessing the steam was working and the Yeti was moving too?

I've seen him a couple of times at AK -- in 2000 I walked up to him, shook his hand, and congratulated him on AK's immersive theming.

That's awesome! Congrats!

Did you ask him to fix all the effects before this awesome ride gets boring and becomes just another coaster. Its ashame how many effects normally dont run.

Actually she (the Yeti) wasn't even in "B" mode on my 1st 2 runs. It was totally dark in that part of the mountain,,,nothing. I had to tell one of my CM friends and on the 3 run it was only in "B" mode for the duration I was there. You would think with Joe being there they would've had it at least in the "B" mode for the 1st run of the day ºOº

That's so upsetting. It is such a great ride when everything is working... I hope they can sort out the bugs at some point in our lifetimes lol

There are at least 5 effects not working. Far as I know it will be after the holidays before anything is repaired. They have to remove the Yeti altogether to fix it (big crack in the foundation) ºOº

Just saying hi NYDisneyKid. It's been a while since I've seen you. Any chance you'll be there on Sunday? DH, DS9 and I will be out at SSR for a few days.

Forgive my ignorance but what does that mean

 

[tjl1388]

If I am not mistaken he has ridden EE 3200 times!!!

How would you measure that.

 

[Yoshi]

Keeping a log?

Every time I get home from a local park, I add to the list of how many times I rode each coaster.

 

[Brian Noble]

How would you measure that.

One.
Two.
Three.
...

I'm reasonably certain Joe Rhode is well aware of the state of EE's effects... in fact, I daresay he knows considerably more about them or the state of their repair than anyone else who posts on the DIS.

Congrats on the meeting and reaching 3200!

So how many times per week do you go to AK? And how many times do you ride EE on each individual trip?

IIRC NYDisneyKid keeps one of those clicky counter things. You keep a daily record then keep a total running.
