Expedition Everest, minus one?

[Robo]

Expedition Everest:

The much-discussed Yeti at Expedition Everest has been a "mechanical problem" since the soft-opening and AP/DVC previews in late January '06.

So much so that Disney Imagineering has decided to "pull the plug" on this "abomination of an Abominable Snowman" and remove him from the ride (at least for the foreseeable future).

"Tech" Headman, the maintenance crew supervisor of EE said he's sorry to see the Yeti go, but it will make for smoother operation of a ride that has already seen a precipitous drop in ridership since it first went "on-line" for previews.

"We're not trying to go backwards here", said Headman, "but the Yeti created a destructive atmosphere."

Many riders who first were lifted by the idea of the Yeti, change their position after a pause for reflection.
We have been both ways on this thing.

The Yeti, as he was constructed, is only a shadow of what we thought he could be, it just when downhill from there in a big way.

We thought the Yeti might just mean the end to the whole EE attaction if we continued in that way.

We want guests to enjoy best attraction experience.
After the dropping of the Yeti, we hope more people will scat back to the queues again.

Good thing this day comes but once a year!

What amazes me to this day is how many people will see things posted today and believe them. It never occurs to folks what the date is. Hell, even without the date I tend to only believe a small portion of what I read online.

This one is wonderfully cleverly worded!!

Good one Robo. One of the better ones I have read today. Thanks for the laugh!

Yeah… My excuse for not knowing the day is that I've been out of work for a week with pneumonia. I got all twitchy this morning after reading that the Disney honchos had decided to rename Cinderella's Castle in honor of Elsa, and do an entire "Frozen" facelift. Probably created by the same evil genius who threatened to remove the Yeti.

Every sentence is so clever, but this is my favorite!
This is the best April Fool's story I've seen all day. Thanks, Robo!
