The Yeti
The Yeti, known to Cast Members as ‘Betty the Yeti’ and more commonly known among Disney Park-goers as the Disco Yeti, is a yeti who appears in the climax of the ride Expedition Everest. Originally, the Yeti used to take swipes at the riders of Expedition Everest, but this effect caused stress on the foundations of the ride, so the Yeti has been operating in ‘B Mode’ ever since; static, but with some strobes to give the illusion of movement. Hence the nickname ‘Disco Yeti’. The Yeti is voiced by Fred Tatasciore and was created by Disney Imagineer, Joe Rohde, who is retiring from the Walt Disney Company today.
