Looks like this could do on for at least a few more weeks.

Good luck, everyone.

FTHAGN!, Perhaps the legendary Ry'leth is located in Florida after all if this is the case it would explain much of the insanity seen there....

And if that happens I truly hope numerous execs get fired.
They can NOT pull a River Country on this one. The capacity is very much needed 5-6 months out of the year.

If they close it, it better be to redo and expand it. Their water parks are good but could certainly use some new water attractions

Sure they can.... Profits and Bonuses more important than guests

I sometimes wonder, in our lawsuit-happy culture, if the day's coming when waterpark insurance isn't worth the expense for the corporations owning them. I grew up in the twilight of *real* funhouses (S.F.'s PLAYLAND!!!) that threw you around and actually tried to make you lose your balance and trip. It was sad to see those great old attractions fade away. Sigh...good old days.

As a former Blizzard CM, I certainly agree that it's unacceptable that these two signature attractions remain closed after years of this same issue. But those who are suggesting permanent closure or that the problem makes the park unsafe are jumping to extremes IMO.
I have a very hard time believing that Disney would put thousands of guests at risk every day if the problem was that dangerous. Shuttering the park would be insanity as the other attractions still provide the needed capacity for those willing to forgo the big slides (a pretty high percentage of guests never venture up there as it is. I fondly remember walking John Stamos and Rebecca Romijn up there just to walk back down back in 2000).
I'm confident they'll eventually find a way to rectify this issue, it's just not as simple as it would be at you local water park.

Yeah ... They probably are thrill ride too ... But personally summit plummet is the only one that really stresses me just before the start ... Hard to explain ...What about Rockin' Roller Coaster, Everest, or Tower of Terror

It's because it's a lot more "real." The height and speed aren't an illusion, and you're not on tracks or in the safety envelope of a vehicle. Plus fear of wedgies.

"For now" is certainly true, but clearly this debunks any claims that things were unsafe or in danger of being shut down permanently. Let's hope they truly fixed the issue this time.
They can't master getting water from the bottom to the top of a waterslide and they want to automate an entire monorail system?
