Don't worry, I never doubted the validity of your claim for a second! So now a few questions out of curiosity...

What's the longest you've been "stuck" on it for? Have you ever had to evacuate? Is the Yeti in full operational mode yet? Any cool stories?

So far I've been stuck "in the mountain" twice that we had to be evacuated. It was where the shadow yeti is. It's 17 flights of stairs to walk down. You see some tech stuff along the way but they dont let you take photos of use your cell phone. The Yeti (Betty) is still in the "B" mode (strobe lights). She has a crack in the foundation and hasn't worked in a long time now. Also got stuck on the "B" lift (that's the big one). Had to wait maybe 5 minutes but the ride started again. Also got stuck several times coming round where you are about to see the Yeti itself. Those times are brief. Maybe 1-2 minutes. I've also been in the "tower" where the ride is controlled. It's neat,,,has 16 TV monitors that watch areas of the ride. Sometimes when I'm riding with someone I tell them to wave to the camera,,,lol ºOº

WOW!! Congrats on reaching an amazing milestone! Maybe a crazy question but does the ride ever become boring or not as exciting after riding that many times??

Boring??? Hell no,,,I'm like a 57 year old kid with a new toy. I get more fun out of hearing the screams and especially like it when I ride with a newbe who's never ridin it yet. I had one family going when I told them that when the train goes in the mountain,the cars come apart and go all different directions and then come together before it comes back out. They TOTALLY believed me....LOL. I finally told them i was picking on them. ºOº

I was wondering what happened to your posts! I haven't seen any in a while...I thought maybe the Yeti ate you or something.

Congrats!!

Go for it!!!! Just make sure she gets a "counter/clicker" and make sure the CM's keep tabs on her. Also make sure she gets some kind of documentation after so many rides. I get mine every 100 runs. Where will you be moving to? Better get AP's if she plans on going alot. Keep me posted when you get here and we can all meet at AK sometime. ºOº

I rode this for the 1st time at the end of october. I did the single rider line, and i was sitting with a man that had been on it a ton of times and i told him it was my 1st time..so when we came to the part of the ride where the yeti had "ripped" the tracks up he told me that it continues to go up the tracks even though there are none there!!! I said "really"? haha could this have been you??

 

[8disneyfans]

Moving very close to Disney(not sure where yet). That's one of the reasons we are moving
With 6 kiddos it's the best place for us. We are getting APs as soon as we can do it!!! We are sooo excited!
I will keep you posted!

Isn't there a guy call "yeti man" that wears a fuzzy yeti hat and gloves and rides EE over and over.

His name is James from St Pete. Last time I saw him there was last year (April 7th 2008) for the 2 year anniversary of EE. He may have been there since but not on days I was there or he may have come in after I left. ºOº

Maybe,, I also tell newbee's that the torn-up tracks will move and we go over the edge,,,I love picking on the newbee's. ºOº

This type of thread is usually found on our happy dance board, so I'm going to move it over there now.

 

[Goofyseven]

Just a little OCD, but I wish I was a close to the World to be able to do this.

 

[8disneyfans]

Sorry they moved it again!

Welcome to Doing the Happy Dance where threads go to die.

With all due respect to (2) certain people on here,,I have made a decission not to post anymore about my EE marks. So if anyone wants to know what my count is just send me a PM and I will let you know that way. For those of you who have responded to my previous posts I will keep you informed by PM. ºOº

I do go just about every day.(at least 5 days a week) Most times ridin in one day was 58. numbers vary from day to day depending on crowd and weather. I wont go if its raining. But been like I said just about every day since moving here from upstate NY almost 18 months now. And YES,,,I have documentation by the CM's. They are always checking my clicker and verify with other CM's what the numbers read. Then I get a FP signed by the CM's in the loading and unloading area for every 100 runs. Just ask ILOVECOASTERS...She can also confirm. ºOº

Sure can! We've missed each other the past fews times, but the CM's always tell me you've been around. I call you "Clicker Man" and they smile.
