doesn’t really take away from the ride either way

Of course it does.

Neither does the broken Yeti, apparently.

I know you are ok with declining maintenance standards but a good chunk of us aren't

So the doors being broken for several years on TT are suddenly a new problem

Maybe it's not new but it's a problem. The Yeti has been broken even longer than that, Nearly two decades. Are we just supposed to accept mediocrity from Disney?

Of course, you negative hater!

Based on videos it seems broken doors did not detract from last indoor scene of 2.0 as much as they do from 3.0.

Are there videos with them working?

It's a pity the late Al Lutzs' Defenders of Mediocrity logo appears to have disappeared from the web.

I'd imagine an automatic door is something much simpler to repair than a complicated AA.

Either way it's more Ambitious but Rubbish Imagineering from WDI.

"rubbish imagineering" for a door effect that's been in use since 1999 and hasn't changed? yeah no I'd wager this is a park ops or another group holding it back - they don't want to close the ride to fix, don't have the parts to fix, something legal is involved that's making fixing it harder from a liability perspective, etc idk choose your own adventure

So WDI through a multimillion dollar retheme is incapable of fixing or designing an automatic door integral to the grand finale show scene.

Got it!

Just blame ops says the person with no standards.

 

[dmc493]

I just threw out multiple scenarios of why it might not be fixed, it's disappointing sure, I'm just saying it might not be WDI's fault. chill

I thought that they'd 'fixed' the door and that shortly after it just reopened that a ride vehicle drove into it and it didn't open, destroying the door and fortunately not injuring anyone? That being the case the initial 'fix' didn't work and so whatever the mechanism and safety back ups they'd installed failed so I'd imagine that they'd have to redesign something new and couldn't just refit a system that failed?

I'm sure I read that on here about the incident but it's such a big thread I've not attempted to look for the post, perhaps somebody can confirm?
