due to flooding of the boats. Poor design, flimsy boat poor show fat people just run the adwords on it and pull out what you want

I really don't get the insistence of some people to use flash photography in dark rides....unless you've got a hotshoe flash like a speed light/lite mounted on a DSLR, where you can control both the intensity of the flash and the angle - you're going to get a crappy, artificial image where the scene as intended isn't represented on the photo. Practically every dark ride in WDW is discretely lit to show things intended to be seen and discretely left dark to hide things you shouldn't see. When you use a flash, you pretty much blow away the discrete lighting and capture the scene with all of the exposed underbellies of the dark ride. The correct way to shoot a dark ride is without a flash, using a fast lens and a camera capable of handling high ISO. This way you get what you're seeing with your eyes. Otherwise, it just looks awful. I've never seen a flash picture in a dark ride worthy of anything.

You'd think this would be enough of a deterrent to people - once they see their pictures, they'd stop doing it. I guess some people don't know any better....

That would work for people that have been there before and have had that experience and that know something about camera's. For the vast majority, they have no idea how it will turn out until after it is done. It took me one nighttime parade to realize that I could get much better shots without a flash then with one.

The one that common sense should tell everyone is taking flash pictures of the Fireworks show. What in the world good would a flash be in the vastness of the sky?

I really think that the problem here is that most people have no idea how to turn their flash off.
