No, it's not a fact, it is like practically everything else on the boards a broad fabrication based on possibilities. Whatever the reason, it isn't working and it is being blamed, again, on on-going problems that have no basis of fact either. It might be, or it might be rain or it might be a new problem or it might be almost anything, but, it is no more fact to assume it is an on-going technological problem then any other type. If it is, then they have stopped the ride and not allowed people to ride it when not working properly. Wouldn't that be considered "good" show?
If you are referring to the idea that this is a prime example of someone complaining that it is not working properly and every one taking a turn at deciding that it isn't reasonable to decide not to run a ride for multiple different reason and not all bad. Well, that does appear to be fact.
Thanks! And it is correct. In this case I use the word "everyone" so as not to name individuals that are completely concerned about that aspect. It is an exaggeration, but, no more so then most of the things you read here. I see no need, like others do, to point fingers and run my discussion in a completely different direction. They know who they are and they are likely to be the first to question my motives. Yes, there is a reason why I go that way and it is because there are so many conflicting opinions that come from the same individuals. What those people want is for nothing to break down. Although I do see and understand that it is the desirable way to wish, it is in a world of mechanical things that break down no matter what we/they do or how much we wish it wouldn't. Don't get me wrong, I completely respect Martin and all the efforts that he has put into his video's and study of all thing Disney, however, on occasion we disagree on things. Not what and how WDW was formed, but, what should be logically expected from an extremely busy, almost constantly running Theme Park.
I was around in the early 80's and have been a consistent visitor for 32 years, 44 trips, I have seen the changes, I have seen the bad, but, I also have been able to see the good. I have been able to reason things out when others seem to be running on nothing but emotion. Good to have, but, in the long run not real productive. A lot of those years that all those people talk about as being the golden age of WDW have had a lot of instances of less then stellar conditions and attractions with problems. Many people don't want to accept that or understand why changes have to happen, some good, some bad, but, there is always a reason for that change and it is not always poor management. Some is, some are just reasons that we have not been made privy too.
