Dopey Almost Falls off Fantasmic Boat

[discos]

Came across this video of Dopey falling off the 2nd floor of the Steamboat. I really hope both the performers are alright. Does anyone have any information?

 

[Chef Mickey]

Didn't look bad at all. I'm sure the performer is fine.

 

[sxeensweet]

All reports I have seen from people there or cm's have said he was okay. No injuries.

It's a good thing Goofy was there to break his fall. I bet Dopey would've landed in the water if it wasn't for him. Now that would've been worse!

I was looking at a video of this that someone posted on Twitter and they said that despite the fall, hardly anyone realised what had happened as the cast continued performing. The poster themselves said they didn't notice Dopey's fall until they played back the video.

 

[Brad Bishop]

I'd think that Goofy being there and the fact that he was dressed as a character (foam padding) probably did him (her?) a great favor.

Falling in the water would be bad however, with whatever works are beneath the water line to propel and run the show. Good catch Goofy!

Just saw the video and that was very scary. Glad the person didn't completely fall off the boat and great catch/stop by Goofy. Goofy also did not miss a beat either as he/she kept non dancing as the whole thing unfolded.

 

[Miceberg]

Goofy sure took a beating!

As someone else said, there's probably a lot of stuff under the water for the show, so it's a good thing the actor missed going in there.

 

[Adam Snider]

I hope they are ok, but Goofys reaction is hilarious. He is like should I help? Twirl flag? help? twirl flag?... Oh someone else is helping, twirl my flag it is.... hahaha

News Flash..... Super Goof saves Dopey

 

[steviej]

I would think that the absolute worst thing he could've gotten outta that was a concussion

 

[Konor]

As long as everyone is ok am I the only one who thinks this couldn't have happened to two better characters? Dopey, the clown of Snow White, not only falling but falling on Goofy?

The only thing that could have made it better would be if either a) Goofy stood up and ripped off his clothing to reveal the Super Goof red flannel pj's or b) it is revealed that Dopey fell because he had diamonds over his eyes and couldn't focus properly.

It's ironic that Dopey fell on top of Goofy. Scary situation though

 

[DisneyFans4Life]

OMG poor Dopey. That definitely could have ended much worse.

Does anyone know when this happened? We were there on Saturday night at the 9pm show and didn't notice it. It rained that day so I'm wondering if that second deck was a bit slippery.

I believe this was the 9pm show on Sunday Aug 7th.

Does anyone know if steamboat Willie was out Monday night for the show?

Several people have said that there's no boat, just fountains due to Dopey's fall.

 

[DisneyFans4Life]

I wonder if they're adding something to fill in the gaps in the railing so something like this doesn't happen in the future.

I've heard they are going to install two feet of riprap along with a weaved rope fence...
