No pics, I forgot my camera :( I'm ashamed...

It was an evening at MK.

Went into the gate. shirts are banned, btw. My friend had to turn his inside out, we were cool with that, but having to do so in the plaza, not being allowed to goto the restroom - not cool. Guest Relations got an earful. They gave me a instant fastpass thingy, but i didnt need, want or use it (seriously, i ride the TTA and if anything else has a line i'm ok).

The place was busy, but the Tomorrowland noodle station was closed again. (Can you tell i'm going toward the TTA?)

Nothing is really changed since last week ;) The area across from the walled-up area at Swiss Family is a gazebo-type thing that used to have chairs (to sit and eat your dole whip), which are now gone. I assume the two areas are somehow related and will reopen with something new moving in.

Lots of backed-up FP lines. I know because i ahd that ticket thingy and was asking - most were running around 20mins.

On the TTA, it started to rain, so i went around again... I saw gaps when we first loaded, and bigger gaps between vehicles behind us when we started the second round. I shouldn't have pressed my luck.

Our vehicle came around the Timekeeper to the main Tomorrowland walkway and then stopped, just before the old entrance done-type thingy. Please remain seated, ride has stopped, yadda yadda.

After 15mins or less they said they were going to try and get the ride working, and off we went. We headed back to Rocket Tower Plaza, only to realize.. the next train infront of us hadn't started moving!

We came around the corner and just sitting there is a full train of people.. and we keep getting closer... It was a little scary. We were in the second vehicle of our train and the first vehicle of ours was empty - so i thought if anything it'd be crushed to bits and I'd be alright.. maybe.. if we were slowing down not accelerating..

Ok, I admit it, I was like "AHH!!! We're all gonna die a horrible magnetic death! This is what we get for screwing with physics and electromechanics! Darn you, polarity!!"

Then we hit them. We had slowed down, and the bumper on our car hit the bumper on their car and we did this slow sorta mushy-feeling "bounce" and the moment our vehicle made contact with theirs, the ride system shutdown and the automated E-stop message came on again. Please remain seated, yadda, yadda.

Shortly a host or hostess was with us, and we were being assisted. I got to walk the short track from over Buzz back to the main plaza.

All this, and me with no camera :(

On the way out, I spotted through the bushes near Timekeeper a backstage sign. It said Crew Members Only, anyone else subject to disciplinary action, WDI and authorized personelle only, yadda yadda, and that gives me hope that the building isn't jsut shut down and rotting.

I suspect they made your friend turn his shirt inside out in the plaza because they wanted to be certain it wasn't legible that way around either. If they let you go in to a bathroom, you're already in and aren't likely to return to double-check the shirt?

Just a thought...

Time keeper is indeed being worked on. in fact even the characters have restricted areas back there they can't go.

All i can tellyou is, Turtle talk was only the start of what is possible.




and one other thing did you really think they would let you wear a shirt that tries to give the impression of a vulgar word into a childrens park. I mean come on use some common sence.

Noodle station was open over the weekend - not that anyone was eating there - including the chicken fingers addition. Weird that it was closed during the week. Maybe they figured it was only busy enough on the weekend to have it open?

And TTA Trains Ahead ... :lol: Been there, done that! It's a little freaky to see the car in front of you getting closer, isn't it?

Yea I have to agree, they did right by telling you to turn your shirts inside out, why would you even try to test them with vulger shirts anyways that was stupid lol. I guy I work with at work had to turn his shirts inside out because they have beer ads on them lol. Nice update anyways.p>

This is the second TTA "crash" I've heard about recently. How often does that happen exactly? It must not hit very hard.

Ditto... I just don't get it. Why wear it to a family park?


Thanks for the update Merf. Sounds like a thrilling TTA ride. :lol:

Clothing designers that use it as a brand recognition gimmick.... they intentionally want people to see it as you think they do. They even sale their tshirts with slogans written as slang. So, yeah, they intend it to be seen as slang. WDW should not allow it and I'm glad they didn't in this case.
