Although the focal point of the attraction, the Yeti in Expedition Everest has not operated in “A-Mode” since mid-2009 <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/expedition-everest/news/03jul2009-expedition-everest-yeti-returns-to-full-motion.htm '''Editors Note: This is the last confirmed instance of the Yeti running in A Mode'''</ref> . While in “A-Mode” the Yeti’s arm lunges out at guests as their train speeds by. Due to a crack in the creatures support structure however, Disney has turned the movement effects of the Animatronic off <ref> http://www.mainstgazette.com/2011/04/guardian-of-mountain.html </ref>. Instead, the Yeti currently runs in “B-Mode”. The “B-Mode” yeti does not move, however strobe light effects are used to give the illusion of movement <ref> http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2010-08-01/business/os-disney-expedition-everest-yeti-080110_1_expedition-everest-real-yeti-walt-disney-world-spokeswoman </ref>. “B-Mode” yeti has been given the nickname “Disco Yeti” by many in the Disney community.
