Looks like they are ready to ride splash and pirates

When I said bring back 20,000 Leagues this is not what I had in mind.

How long before the first lawsuit comes from being traumatized

I'm a bit traumatized thinking about if this happened to me, walking around the MK the rest of the day in wet, squishy shoes

Weird, turns out if your standards of upkeep drop and you run things for 365 24/7 you would not expect this stuff to happen.

Goodness now I have partial hippos swimming around in my thoughts.....

I can't believe guests were allowed to stand on the outside edges of the boat. I realize the skipper can only do so much, but allowing guests to stand on the edges of the boat seems like an accident waiting to happen.

Yes, please remain seated as the water fills the boat. I’m pretty sure the remain in your seats went out of play when the boat started to sink

I know maintenance was supposed to get cut under Chappie but this was fast.

That was after it began “sinking” though. Seems fair enough to try and keep dry.

Pretty sure the accident already happened.

...until they slip and fall from the edge of the boat and break their neck? Being wet doesn't seem quite as bad.

LEGENDS say this has happened before, in the times before cell phone camera

That’s what I said.

 

[Disneyson]

I wonder if compensation will be reasonable.

 

[yeti]

I think it's a metaphor.

So I know when a boat breaks down they have another come and act as a tow, but how do you suppose they evacuate the ride with a situation like this?

 

[cbusdisneyguy]

That’s what I said.

Sorry was totally agreeing with you!

You say that as if this hasn’t happened multiple times before over the decades.

The rails in the photo look really narrow. Once it loses buoyancy, if people crowded on one side could the boat roll over or slide off the rails and literally sink?

Pull an empty service boat alongside and remove the guests a few at a time
