DHS Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular Boulder Incident

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Pandora has multiple attractions and was not a mistake.

I still think the idea of crossing over a bridge and made me go light-years to another planet when I clearly can smell Rainforest Cafe food on the other side...

I thought the only reason to get rid of old attractions was because the data proved that the everyday visitor didn’t like them?

its seems like the data proves that Indy is very popular.

I think that’s one reason but not the only one.

Shows can run so long that they get stale; people may like to see something new and different.

And they are finally changing up the Monster Horror Makeup show at Universal....

I’m sure glad nobody decided to get rid of me after I turned 36 years old…!!!!!

I don’t think anyone is taking vacation time and paying to see you.

[HMF]

Seriously? Its been running for 36 years and one incident means its time to get rid of it?

After the closure of GMR and Splash I firmly believe they can close virtually anything at this point.

 

[Horizons '83]

Yikes. It’s time to get rid of this show.

Really? Disagree. Time to modify but not get rid of, that’s ludicrous.

 

[WDWhopper]

Yes, but there's a wall and rail there that would have stopped it, as it has done in the past.

If a veteran stunt man who has been in the show for years, decides that it’s important to try and stop the 400 pound ball before it potentially goes into the audience, I would take his decision over your theoretical outcome armchair quarterbacking.

If these last 3 years have taught us anything, assume everything is on the chopping block.

Yea, it’s like the newer Imagineers feel a deep need to make their mark, no matter what they blindly screw up, in the process. It’s all about them, and their “mark”, even if their mark is a turd track.
But, you know, them cars rally-racin’ things is all ‘bout the ‘Merican frontier…!!!!!

Yep. Jungle Cruise and Tomorrowland Speedway shouldn’t feel too comfortable

Nah. HM, IASW, peter pan, pirates, peoplemover, SSE, LWTL, TT, safari i don’t see going anywhere.

 

[ChrisFL]

this thread is a fascinating read

I talk to two Imagineers regularly, both having joined the company in the past few years. One is highly steeped in the company's past and reveres who came before him - the other knows about that stuff (or at least seems to), but cares more about getting ahead and advancing - very much "making a mark" kind of guy. You can guess which one I prefer to talk to, and who I make time to talk to when I can...

This thread is a very interesting peek into human nature, and it's not particularly reassuring.

Yeah, but you're not having incidents where your ball springs loose and injures a CM like what happened with the Indy Stunt Show.

Well....

Point by point, HM-likely not going anywhere but may lose several elements due to "Sensitivity". IASW-The fact that WDW is the last hold out from putting advertisements I mean characters in the attraction is frankly amazing and is the one example in which TDO's cheapness actually comes in handy. Peter Pan could hypothetically be replaced at some point but I doubt it will be in the foreseeable future, Pirates is likely not going anywhere but the constant "Where is Jack Sparrow" dialogue has always been annoying and is dating the attraction seeing how we have not had a new POTC movie in 9 years and Johny Depp has nowhere near the profile and clout he used to command. We saw with the Disneyland version that Peoplemover is always endangered. SSE even in its unfortunate current version still has the bones of a great attraction. I just hope they don't mess it up like they were planning to 6 years ago but were stopped thanks to COVID. LWTL I am legitimately amazed has remained largely unscathed since 1993 and I hope it stays that way. Not that a non-IP update wouldn't be appreciated if that were possible with this management. TT is likely safe for the foreseeable future as is the Safari, probably.
