The World's Most Expensive Mannequin

A technological marvel. The most complex audio-animatronic ever built by WDI. And since March, 2009, the world's most expensive mannequin.

Expedition Everest was a truly immersive guest experience at the Animal Kingdom. The yeti was truly a never before seen figure. It's incredible size and smooth movement was awe inspiring. But unfortunately this treasure has been dormant for over a year.

Now I understand that this figure has mannyyyy moving parts. And in order to work on the yeti, the ride would be shut down for a short period of time. And sure, some guests don't know any better. A strobe light behind the figure is good enough for them. But that is not what WDI is all about. It's about exceeding guest expectations and holding yourself to a higher standard. The figure is embarrassing, and should be fixed ASAP.
