What the heck are you talking about? Domino effect? Give me a break! This is a result of people going by internet dates, ignoring all the signs Disney was giving. This does not affect any other ride and causes no domino effect.
Again, statements like this that make it seem like its the end of the world.
Okay, so let's just ignore the fact that the giant electronic screen in the front of the park would have told you it was closed. Let's ignore the fact that the times guide said it wasn't open. Let's just ignore the fact that there were a dozen CMs in and around the Mexico area that could have told you it was closed (or possibly why). Where else do you want them to put a sign up? Do you want a sign up before you enter the park? Because that would be rediculous. Just like those people a while back who said there should be a sign up saying if EE is temporarily down.
Where else do you want a sign? And more importantly, what the heck is a sign going to do that a simple walk in the Mexico pavilion and saying "Hey look, its closed........ want to ride Maelstrom?" can't do?
I feel absolutely NO sympathy. Wasting their mornings? Are you freakin' kidding me? They are five steps away from riding Maelstrom? A 3 minute walk from going on SSE, Mission: Space, Universe of Energy and all the other attractions there. They have the distinct pleasure of seeing the monorail go by every few minutes. They have the wonderful priviledge of hearing Epcot's beautiful background music. Again, cry me a freakin' river.
As stated many times, they were going by internet posted times, which are rarely accurate. All the official WDW publication published the date as Early April.... NOT April 2nd.
As I just posted, their information was more then properly distributed. Electronic times guide, paper times guide, CMs in an around the area, the actual visual that its closed. What else do you want? Don't blame Disney for you not taking these publications into account.
Along with the aforementioned phone number, there is also the Guest Relations Number of 407-824-4321. And yes, there other number is given on their
website. Before you talk about things being frowned upon, try actually taking a look at what your talking about.
Times Guides aren't often vague. They are updated every Sunday, so if the attraction is going to be closed for all (or most) of the week, it will say "Temporarily Closed", "Open Early April", etc. If the attraction is scheduled to be open that week, it changes to "(Sunday, Monday, Tuesday).... Temporarily Closed (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday).... 11am-9pm".
There was no reason to believe it was open either. All official WDW publication told it was Early April.
So now your saying that it is logical that Disney would open an attraction that wasn't finished yet????
Okay, so now there are "all of the closed signs." Earlier in this thread there were no signs whatsoever. Why on earth would Disney keep up "closed" signs if the new attraction was open? Do they still have "Horizons is closed" signs out?????
Mousermerf, you are starting to cross the line between "Mildly over the top" and "That Crazy guy who doesn't listen to anyone else." Phone numbers are a static thing. They don't change all that often (if ever). And does it really hurt to try a phone number? If it is Disney (which it will be 99.99% of the time), voice your comments.... if it isn't..... say "sorry, wrong phone number" and hang up. Difficult?
