9/29 Both Pandora Attractions Closed

What happens when you build one building for two rides?

Answer: You get it done cheap but lose redundancy. There was a major transformer failure for the building last night. They are sacrificing the river journey to try and get backup power to FOP. Highly probable both will be closed until sometime late Saturday at which point FOP might be the only one open.

Fixed. Sorry. Rushed to get that up after talking to an electrician on-site.

So information from an electrician is as good as information from a bus driver?

If you're dealing with the trade unions in Cook County, Illinois it might be even worse.

Sometimes with tech issues you never know. 300,000 years ago when I worked at Six Flags, maintenance informed me that my coaster would not be opening with the park and for at least three hours after that. So I went down to "host" the ride entrance. The park opens, I turn away about three groups, and before they made it any significant distance from the ride's entrance, I was told the ride is ready and can now open. It happens.

Na'vi River Journey is still down. We don't know if all Flight of Passage theaters are up. While both rides aren't closed, it's certainly not ideal.

Has FoP finally managed to have all theaters running at the same time? I hear all the time that they can't seem to get them all online together.

Or you install a power entrance for each attraction sized so each can handle the load of both attractions and add some switchgear to allow either entrance to supply one or both attractions

Yes. I'd wager all four are running the majority of the time, but I don't have numbers.

LOL, it's a pretty common proverbial phrase in Disney-speak, particularly when discussing rumors. While I think folks realize that not all drivers tell tall tales, it refers to the inevitable posts from people who sign up for the forum in a huff just to make their first post some outrageous proclamation and somehow, the source is almost always...something they heard from a bus driver at WDW. It's generally some really far-out "rumor" like the Matterhorn is coming to the MK, or, to the also connected proverbial "monorail expansion" that is always thisclose to breaking ground ("footers!").
