News "it's a small world" Holiday Will Not Open on Schedule Due to Incident

[DavidDL]

I know the situation is fluid with the ongoing repair. I did notice yesterday they had hours of operations for tomorrow but now that has been removed and the next hours of operation are posted for Monday the 22nd.

I see what you did there.

UPDATE: So the hours were rescheduled to the 22nd which at this point may actually be the accurate reopening date. It appears that fixing the mechanical equipment is well under way. Just yesterday the "tick-tock" sound and clock parade music were turned on again. Looks like we may see the ride a lot sooner than we expected.

Sam, the CM from the Katiebug post?

Dammit Disney. That’s a long time for that people eater to be down especially with Toontown going down too.

Here is an exclusive first look at the Disneyland map for 2022. Don't bother asking who my source is, I'm no snitch.

Conspiracy Theory Part 2: Whatever they re planning on replacing Roger with needed some more room so they staged this IASW flooding. Whatever is going into IASW/ Roger is going to be massive.

Mickey and the Magical Map probably isn't coming back either.

It'll be a clone of the Tron rollercoaster.

I would ride a small-world-themed clone of tron.

This is... not great.

If true, I wonder how long Disney intends to keep the charade going. Scum that they are, they are probably well aware that this may cause some to cancel their visit, especially if Small World Holiday was a primary reason for coming to Disneyland. I realize it's not necessarily a large #, but it's also most definitely not Zero either. My guess is they will wait as long as possible before making the official announcement. And they'll claim they did everything they could to fix the problem, even though it sounds like they know the problem is unfixable in the short to medium term.

Ultimately, it will be the paying guest that suffers. Not only won't they get this ride that's insanely popular for a 2 month period, all of those people who ordinarily would wait in line or be on the ride, will now be spread throughout the rest of park. Creating the effect of more crowding overall. It would be no different than if HMH had to close for an 8 week period. Like HMH, Small World Holiday is a people eater.

But does that mean that the holiday overlay won't be happening at all? We're actually thinking of going on January 9th for the 35th anniversary of Star Tours, which is also the final day of the holiday event, and we will be pretty bummed if Small World is not open then.

Who knows, a bunch of electronics got toasted and need to be replaced.

So they need to figure out what needs to be replaced, what can get repaired, then find the parts that need to be replaced. Get them shipped from wherever, get them installed, tested, etc.

Aka, nobody knows when it will be ready to run for the public. But they are doing the best they can, and corporate has been supportive.

Sounds like they really want to avoid losing toontown before they can get small world fixed, which is good to hear.

I don't mean to be pedantic (I genuinely just want to know which one you mean), but supported or supportive?

Jock Straps and Bras have been issued to the CM's working the job, and cute iaswh designs.....

This whole situation made me remember this ridiculous video of a handful of rowdy teenagers vandalizing the attraction in the mid 90s. At the timestamp 3:27 they’re flooding the attraction…
