Just Got back yesterday..some observations

[doombuggie]

All of the anamatronics were working on Splash Mountain!

Spectromagic the right side of the float that says "walt disney world presents.." was not working and got stuck with just the S of spectromagic.

also in spectro...the big monster from fantasia was completly missing from the parade.

-Wishes was fantastic!! as was Philharmagic!!

-Space MOuntain was darker than I ever rememebr I was in the front and could not see a thing!

-Chew gum on Mission space itreally helps the nausea.

-The dragon was not working in Fantasmic

-20000 leagues was completely drained with the botom ripped up.


thats all I can think of if you have any questions I forgot let me know. I am very observant and p[retty much notice everything so I will probably know the answer!! another awesome trip!!

ALso on Splash the jumping fountains were not working.....and the "floating" turtle who is supposed to be on a stream of water was not working so he was bouncing up and down on a pole. :-(......but the hedgehog still screams FSU!!

My mother needed a wheelchair(bad knees) so we did......jungle cruise, pirates, splash, thunder, CBJ, HoP, HM, Peter Pan, Philharmagic, snow white, space mountain, timekeeper, CoP, and buzz.....all in 5 hours!!!

Thanks for the updates!!

Space Mountain has gotten darker, or thats just what you observed.

I hope so, its my fav. ride in all of WDW, M:S a close second, and would be even better if it were darker, seeing how much we know the ride.

It was good to see the hopping Brer Rabbit working again this weekend...now to get the fountains fixed.

 

[shopgirl146]

How were the crowds and what were the average wait times?

Thanks and I hope you had fun!

 

[LudwigVonDrake]

I'm leaving in a couple of days for WDW. I was curious, how were the crowds??


Next WDW trip: July 9 - July 16 Pop Century :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:

 

[speck76]

On 7/4 the crowds were very heavy, on other days, the parks have been busy, but not PACKED.

Thanks for the updates! Maybe Space seemed darker because you said your mother was in a wheelchair, which means you were able to bypass the standby line. Therefore you were not waiting in the dark cooridor very long and your eyes didn't have time to fully adjust to the darkness. Just a theory .

This is the second update where all the Splash AA's were working. This makes me so happy :sohappy:!

 

[Brewski]

everytime i have been on SM evrything has worked, the turtle the fountains everything

 

[RnRJoe6114]

if you haven't been to pop century yet LUDWIG be prepared bcause that it is somewhat newer it may be a little packed in the hotels pools and other places like the food court or store but im not sure if it will be though

and don't forget that it is summer so the parks will most likely be packed(busiest time: summer)

has anyone noticed I was just there and I noticed that on splash mountain there was a part were on the right side of the log there was a waterfall that sometimes you would stop next to and get wet but when i went this past weekend there was no waterfall..just wondering if anyone noticed

 

[doombuggie]

yeah that waterfall was not working...the extra "explosion" splash that gets bystanders WAS working.

No I noticed the ride was dark when we went on TTA earlier...it deifinatly was dark

 

[speck76]

The waterfall was off Saturday and Sunday that I noticed.

 

[bgraham34]

Wow thanks for the info. Its interesting hear people nitpick about stuff. I love it.

 

[Jerm]

but the hedgehog still screams FSU!!

Weasel!!!!!! Weasel!!!! As in Pop goes the......

Also If you have not been on Space since they took out the screens in the queue that is why it is darker. When they took the "roof" off the queue and had the screens up the light would bleed into the attraction. With the screens gone it is darker, still not as dark as back in the day but still better then a few years ago.

[yensidtlaw1969]

Got pics of 20K?

 

[doombuggie]

Ok sorry!! its a weasel hehe. And I dont ever rememebr there being a "roof" on the queue.....the screens yes but never a roof! Also the darkness I am referring to included the small "disco ball" specs on the track. I mean I could not see the track one bit and you usually can always see the track in front of you...it was totall darkness.

I am going with the wheelchair theory. That is what I tell the guest when they get off and ask that very question...but I ask if they had a fastpass or not...every time they say yes.
