Who knew, but apparently Magic Kingdom reopened today at 12:25 EST. Anyone know how long it was closed?

Actually, there was a park-wide power outage for about 10 minutes today at MK (and a little at Epcot). That caused all (I believe) of the rides at the MK to go down for a while.

What a mess. I am sure that is the last thing they want to happen when they are at capacity.DizWhizKid said:

It was not attendance-related; power outages shut down most attractions. My (steam) train was stuck on the backside of the park with a train full of guests when we got stopped due to the block lights being out and a train still sitting at the ToonTown station. We were listening to the Nextel radio and we heard "Tomorrowland is 101", "Adventureland is 101", and not just individual attractions.

Some other CMs and I were wondering if Jungle Cruise could still run without electricity, since it is a motor-powered vehcile. But wouldn't the animatronics not be running?

Believe it or not, there's really only four show scenes where you really notice animation anyways. I'd assume the animation wasn't working, but that's never stopped us before......
Yesterday, our dancing natives were playing a game of freeze tag till park close.

Yeah, I noticed the same problem last Tuesday (12/20) around 11 am. It really stuck out to me, but then again, I've been on the ride probably twenty times this year, so I'm not the standard audience. No one else in the boat seemed to notice it, and the CM did a good job playing along with it. :hammer:
Of course, it seems really weird to me, seeing that at Spaceship Earth, if we lose one animatronic, we're supposed to go 101. Of course, Maintenance never likes when we do that... :brick: I guess it makes sense though, since that's the main part of the ride.
Were there any other rides that could operate without electricity? We were thinking maybe Speedway.

Energy can brown-out, since it has it's own power supply, and the track itself at TT can/has kept going through a blackout.

The steam trains, unless we lose our block light system. Yesterday, it was only out for about a minute or so, so we kept on tr__________'...LOL

Don't drivers have to get green lights to go into the next area on AK, similarly to the way that the trains have to get clearance lights? Also, don't they have the automatic load gates at safari (it has been a while since I rode)? I thought the automatic doors were electric.

The TT thing seems very unsafe. Aren't all the E-stops powered by electricity?
