News Incident at Spaceship Earth today (3/16/19)

[DreamfinderGuy]

So, today as I was riding Spaceship Earth, it became apparent that almost every AA figure was dead. This included key figures such as the Greek scholar and Phoenicians, all the way down to minor ones like Steve Jobs. As if this wasn’t bad enough, I got the wrong people on my touchscreen ending. Is this a maintenance issue or did someone forget to turn on the animation? Either way, poor show.

Did you tell any CM? We had a ride on SM a few years ago that was sub-optimal due to ALL the AA's being inactive (read "slumped over like they were dead"). Since it was early in the day, when we told the CMs, they said something like we were the first to tell them this and that someone must have forgotten to turn on the various circuits powering the AAs.

This. I was the first to ride RnRC one morning and the onboard audio wasn't turned on yet. When we pointed it out they let us ride again without getting back in line.

Judging by his time stamps, he was def not first on.

Maybe the AA's have finally heard about what happened to Ellen's Energy Adventure, and are striking in sympathy...

They reopened SSE a couple hours ago. But, standing in queue, they aren’t letting anyone on.
EDIT: MDE lists the ride as “temporarily closed” CMs/leads haven’t spoken to guests yet.

I forgot when I got on Spaceship Earth, but I was at a Wawa during rope drop, and rode Figment before I got on. I live tweeted that, so take it as you will.

Are all the AA's tied to the same power system? Sounds like a breaker or two was tripped.

 

[Dragonman]

Sounds like window girl got her revenge for being sealed in her space station for 25 years and decided to mess the ride up

 

[lazyboy97o]

Is bad show really an “incident”?

 

[EvilChameleon]

Friend, I hate to tell you this, but every AA across every park is dead. They aren't real people. They aren't alive.

It’s most likely a hydraulic pump issue

Makes sense to me, after all Jim I'm a doctor, not an engineer!

Isn’t this the samd nitpicky-ness that contributed to the locking of the Buzzy thread?

I wouldn't know, I stopped reading that thread after Buzzy was mysteriously "found".

Careful with your quotes, Disney doesn't have the rights to Star Trek yet.

I won't believe they have rights to Star Trek until they build a giant cube shaped building on the scale of a borg spaceship.

oh wait

On all attractions there’s is a button in the control center of the attraction that is called “Show Stop”. During any downtime you are suppose to engage the show stop button so that cast members (or guests during guest during a evac) can access points of the attraction without being in danger of an animatronic hitting you. Sometimes either the cast member doesn’t disengage the button or even if they do the hydraulic fluid doesn’t flow back in to make the figures move again, When this happens someone has to notice and it may require another ride stop for engineering to go back in.

Wait, he was found?

I stopped checking the thread a long whil ago because it was annoying and there was literally no news on it anyway, so I don’t know what else happened since
