I never said it was perfect. It does need maintenance even if nothing ever broke. It is long overdue. I just, personally, get tired of constantly hearing things like it's a mess, or the monorails are disgusting or some other thing is almost ready to junk, when most of that opinion comes from that moment in time that I mentioned. The Monorails are smelly. Funny, you know that one of the first things I noticed on the Monorails back in 1983 was that particular odor that they had. You know what, when I get on them like I did this year, that same odor hits my senses and flashes me back to then. What people are describing as "awful" are their scent. Something inherent to the rails. When they find some garbage on the trains, it's Disney doesn't do a good job. The consideration that the group that got off the train as they were getting on might have left whatever they see. No, it's Disney has failed when the chances are it is the Guest that has failed and created the problem that is now blamed on Disney. That's just one example, there are many.
In some cases they are correct. PoTC is pushing 40 years old and it has been running almost constantly for all those years. It needs to have stuff replaced that has worn out with time an usage. It has nothing to do with the neglect unless you consider the uproar that happens on this very board when it gets closed for repair. You'd think someone had just had a kid taken away or something. There was a post earlier about how upset people, the same people that complain about the condition of things, are because of the construction going on. Yet, Disney isn't doing anything. There is a major conflict involved with all of that. It just gets tedious, is all!
