This is from Wikipedia so dont blame me if anything is wrong!
"On February 14, 1999, a 65-year-old part-time custodian was killed when he fell off a gondola. He was cleaning the Fantasyland Skyway station platform when the ride was accidentally turned on. He was in the path of the ride vehicles and grabbed a passing gondola in an attempt to save himself. He lost his grip, fell 40 feet and landing in a flower bed near the Dumbo ride. He died shortly after arrival at a local hospital. The Skyway ride, which had been scheduled to be closed before the accident occurred, was permanently closed on November 10, 1999. As a result of the accident, OSHA fined Walt Disney World US$4,500 for violating federal safety codes in that work area."

Just as I thought.9 days after my trip in 1999 to the World.

Frankly, considering they barely make people with the ability to walk, the concept of paddling and self-propelling an attraction seems unlikely.

Plus, the capacity of the canoes has probably dropped 2 people for the same reason as above. Larger and lack of ability (desire) to do any type of physical work.

Speaking of attractions that I'm not sure why they took away. Why did they get rid of the explorer canoes?

Simple answer? Budget and then safety.

^ Same reason they got rid of the Mike Fink Keelboats?

There's your reason.

You can do that on the TTA, are they gonna get rid of that too?
