More Tree Issues?

OTPN posted this on Friday, looks like this branch on the Swiss Family Treehouse could use some attention before it breaks and falls like the Tree of Life:

Yikes, that looks rough.

EEK! Hopefully the crack is just an appearance issue on the exterior and that the interior support structure is still intact.

 

[Can we go yet?]

:O That look's awful!

I f anyone is going to the magic kingdom please report this so Disney doesn't get sued and we won't get nets

Looks cosmetic. Wood and steel will settle and contracts and expands with heat and cold. I know its an older structure, but I would only be real concerned if it was an area supporting walkways and looked flexed or bent.

Since when should it be the guests responsibility to prevent Disney from getting sued due to lack of maint. and safety checks on Disneys part? If you are so passionate about this then copy and paste the pics in an email and contact Disney yourself. Not trying to be a jerk but what you are asking is for someone who should be having fun and "escaping" from reality to be the safety police for a multi-billion dollar corporation for the sake of you not wanting nets and protecting Disney from not getting sued?

Are you a fanboi? Did I just ask that? Sad....

Nets!

There are others parts of the treehouse under refurbishment now, so hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Do you think its time for the Swiss Family to exit? Its a good piece of land they could use for something else. What about Jungle Cruise? While I love it, it takes up a BIG area that would house multiple attractions and be cleaner for the environment. I thought the boats used fuel?

The tree could do with a new coat of paint too, if you ask me. I've never seen a tree that pale before...

No. No no no no no no no no. And lets save the we-love-the-earth stuff for AK and the Land.

Did I come off as a little overly passionate? What can I say. I'd hate to see great theming and my childhood memories ripped out of there. lol But I might be able to sacrifice all of that for a Forbidden-Journey quality Aladin ride. xD

Double carpet spinners with a playground? Like Dumbo?

Allright!

Yes. But not because the boats use fuel. Rather because this makes perfect sense. That whole sector of the park could use a reimagining.

The Jungle Cruise should be at DAK.

An authentic and accurate Disney response.

Didn't years ago they had torches in Adventureland? that are now dark?

I noticed this in Feb and pointed it out to our group...I thought it looked pretty cosmetic in my non-professionally informed opinion. There are a few branches with cracks. I would be concerned with water being able to reach the structural steel though if it is cracked.
