Isn't Fantasyland usually always a mob??? I remember there being WAY too many adults with children on leashes.Originally posted by TimeTrip
Actually.. the fact that its philharmagic hasn't changed much. The area between IASW and Peter Pan then heading down to columbia harbor house is just a mob of people during busy days

This sort of relates to the topic. I was told on the message boards quite some time ago that the reason they couldn't drain the lagoon at the time was because of a sink hole. I was just wondering what has changed that has made it to where that can drain it now?
Yeah, I've heard several reasons as to why they couldnt drain it. Fact is, a good chunk of costuming and the locker rooms are underneath sections of the lagoon, so a sinkhole scenario wouldnt really work. I've heard other things like the walls will collapse if they drain it. That, after looking at the recent pics, is obviously bogus too.

it's just about empty of water

It seemed a little odd to me. This makes me wonder if the sink hole under Horizons was true or was it just an excuse to ditch a popular attraction. But that is another topic.

I keep hearing about these sink holes. What are they?

Basically a sinkhole happens when the land has rocks underneath it that can be naturally dissolved by ground water. AS the rocks dissolve caverns form under the ground. If and when the space gets too big the ground collapses. Florida is one of the states that seem to have the kind that can do a good bit of damage.

Sinkholes in Florida are a rather common occurance, and can be quite large. A couple of years ago I heard about a sinkhole in Sebring, FL (Central Florida, about 1.5 hours from Disney) which formed under a couple lanes of State Road 27, causing a rather large portion of road to collapse.
It is possible for a sinkhole to form under 20k Leagues, but if there were, it would probably form underneath the utilidors, under the costume department.

ok, i'm not a science person so here's my question:
Even if there was a huge sinkhole under 20k, unless you were draining the water from the attraction into the ground underneath (which I would imagian would be an environmental nightmare) why would draining the lagoon cause it to sink in? It just sounds to me that if they're relieving presser on unstable ground then wouldn't it be less likely to collapse and therefore a good thing to do?
maybe some science savy person can help me out
