fixed.
But it would make sense to prepare the mechanics (or replacement AAs) ahead of time so they could be installed during the 3 weeks it's closed in addition to 3rd shift work.

A bit O.T, but has anyone ever noticed the (I think pelicans, or could be crocodiles) that, in the first show scene, stop singing and turn towards you, saying "Good Day!" or something like that? I saw that on my last visit and I was like WOW!
P.S. Wouldn't that be a great place to put in that tracking technology?

It wasn't that Mr. Bluebird has been broken this whole time, he was with artist prep getting beautified. The one in the show was a static figure. Sadly we took out the gator with the concertina (accordian) the same night we reinstalled mr bluebird. I was hoping we could have a weekend with every figure in the show, but it was not to be. And Hoppy hasn't had any major downtimes in months.

this I know. I was talking more along the lines of reworking the ride from top to bottom doing whatever they can to make the need for a yearly refurb no longer needed, and what seems like week to week breakdowns a thing of the past.:shrug:
I understand... I just said 'downtime'.. hoppy has been working a lot lately... I thought it was bizzare seeing him down as well

Splash will almost always require a yearly downtime. Heck, all rides SHOULD have a yearly downtime, but that's a different discussion.
Animatronics in direct contact with water isn't an easy thing to up keep, which requires a yearly downtime.

Were the "jumping" fountains working in the ride?

Bingo. But no one wants it to be down in the off-season when they might be on their trip..we've all seen our share of "outraged and I'm not coming back" posts...:brick:
I have been going to mk regularly over the past year, and have yet to see the jumpiung fountains 'not' working.. I assume you mean the jumping fountains in the final show scene before the the big drop, right?
If the leapfrogs are not on, it's because they are turned off in the tower with a couple other water effects. We've never had a problem with the leapfrogs since I've been there.

Yea sorry I went back the next day and Mr Blue Bird was moving and Brer Rabbit wasn't hopping. Sorry about that.
That's at Disneyland. For the longest time it didn't work, but now it does. In our Splash Mountain, there's a screen to preview the photos in the queue line right before fastpass merge. It hasn't worked in ages.
