Why Are There a Million Hair Bands on Everest Mountain???

[Princess Katelet]

So why are there a million hairbands on the mountain where the track breaks just before you go backwards??

 

[Alesia]

Because people throw them there. There's no deeper meaning.

Disco Yeti prefers your hair down.

One litterbug followed by a million monkey see, monkey dos.....

 

[AngiTN]

Because they can

It's the same as throwing coins into a fountain. It's just a thing

I still have my "Ratt Rocks Everest" t-shirt.

Unlike throwing coins in various waters at WDW and making a wish,this doesn't seem to have a "purpose".

My favorite "theory" is that teen girls celebrating the transition from girl to woman throw them as a sign their "pony-tail little girl" days are over.lol

They also throw them form the ski lift at Blizzard Beach.

This is common with theme park rides... when I was at Kings Island last year I noticed sitting on the break run that a million hair bands were thrown on the maintenance shed on the coaster!

There are a ton of them at the end of 7 Dwarfs Mine Train right before you go by the hut where Snow White is dancing with the Dwarfs. It's just silly, and I can't imagine it's great for the local wildlife.

Well it’s what these theme parks market towards.... teenagers. Unfortunately there is a population of them who just don’t care and throw stuff like hairbands wherever they want...

I thought the Yeti spit them out after he finished with the rest.....lol

I don't think it's fair to assume that it's teenagers

Lol I actually asked once and was told it started with a cheerleader's during a comp event yrs ago. That's what a cast member told us.

It’s bad, but it’s way better than the gum wall years ago on the Mine Train at Six Flags Atlanta. There was a slow moving part before a tunnel and both walls of the shed were covered in gum.

Because we can't have nice things.

 

[Hoosier John]

No. 1000, that's funny. Yeti spits them out after finishing the rest

As a memorial to the once working yeti animatronic

But I actually just saw this earlier this month, glad someone else remembered to comment!
