No idea what ride, or which lagoon. Judging by the photo, Im guessing the main lagoon?

The picture looked like they were at Mythos.

I guess it would have to be. Possibly in Mcelliot's Pool by Cat in the Hat, but...

...yes. They seem to be by Mythos.

Since this kinda has to do with the lagoon, well anyways when I was in the smoking area in MSHI next to toon lagoon (as I don't smoke I was looking at the lagoon) and noticed a turtle and lots of fish in the lagoon. Were these put in on purpose or could someone explain why they are in there, surely an artificial lagoon doesn't really have a decent ecosystem - unless tm's are feeding the fish/turtles. I also saw a turtle when we were on the seuss trolley?

Sorry if this is a stupid/pointless question

It is assumed the fish were placed there, as they are all Carp. Carp are bottom feeders, and as some of the guest that visit are also bottom feeders, they end up throwing food into the water. Have you ever noticed the bubblers in the middle of the IOA lagoon? There are at least three of them and they are there to aerate the water, much like a fish tank. There was a softshell turtle living in the lagoon back before potter construction, so perhaps that is the one you saw. Not sure how he got there.

I dont understand how he got in to the water? Was he walking on the ledges near the lagoon? If so could this be the mothers fault for letting a child climb on objects you souldnt ?

 

[Teebin]

I would assume that his mother put him over the fence at sneech beach and he decided to go play with the swimming sneech.

^ This could be the case but they also said he jumped into 6ft of water in the news report but that also may have been wrong

Considering the article used the reference "The Dr. Suess Ride" but then showed a photo near Mythos... :shrug:

 

[slappybob]

^ Yea the way they worded that whole report did sound weird maybe Teebin was correct about the mom letting it on Sneech Beach

Let me shed some light. The pictures on WFTV were taken of a different call that happened 15 mins. after the call for the mother and child in the lagoon. The pictures have been taken off the WFTV site. The incident did happen in Seuss, but I don't know how they ended up in the lagoon.

The news can be soooooo lame! All of central florida is wondering where the kid was in that chopper video. I know I was wondering.

 

[Blastiel]

Not related as such but I remember seeing the bubbles and the turtle that was mentioned early. Also near the JP Visitors center was a "just a bit older" then a kitten, Cat. Looked quite chilled hang out by the INGEN jeep.

Kind of worried Universal might be forced to do something here as these seem to of been removed. They said DO NOT CLIMB, so would't surprise me if there added in either larger format or in Spanish as well. Lousy parents

I see a lawsuit on Universal's hand real fast. Some one falls over on purpose an said it was an accident. An they have the " hey no sign on the rail saying I can't " excuse.
People will try anything.

 

[slappybob]

I swear if this was all about them wanting to get money out of this these people sould be banned from the parks...
