One of my big pet peeves. First off the lack of consideration by those who do it and second...really Disney? You have to do a walk through pre-opening and post closing every night and you can't just clean this up? They won't sell gum in the parks because they will have to clean it up but this goes unchecked? SOme say it is harmless fun but to me it is just kind of filthy.

I agree with you, but will add, it's only harmless until something happens.

Disney can't be that bothered about how it looks or how hard it is to clean up once every couple of days or there could surely be cameras installed and warn people when they board that if they throw ANYTHING ANYWHERE they get thrown out for the day?
This obviously goes for all attractions where guests may be tempted to throw random objects onto attractions for a 5 second giggle?

I assume they are relaxed as it causes no safety issue.

I think anyone that purposely litters like this on a ride is a selfish moron. I hope none of our forum members participate in this stupid activity. If you do you should be ashamed of yourselves. It should not be tolerated and Disney should clean it up and put a stop to it. I will call out anyone I see doing this on any ride.

It's been like this for a few years now. Disney doesn't care enough about making sure you get the experience you paid for to send someone up there with a broom after hours to clean them up.

It's just a carryover from the carnival games in Dinoland. If you get your hair band around the Yeti's first finger, you win a plush yeti. If you get it around the Yeti's lower fang, you win the Yeti himself.

This is wild speculation on my part, but aren't the pathways immediately adjacent to roller coasters usually under extremely tight controls? ie. even if Disney wanted to send the broom guy in it would take a small mountain of paper work to okay his going up there?

Not really. For example, the Everest operations CM's walk the entire track every day before opening and after closing. If its someone who is from another line of business and not trained at that attraction, they have to be escorted by someone who is. It's something that could easily be done third shift. It would be similar procedures to what landscapers tending to the foliage around Everest would follow.

How about we have teenager loudly scream and cry as she's getting off that she accidentally dropped her gold Go-ody hairband at the top, and she has to get it back before returning home as it was a family heirloom (for the past week) or daddy will take her mercedes away? You think that might prompt them to clean up the track? What if it was a whole group of cheerleaders? ;)

There has to be something that will work.

When you get to the top of Expedition Everest where the track is broken, there are scattered hair bands to your left and right. I would like to know if there is some meaning to this or just some weird tradition.
Thanks

My guess? One day, someone's hair band snapped off and landed there. A while later, someone else's did too. Then people with hairbands kept saying "Hey look, some people threw their hairbands off! Let's do it too!" and then the tradition began.

Maintenance staff has to do walkthroughs before opening...really no excuse for this IMO. Gross and inconsiderate but still and all should really be taken care of by cast members instead of ignoring the filth. Sorry, I know some look at it as harmless fun but I find it ruins that part of the attraction for me.

Like the bras on the sides of ski lifts.
