Meant to post this last night, but ALL track segments on Slinky Dog Dash now light up, with the lighting package that the ride originally opened with. While the package was never turned off, the majority of the LEDs were broken, with only about one in five segments in working order. Apologies for the poor picture quality.

Lol, they finally changed the lightbulbs?

That's really underwhelming from the company that brought us this...
When it's fully functional, it is actually one of the most impressive roller coaster lighting packages out there.

Now if they can just replace the bulbs on the roller coaster scene on iasw…

Glad I'm not the only one. All I see when I'm on the property are all the scratches, stains, rust, chipped paint, and dead bulbs.

That needs more than new bulbs. Not an excuse, though.

Yes, we were there the last three years 20-22…the leprechauns had several AA’s that weren’t working, two of the ceiling moving AA mobiles were idle and half of the lights on that roller coaster scene were out…I’m sure in addition to bulbs, a relay or two are out too since they blink in a series (succession). You would’ve thought in 3 consecutive years, those problems would’ve been addressed, but NOPE.
I specifically watched those areas to see if they were repaired
. I had pictures on here two years ago, that the outside top of the boats were FILTHY (I actually wrote my initials in the dirt, and the overpass you go under just past the different language goodbyes was filled with black mold (due to the humidity and constant dampness)…again, never addressed in those 3 consecutive yearly visits. I don’t blame the CMs, that’s all supervisory’s problem.

They actually do try to repair everything meant to move there. But there’s not enough staff or time. And that’s with Splash closed. I presume it will worsen once TBA opens. Animatronics break a lot on water rides.Yes, we were there the last three years 20-22…the leprechauns had several AA’s that weren’t working, two of the ceiling moving AA mobiles were idle and half of the lights on that roller coaster scene were out…I’m sure in addition to bulbs, a relay or two are out too since they blink in a series (succession).

The good news is that TBA shouldn’t have much of an impact because they are completely separate maintenance departments with separate staff.

I just find it unusual that the SAME AA’s (Leprechauns) which are the FURTHEST away from the water weren’t working…the SAME 3…hmmmm

That’s good at least.

What exactly were you looking for them to do? One of the leprechauns rises up and down in the pot of gold but the rest of the leprechauns are static figures that are not supposed to move.I just find it unusual that the SAME AA’s (Leprechauns) which are the FURTHEST away from the water weren’t working…the SAME 3…hmmmm

Maybe they’re stationary now, but there were 3 that used to work.

I never remember more than 1 moving. Have they been broken since the early ‘90s?

Do you have videos to show that?
Because I’m fairly certain all but one have been static figures with no functions for the past 30 years at least.

Nope, I’ve been going since ‘93…I know there were more than one animated…I don’t think there’s any national group that only has 1 moving AA

It’s not only one moving for the nation. Just only one of the leprechauns moving.
I’ve been going since the mid 80’s and don’t recall more than one leprechaun moving. Every video I find shows the leprechaun’s being static figures. Including those at Disneyland.
