The light from the flash wasn't even near enough to make a dent in seeing inside the building when it was so dark. Tried several ways. If I had a DSLR with a big flash that I could bring on I would. Occam's Razor would suggest that the strobes are out and were the least of the maintenence team's...

So even a slow-motion a video with flash is still pitch black. CM's say that the strobes are just inop currently.

My friend just rode it and turned his flashlight on and it is for sure gone, will try and take a flash picture next time I go on.

Just got off Everest at the CM preview and it didn't look like the Yeti animatronic was in the building... they could've just had the strobes off and it was too dark to see, but none of us could see a yeti in the building.

The building isn't well ventilated enough for the water-based effects in the boiler room, so it created a nasty case of mold. After a great number of upper-respritory infections on the operations side, they decided it was best to turn them off

Some exciting news: WDI and operations finally got a budget approved to fix some of Tower's show effects. We should see a full replacement of VVC speakers, which has begun already, they've been slowly fixing the strobe effects, the steam in the boiler room is green-lit to be turned on again...

The ending scene with the boiler room is definitely one of the cooler scenes of the attraction. The actual ride system itself does not do anything special in that scene, which may be the cause of the perception of a lack-luster finale. The environment around you is amazing, but in terms of...

As someone who's experienced the attraction, here's what I have to say: The queue was very similar to the GMR, same red ropes and Chinese Theatre wallpaper, but they gutted every movie prop showcase to essentially make one giant room full of switchbacks. The preshow is very cute, Mickey and...

The audio issues are unfortunately more than just speaker issues. There are some wide-scale audio programming issues that they're trying to work out. As soon as the VVC speakers were fixed on Echo, library Echo started only playing the thunder about 50% of the time and would sometimes have no...

Haven't seen the reason behind the closure posted, so I figured I'd throw it out there. One of the wheels that helps propel the ride vehicles fell onto the track and therefore it is closed for investigation. Can't recall if there were guests on the ride or if it was during opening procedures...

Astro Orbiter is closed for an ongoing investigation similar to that of Primeval Whirl. The E-stop was pressed and instead of the ride stopping the spinning and the rockets landing, they all raised to the highest point and kept spinning.

Should change here shortly 😉

I know word from front-line cast doesn't hold much weight, but I'm a bellhop and can confirm that the refurbishment made to the drop shafts had to do with the motors and cables. Word on the grape-vine is that audio enhancements are next on the docket. Speaker upgrades can be made during 3rd...

Could you change mine to: Rod Serling Thanks!

I hate to even create a thread surrounding a rumor from "the site that shall not be named", but I need assurances that the Tiki Room is here to stay.

He was not making it up. Splash has a MASSIVE water reservoir backstage to the left of the attraction that holds about 1 million gallons of water. You can see all sorts of clothing articles floating around in there.
