New Boats on Pirates

[Tom]

IIRC you don't even need to look back toward the ride. It's just on your left after you get out of the boat.

Apparently I'm just oblivious

Nah, it's just one of those things that's right in front of you but you don't really notice because you have no reason to! If you make a point to look for it, you'll be like, "how did I miss that?" but like I said, I didn't even notice it all the times I rode until someone went to use it right in front of me.

I was on Pirates yesterday and it seems like they're having some problems with water collecting in the new boats. About every 4 boats, they would stop the ride. Then a CM would take a bunch of soaked towels from the floor of an empty boat, then replace those with fresh towels. A LOT of water was coming out of these boats.

It looked like the boats are bowing around the fourth row, causing water to puddle very badly. My boat, though open to guests, had over half an inch of water in it (leaving my flip flops very wet)!

Now they have CMs wearing rubber gloves bailing out the boats using dust pans.

OK...Now is it time to put a stop loss on my DIS stock?

Honest to God, if I hadn't read it here, I wouldn't have noticed anything new. I'm sure I've been on them...

Another new thing learned from the good people on this board.

How long before they can fix the leaky boat issue?

 

[raymusiccity]

Did they have to get more ridge boats to make up for the new 250 lbs per passenger average???

I think that was the issue. (doesn't take too many weight challenged people to make the boat drag bottom)

Pun intended.

Yo ho, yo ho, a leaky boat for me!

America needs to go on a diet. The boats look nice, higher backs than previous boats.

Today, I learned that finding elevators and filming them in operation is a thing.

It's a bit difficult to see in this photo exactly how MUCH water was in the boat. But even with 1/2 inch thick sandals, feet were still getting wet in this disgustingly dirty water

Everyone has their "thing".

Oh I know. Wasn't being negative, really. Just had no idea that there are literally hundreds of YouTube videos of elevators. Have to admit that I went pretty deep into the Related Vids for them, too.

Maybe I'm the only one but....it's WATER.

If the boats are leaking, that is a serious problem.

They are not leaking.

They are not leaking.

When I read this I pictured Captain Jack in his boat trying to bail it out with a bucket.

How is the water getting in them? The drop does not put that much water into one of these boats. Not in my 38 years of experience anyway.

It does now. Your 38 years of experience were not with the new boats...
