Tom Sawyer Island Water Wheel

[threeyoda]

The Water Wheel at the Harper's Mill building on TSI has been fixed or turned on again, as reported by MiceChat

Funny how they have money to fix a wheel, but have problems on a daily basis with splash going down and keeping all of the AA working? Most people wouldn't even notice the wheel, but rest assured they will notice that the laughing place hasn't worked in the past year.

I guess that is a good thing! Really not that important.

It's not that important or anything, but people say Disney is "Declining by degrees", I guess this is "Improving by degrees". It's a little feature that adds to the authenticity of the area.

I guess what I am trying to say is fix the things that have the most eyeballs glued to them. Yes that's great that they fixed the wheel, but fix some of the stuff that is glaring in the parks.

I am one of those people who appreciates details like this. This made me happy.

Bit by bit, some love is being spread around so good news is still good news. In spite of the problems WDW may have been having, I'm still optimistic about the future.

I’m glad they got the old corn mill back in working order. Looking forward to Aunt Polly’s ground grits and corn meal.

It's the little things in life that really matter, is WDW starting to understand?

They needed to generate some additional electricity to help with the expansion........

The wheel working is one of the small details that makes disney disney. If we are going to talk about glaring show pieces not working, yeti.

Things like this mean everything. A thousand details like this IS the Disney difference.

And no cartoon synergy, no DVC, no sponsor in sight! I could weep with joy! Well done.

Been a good few weeks for water wheels. First the wheel over in Morocco at Epcot, not Harper's Mill on TSI. We could argue all we want about whether they should have broken down in the first place, but at least someone noticed and decided to have them fixed.

Maybe they've hired a new head of Water Wheels. He/she's having a landmark week.

Small news... but good news! Thanks for reporting!

Nothing beats this kind of view.

Good news! For the longest time they have had a piece of sheet metal in place and it wasn't running.
