The steam in the station is back up and running again. I was shocked myself.

I'm still annoyed that they removed the mermaids. Can someone explain to me why they did that.

It's about the little things. On it's own, it isn't that big of a deal, but when there are so many questionable changes made with this overhaul (changes that have nothing to do with the different character theme), it adds up.

I remember it too....and the steam when the trains came into the station...a little effect but went so far in making you feel like you were taking a steam train up the mountain... It was great!! There were always rumors that as soon as Pandora opened they would go back and fix all of Everest....but I guess that will not happen... especially if they move forward with Indiana Jones and Encanto... It would have to be after those tings were up and running...so at least another 5 years...and by then, the attraction will be 23 years old....

The mist wall with Davey Jones or Blackbeard has been gone since they removed the mermaids.

Is the mist wall in POTC permanently off? Or have they must not fixed it yet?

So does anyone know if the mist will be water or a fogging system ?

I saw Everest in its Glory Days! Full mist, full motion on the yeti, even the bird on a stick! The mist effect was really cool.

Well at the top of Everest you are supposed to be pretty much in the clouds, and there was an elaborate misting system installed to cover the peaks with dense mist, visible from the ground and on the ride. The mist system had all kinds of issues, including corroding all kinds of systems, and was permanently deactivated.

Some might call it a mist opportunity... I'll take a self imposed 24 ban on this thread sorry.

Wait what?! I've never heard of that. Regarding Tiana, I am happy to wait to ride to see how it all comes together. I still have a lot of faith in this ride. I did LOVE that brief view of the park right before the drop, but you get a similar view earlier in the ride which is also quite nice.

I suppose so since I never knew mist was supposed to be there. That really DOES make it a crime that it was never repaired.

I was going to comment this but you beat me to it.

I wouldn't mind the mist at all, especially when going through it on a hot day or night. The real concern is how long it will be around. Sorry but it's a valid concern. It was a crap shoot getting the mist and projection in POTC. You never knew when it was going to work.
