...It seems like the water parks are having frequent technical issues. What gives??

 

[jonabyte]

not good, hope it is able to stay open next week.

They spotted a puddle and are looking for leaks............

Well, it's only 90 degrees, so these frequent closures at the water parks are no big deal, right?

Isn't the CP event there tomorrow night? Or is it at Blizzard Beach? Either way...good luck, CPs.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the long thunderstorm from last night…

 

[surfsupdon]

Get well, Typhoon!

I'm hoping it's just temporary! I'm headed down next week and looking forward to Typhoon Lagoon. It went through a surprise refurb last time I went down.

The usual at WDW, Maintenance specifically the lack thereof.

No biggie and the SAVINGS on staffing this closed attraction will help propel TWDC to another RECORD quarter...

After all the rubes are gonna visit WDW no matter what's closed at the moment aren't they....

Coincidence? They finally get the the major slides working at Blizzard Beach today, and then Typhoon Lagoon goes down. Sounds like somebody restored the pressure to BB and diverted it away from TL. Should be an easy fix.

This is just a ham handed budget cut

It's sounding more and more like these parks need a robust refurbishment where they actually start replacing aging infrastructure instead of just fixing it in the off season. If it weren't for both parks having major issues they could just shut one down for a year and redo everything top to bottom.

Or the issue they found at Blizzard Beach was significant enough that they are now addressing it at Typhoon Lagoon to eliminate it from happening? This is just conjecture on my part, no rumor or anything

Yep, and they are all b**ching about it today. They need to learn to be grateful that Disney is doing anything for them. Regular CM's don't get parties thrown for them like that.

When you make minimum wage or close to it, work 40-60+ hours a week with no say in the schedule that at times schedules your shifts exactly 8 hours apart, have no right to be in the union because you are an "Intern", or have any privacy in the apartment you pay more than double the going local rate for while living with up to 8 people and can be forced to work 12 days in a row, you would be slightly upset too when you were promised something fun and then had it taken away. TLDR: If you complain about CP's you've likely never been one.


Edit: btw regular cast do get parties and special events thrown for them depending on their work area and years of service. Catered lunches also happened at least once quarterly in my experience as well.

Guess they should've done more research then, huh? Any previous CP can tell you exactly how it will be. And catered lunches, special events and years or service awards isn't the same as private parties at parks after hours are they?

Tough. These kids need to learn the working world isn't all flowers and sunshine. Sometimes you bust your butt and get nothing for it. That's life.

If it's not one, it's the other.
I'll be there next week, I hope they're both up.
