That accident was due to operator error in not calculating the wind load on the item it was lifting at the time, 450 tons. The winds were just within tolerances for the crane itself. Wind speeds were between 20 and 21 miles per hour (32 and 34 km/h), with gusts of up to 26 to 27 miles per hour...

Looks like it's fully assembled. The assembly crane is still there though. It didn't look like they had all of the counterweights attached yet though.

Has anyone received the details for next week's animal Kingdom night?

I think this all depends upon how long it has been since maintenance has last cleaned the dust off of that scrim. With it being horizontal, it has to collect a lot of dust which effects your view/clarity of what's above it. I know what's above it but when I went on the ride in October, I would...

The old fountain was not show ready for years. But Disney didn't care.

The fountain was running pretty ragged the last 5 years. There was unequal pressure among the nozzles causing different height, water sprays. Some nozzles just dribbled out water during the show or just continuously. Some of the nozzles were misaligned causing the spray to go in the wrong...

From what I have heard, yes they do often. But Test Track's track is steel with what looks like an anti-slip texture applied to it. The tires will grip that pretty good, minimizing wheel slippage. Now on a textured concrete track, there will be a lot of wheel spin unless your going as slow as...

I want to know who the manufacturer of the tires will be. I want their stock. With the sharp texture of the concrete track, those tires are going to wear down quickly and need frequent replacement. If it was a dirt track, there would be more slippage and less wear on the tires. They will be...

I am surprised that those contracts with the companies were that iron clad that Disney couldn't end them early, instead of waiting years for the last one to expire while the building just got more vacant as time went by. The last few years were very bad show.... But that could be said of a lot...

Any idea why?

So your saying that Disney should have leveraged Feld to help design this show? The experts....

The Disney of old would have applied the 5 keys and waived the cars through.... Current Disney: Do you know how much parking revenue we would loose?

I think that smoothed dirt is the existing colored concrete. The only dirt sections are near the footings for the new canopy and that area isn't smooth. The whole front looks like its in a holding pattern waiting for those concrete footings to cure to full hardness. They can't attach...

Someone forgot to turn the lights off when they left.

If you zoom in, you can see that there's a BJ's wholesale club refrigerated semi trailer parked there. I wonder what that's all about.

It can also be that repair crews are deenergizing a section with down wires to work on them. This will temporarily take down power in that section for people who are still working. Happens up here in the NE all the time after ice storms. They will deenergize a section to work on the down...

They have completely drained the ROA several times over the years to do repair work on the track for the riverboat (and scoop out the mud on the bottom). They didn't didn't seem to have any issues at those times. I think the problems lie in the swampy areas behind ROA and the loss of the...

Nope, not replaced but sheared. From NHC: WSR-88D radar images from Tampa and Key West show that Milton is a sheared hurricane, with the heaviest precipitation to the north of the center, and the eye open on the south side. This structure was confirmed by a recent Air Force Reserve...

Probably to contain broken glass...??

Duh..... Totally went over my head.
