All it takes is a broken part they don’t have in their stock and having to wait for a shipment from the mfr

Don't even try... everyone is so convinced the Pixie Dust is real that they expect that nothing might have a breakdown that can't be fixed by snapping ones fingers and asking for magic.

No baby yetis?!?!

I never had the opportunity to ask Rhode if it was a boy yeti or a girl yeti…let’s fix the arm first THEN we can work on “internals”…

I guess everyone that wants to ride it is just gonna have to... HANG ON!

Based on the fact that it seems to always be angry my guess would be _______________________!

Fill in the blank on your own, I'm not going to venture a guess.

I will believe when I see it.

If I live that long.

As of 6pm, Slinky is down. The park looks pretty empty. MMRR- 15, Rise-15, TSM-20, ToT-13, only RNRC is 45.

Rain really dampened (no pun intended) things at most of the parks today. Back to back on Tower in 30 minutes. And then more rain. TSM was 20 listed and about 12 actual.

Air Conditioning failure.

I've been kicking around the idea of automatically generating emails that ask for compensation once park downtime gets above some ridiculous threshold. We'd email it to you, you'd email it to the parks.

For example, 20% of IOA's ride capacity was lost due to downtime on Monday. For comparison:

• USF was 8%
• Epic was 14%
• DHS was 17% (includes Slinky)
• MK was 6%
• EP was 5%
• AK was 4%

So it was not obviously weather-related.

Average daily downtime for the WDW parks is around 4% with standard deviation < 4.

Downtime averages 5-6% at USF and IOA, and 9% at Epic, with standard deviation between 4 and 6.

For IOA specifically the mean is 6.2 with stdev 5.8. So one standard deviation is 12% and two standard deviations is 17.8%. A day with 20% downtime at IOA is rare enough that it only happens a few times per year.

I’d be owed a lot of money from my last two visits to Epic lol.
