This is how they have been since they were turned on. Saying "already" implies they've worn out in some way when they haven't. They may continue to adjust things, but I think the thought process here is that, unlike with the leaping fountains at Imagination, you're supposed to get wet on certain paths in JoW; consequently, it doesn't really matter if weather or some other factor causes a stream of water to go a bit off course.
Ha ha ha but obviously they do care about guest satisfaction because it makes them money.
That's fine. After all, it's just a splash pad.
I understand that but when you have several jumping fountains in one section and all clearly make it across while one isn’t even close and smacks into the pathway wall you can tell that isn’t by design
They are teaching us a lesson? Even the journey of water takes a wrong turn?

The have PPRs so they can save costs on staffing. They make money with G+ and ILL, but do they care about guest satisfaction? I don't think so.
I assume they are waiting until the central core is complete (enough) that it will also be open. This gives them an opportunity to do a splashy ribbon-cutting ceremony for marketing, but more importantly it moves the main guest flow in/out of the park away from the entrance to the new low-capacity walk-through attraction. Instead of being on a main thoroughfare and luring in uninformed passersby, it will be at a sleepy dead-end where it's really only going to be accessed by people who are specifically seeking it out.
It's not a failure, it's a feature implemented by marketing! The attraction wasn't getting guests soaked enough. They'll now set-up a stand at the entrance of the attraction which sells umbrellas and rain ponchos and another stand at the end of the attraction that sells dry clothes (maybe set up a few of those Haystack Dryers for a nice upcharge).
It will *have* to have a hard cap.
The last sections are where there is the main splash pad area and multiple effect areas ... BUT i agree there isn't any like "send off" - when you decide to leave that last area you do just kinda walk out. Some sort of goodbye effect or something would be nice
I'm quite happy with almost everything they are doing with this attraction and the spine, with one exception: The deletion of The Fountain of Nations - or not putting an equivalent in its spot.
Ah, the good old days. Could you imagine the show they could have done with SSE with its points of light along with the fountain of nations.
