Really wow.

Not gonna lie... that is pretty cool.

No doubt. I would give my eyeteeth to be able to drive one of the speedway cars through that.

 

[NYwdwfan]

Really wow.

Holy cow that's from a storm? Do they take the cars off the track and put into a raised garage? Can a lawnmower be submerged in water?

Until the engines don't compress the water. lol

They can, but you typically just can't start them back up after that happens. At minimum you have to clean the fuel system out and let the electronics dry. You also have to make sure that the cylinder is not full of water and an oil change is in order.

Until the engines don't compress the water. lol

But what a ride until that happens.

So...that Flash Flood effect on Big Thunder Mt is working again?

I vote to plug the drains and put jet skis in!

I think it would be more productive to drive a 20,000 Leagues sub through that.

Been there, done that, Superstorm Sandy:

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Really wow.

Is this why the Motorboat Cruise is listed as a seasonal attraction?

View attachment 40839 Just checking out Magic Kingdom, and this is currently the situation unfolding as of 1:33pm

I do have a recorded video showing how far the river goes, but connection isn't the best.

Great catch! Thanks for posting. I've seen flooding but never pipe bursting or the likes. FYI, wifi generally better at the resorts maybe you'll have better luck later. I'd love to see the video.

 

[Foolish Mortal]

Really wow.

Nah, that's a Holy S... !!!

 

[Foolish Mortal]

Never drive thru standing water !

 

[Andyjshort]

Never drive thru standing water !

If that was true Orlando would be a car park every afternoon.

I found a behind the scenes photoslop of that:

I am headed to MK right now. I'll try to check it out.

That picture after the storm reminded me of the time I was there, we stayed for Wishes and it started pouring during the middle of it and didn't let up. Once it did we started working our way out to the bus "docks". The water through the entire loading area was up past our shins. It was crazy.

 

[PhilharMagician]

Wow, there is a lot of mud and stone washing down the walkway. Looks like the water was running down the FP queue line. I hope it was wearing it's magic band!

 

[Jakester]

I am headed to MK right now. I'll try to check it out.

It would be awesome to get an update on what it currently looks like, I didn't stay for long at MK, quite busy today.
