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

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

DizWhizKid said: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?
MagliteL13 said: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.
DizWhizKid said: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.

CatLady said: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.
