She makes a vital mistake; she's not taking into account the money saved when they inevitably give up and stop trying to fix it at all!

 

[ChrisFL]

I think they're just going to make it some shiny material that won't light up at this point

 

[Disstevefan1]

Oh boy a trip hazard! And the little spots of different color lights, is that yet another failure mode?

 

[Disstevefan1]

I think the solution here is to rip out the planter and ground lighting and put in a big beautiful FOUNTAIN in!!!!!!!

“Not sure how these managed to work for so long… We have get rid of them and the tech used. “

 

[SplashJacket]

At this point I wonder how much of the damage is guests actively messing with it since it’s actively become a talking point

This was an old reliable, presumable completely analog system replaced today with a "state of the art" all digital software controlled system.

Fountain. Fountain. Fountain.

They’ll definitely maybe be working by Christmas!

If they could find a way to get us to book an ILL for this, it’d work now. Individual Lighting Lightning Lane? Starting bids at $20?

 

[Ayla]

Good gravy. Utter embarrassment.

Blaming stuff on guests is always an option like when guests are peeling stickers off the walls in the queues because Disney refuses to use real finishes, but in this case I am not sure this is the guests fault.

What non real finishes is Disney using in their queues?

They used stickers on the walls in some of the queues for decoration and theming (instead of properly painting, or properly printed wall coverings) that were easily peeled off by guests waiting in the long standby queues due to the failed LL system (I cant think of all of the queues, I think TRON was one).

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is another one.

Yes that was another one I was thinking of, thanks.

Lol

So you’re just focusing on a single installation in the Tron queue that you don’t even really understand the product being used. It wasn’t “stickers”

I’m assuming you’re also alluding to things like the wallpaper in the runaway railway queue. Wallpaper is also not “stickers” and is most certainly a real finish.

That was wallpaper.. not stickers. Wallpaper is a real finish.

Yea, TRON and MMRR are just two, and you are right I am not a wall covering expert.

You're right, everything Disney does is mostly perfect (especially in WDW) and we must blame problems on the guests.

Its probably those filthily APers that are purposely damaging the in ground lighting in the highly successful World celebration area in EPCOT.
