Splash Mountain Disrepair

[JungleSkip]

Splash goes even further down the toilet.

Why the ride was even open baffles me.

I actually witnessed this on Saturday night when I went with my family and my brother and I were in tears laughing. It looks really disturbing!

Am I seeing that right, the chickens have no heads?? :shocked:

No, the heads are there. But the AAs, which must be in really bad shape, have dropped into "compliance mode" and their heads arebent backwards. It's basically a position that happens when stuff is really going wrong.

That's really creepy. But apparently it was like this all weekend?

Apparently it's still like this.

Should never happen. Not the breakdowns, those happen. But guests should NEVER see a ride in this shape. The minute this was reported, the ride should be closed and fixed.

Looks like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off

Yeah, that's a really big disregard for the quality of show.

If only guests mentioned real problems like this to Guest Relations.

It would be easier with a little kid cause then you can say the kid got scared from the demented looking chickens

Sadly, it wouldn't matter.

Why do they not create duplicates of each character? Surprised this isn't a bit more plug-and-play.

This is just sad and depressing.

WDW should be ashamed, but they aren't.

I just wish they had a General Show Manager at the parks who each day inspected all the attractions, shows, restaurants, shops to make sure all the show elements, lights, fixtures, and cleanliness are up to par.

Dear Disney please hire me for this job I just made up! I promise you will get a giant list of to-dos.

They have people that check out everything to spec books and make notes of issues. The big problem is the management of MK not wanting to halt rides or take them down for refurb. This is understandable in that MK is just too popular for its own good yet corp mngmnt is screaming for the parks to be monetized to the hilt; keep the people coming and happy. A modicum of general satisfaction is all they want from guests.

Disneyland doesn't have this problem as there are sooooo many attractions and the volume is seldom like that of the MK. Jymmy?

Apparently they were aware of the problems but with BTMRR closed just across the way, they didn't want to take Splash down as well. Apparently for being the #1 visited theme park in the world, especially now with Dumbo down, Toontown gone, and the rest of FLE still under construction, their capacity is s--t.

Their capacity was crap before all of that. Is mega super ultra crap now.

It'll be crucial nothing major breaks during February 29, because they'll be SOL if it does.

And if I understand the Fantasyland expansion correctly, when all is said and done, after we lose Snow White's Scary Adventure, the park gains only 1 more attraction.

 

[Vyrus]

2 technically, the 2nd dumbo, and the TLM

But both TLM and the Snow White coaster will handle higher capacities that just the current Dumbo and SWSA handles, which barely gets a line anymore.

You would count the 2nd Dumbo as another attraction?

He does have a point. Dumbo will take in a lot more people now.
