What Disney ride has a Yeti?

Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain, also known as Expedition Everest, is a steel roller coaster built by Vekoma at Disney's Animal Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The ride is themed around the Yeti protecting the Forbidden Mountain next to Mount Everest.



The Disney ride that famously features a Yeti is Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain, located in the Asia section of Disney's Animal Kingdom in Florida. In this high-speed roller coaster, the "Yeti" is the primary antagonist—a massive, 25-foot-tall Audio-Animatronic creature that protects the sacred mountain from the intruders on the "Anandapur Rail Service." The Yeti is legendary in the Disney fan community for its "B-Mode" status; shortly after the ride opened in 2006, the massive mechanical figure sustained a structural crack in its foundation, meaning it could no longer swing its arm at the passing trains without causing damage to the mountain's support structure. As a result, the Yeti has spent most of its life in "B-Mode," where it remains stationary and is lit by strobe lights to create the illusion of movement (earning it the nickname "Disco Yeti"). Despite this, the ride remains one of the most thrilling in all of Walt Disney World, featuring a section where the train stops, travels backward at high speeds, and eventually "encounters" the shadow of the Yeti before the final drop into the valley.
