New safety spiels in "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh"

[disneyphilip]

In addition to the station gates, new walls and railings, repainting, repairs, etc., The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh has received new bilingual safety spiels. The English spiels are done by Tigger while the Spanish spiels are done by a little boy. Here’s how the new spiels go:

“Hallooooooo, out there! It’s me, Tigger: T-I-double-guh-er. And being safe is what Tiggers like best, so please stay in your seats with your hands, arms, feets and legs inside. And grown-up types, please watch your little kids. Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! T.T.F.N.! Ta-ta for now! (Spanish safety spiel follows.)

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! It’s me: Tigger! And being safe is what Tiggers like best, so please stay seated with your hands, arms, feets and legs inside. And grown-ups, please watch your adora-ba-ble children. Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! T.T.F.N.! Ta-ta for now! (Spanish safety spiel follows.)

The old "Step out to your left" spiels are gone.

Could you tell if they used Tigger's Spanish voice for the spiel?

I heard from a friend that was there a while back that some little girl tried to climb out of the ride while it was moving and got her leg stuck in the moving part of the track.

She ended up having to have it amputated.

Hence all the new safety spiels and gates.

Please...everybody...watch your kids closely...it only takes a few seconds for kids to get into trouble. Hold their little hands and stay close to them at all times. One fleeting moment of not paying attention could turn your dream vacation into a nightmare.

This sounds like the just copied the speil from TMAWP here in DL and put it over there.....I am so sorry, it gets really annoying. But then again you guys dont have to stand in the sun and listen to it over and over again. Also does WDW do the same thing that DL/DCA does where if you want to know of any thing that has happened on that ride you can go to City Hall and get a full run down. This includes any deaths or things like that, they started it a few months ago but I am not sure if it is just CalOSHA rules or all theme parks have to do it.

I would be interested in finding this information out. You always hear rumors about rides, but it would be nice to know the truth. Then again no one ever dies on disney property, they're always declaired off site.

I went on Winnie the Pooh the day it came back from rehab. I don't know if it was just me or not but did anyone else notice that the audio was incredibly low. It sounded like the animatronics were whispering and the ride mechanics could be heard more than the audio.

 

[DisneyJill]

I thought I heard once that Florida state law doesn't require theme parks to report accidents/deaths. Is this true?

 

[Jerm]

That is a lie people are declaired on site at times but that is far and few between. Also if you are looking for a good sources for some info on ride stuff and other jsut funny crap check out Mouse Tails and More Mouse Tails by David Konning, really great books about DL and I have heard he is doing one for WDW right now!!!!

That's nice to know the rehab is over, and the new spiel sounds pretty sweet! btw that's pretty interesting what they do at DL, where you can get reports about accidents on rides, etc. Hope that comes to WDW.

As I said above, Tigger does not do the Spanish spiels, only the English, while the Spanish spiels are done by a little boy.

Here is an artice about the "Declared Dead" thing... Not sure if anyone has been declared dead yet...

Anyways, I can't wait to get the book, if it comes out for WDW...

There are several websites that contain every single reported amusement park attraction accident. Do a google search and you'll find exactly what you're looking for.

WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, I loved this, it was like a tradition of mine to say it after every Fantasyland ride. I even had it in my signature

 

[tdsryan]

I agree, jwbeck3. The old spiel was one of the last remnants of Toad at that location. I forget if that spiel is used at any other Fantasyland attraction.

It can still be heard at the end of Snow White's Scary Adventures.

This is where you can find out about accidents on rides. I know there are other sites but this is the one I've checked before.

www.themeparkinsider.com says that Florida theme parks are not legally required to report accidents involving injury to anyone. I don't remember who said I was wrong earlier, but I thought that was the case. Kinda scary though.

BTW- I can confirm that... I just got an e-mail back from him (through MousePlanet.com)

Thanks for the note, Gregory.
Yes, the rumor is true. Hope to have it completed by late next year.
Richest blessings,
David
