I went to Magic Kingdom yesterday and either Splash mountain was broken, closed or stalling on the ride. Is the ride not done or they just dont make things the way they used to.
Looks like Brer Fox and Brer Bear are causing some kind of commotion downstream...
(Great pic by the way SMRT-1)
I know all rides go on a crowded day but it seemed worse than any other ride.

I love that line!
My understanding, based on comments surrounding the future installation of lapbars, is that guests standing/climbing out of boats is the cause of much of Splash's downtime.
Hey some college kids in the boat behind me last visit took off their shirts and they had to use the PA to yell at them to put them back on. It really ruined the experience, not for me, but for some others in the boat with me.Oh man, I hate when that happens. It really harms the experience since whenever both of them are causing a commotion you will be stuck on a lot of scenes during the ride.
Never doubt the stupidity of the average human. One has to look no further than youtube to see how incredibly stupid people can be.:lol:It amazes me that people would even be that stupid to think about doing that...but alas...:brick:

I'm not very surprised, I assume that you "yelled" at the mothers?Never doubt the stupidity of the average human. One has to look no further than youtube to see how incredibly stupid people can be.
Speaking of stupidity: my CP was at The Barnstormer and more than twice during my two-month program I witnessed some mothers lifting their kids over the fence that is close to the coaster track as you arrive at the loading platform in order to let their kids play in the sand!!
Yes, they willingly placed their kids pratically in front of an incoming coaster train.
Given the amount of people who ride that attraction every day, and the hours a day that attraction operates, breakdowns can be expected. That attraction moves tons of people every day, all day. I wouldn't worry.I went to Magic Kingdom yesterday and either Splash mountain was broken, closed or stalling on the ride. Is the ride not done or they just dont make things the way they used to.
Doesn't even have to be the Guests *on* the ride misbehaving to shut the ride system down... Take this example from Universal....
