Busch Gardens' Alpengeist Yeti

Alpengeist is a roller coaster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg in James City County, Virginia. There is a "runaway ski lift on an ice mountain" theme to the ride.

Over the years, the theme park's marketing people have used an image of a Yeti (the monstrous spirit of the mountain (aka the "Alpengeist")) to promote it. Great minds apparently think alike - am I right?

I had to do quite a bit of digging around to find the below images. You can thank me later.
