Everest has a giant animatronic Yeti that (according to Wiki) "has not been in full A-mode operation since a few months after the ride's opening. It currently only operates in B-mode and has a strobe light effect on it to give the appearance of movement. This is due to damage to its concrete base structure, which is unlikely to be repaired until a major refurb in the future."
Here is what the Yeti looks like in A-mode:
Here is the less scary B-mode:
And this is C-mode, which thankfully they have not had to use:
Here is a ride video (you see the yeti for a few frames at 3:13):
Here is a slow motion look at just the Yeti part of the video:
Finally, there is an excellent documentary online from Discovery Channel about the ride. Take a look:
