Unfortunately not, it happened so quickly that I didn’t have my phone ready. The attraction went down right when I exited my log so I assume a Cast Member caught it and decided that wasn’t appropriate show.
No. Even by this rides maintenance standards that’s unbelievable.
Repairs made with clear zip ties.... Yup, that sounds like today's Disney company
Remember all the people saying how important a remaking of this ride was because of how high the maintenance costs were for the original?
I honestly don’t remember this. I recall people saying the retheme could present an opportunity for Disney to address the ride’s maintenance issues (which obviously proved a misplaced hope), but I don’t recall anyone who endorsed the project claiming that Tiana would be cheaper to operate than Splash. On the contrary, those who kept saying this was all about cutting costs tended to be in the anti-retheme camp.
Yes, I think this is the typical re-writing of history on these boards where cautious optimism or just neutrality morphs into enthusiastic endorsement.
Plus things that were posted by certain individuals get conflated or confused with things posted by others. And so the oft-heard line “Disney is only doing this to cut costs” gets reframed as a positive opinion voiced by those who supported the retheme or weren’t opposed to it outright.
If I’m not mistaken, @lentesta has said the reviews he collects show great enthusiasm for the new ride. I personally think it’s a major downgrade, though it needn’t and shouldn’t have been.
