So... a Splash Mountain log sank..

[celluloid]

Shots fired by Universal:

Disney feels the need to pander as a woke crowd to bring in sellable characters to splash.

Meanwhile,
Universal has a log flume mocking Canada melodrama and is going to build an entire land based around a stereotypical Italian Plumber.

This maybe Splash Mountain's way of showing its disdain towards the thought of being turned into The Princess and the Frog ride.

Disney probably just is thinking that the cost to restore Splash Mountain could be enough they should just retheme. Who knows. I think Tokyo is one of the few that really kept up with the ride quality.

Or maybe it’s just saying kill me already because it’s been doing terrible amounts of downtime since it reopened.

How did they get out of the boat with the lap bar restraint

It's not that hard to get out of it....

Just saying if several guests weighing 270 lbs average get in a SM boat, you do not think the boat will take on water?

Except, they’re not allowing several guests in a boat these days, overweight or not, and it sure wasn’t happening often when they did.

Gotta love the advent of phone cameras and social media. These things probably happened more than you thought pre-iphones.

Yeah pretty much. If anyone has read the Mouse Tales series of books they would not be surprised to see this happen from time to time.

Dispite Disney's magical aura these are just machines that are subject to tons of use every day and likely to break unexpectedly like any machine.

Signs say you “May” get wet. They didn’t say anything about taking me snorkeling

Change the name to "SCUBA Mountain."

Finally they're bringing back 20,000 leagues under the sea!

Splash Mountain didn't paralyze someone, injure ride testers or have linked 115 other people injured on the ride since 2017. https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/r...-bay-injured-on-same-slide-that-paralyzed-man

With visitors passing through four flames into a catch pool, I'm surprised nobody's reported being burned yet.

True, water rides will sink from time to time. Maybe a roller coaster will fly off the rails occasionally.

People's expectations are completely ridiculous these days.

Further evidence that the Disney suits are using Roller Coaster Tycoon -- WDW Edition to manage the parks.

The ride is revolting against the proposed retheme.

Sinking logs are a $59.99 up charge---- who says Disney isn't upgrading their rides

How do you snap your neck and ONLY sue for $15k?

How do you snap your neck and ONLY sue for $15k?

It states more than $15K. Perhaps add a few zeroes to the lawsuit.

Universal water parks are light years ahead of WDW water parks in the thrill factor. With the 150lb weight limit at one UO water park ride, there must be some disappointed guests that don't qualify.
