Sorry if already posted I just looked, but it is also at night.
According to 7 news in boston The eight voyage of sinbad had a huge issue last night. Apparently Sinbad fell very far during his grand entrance and they said his condition is not known? Was anyone there or have any other news on this? It looked extremly Scary.

Saw the same show that you did and they made it look like it was a major problem. But when I did a search at the Orlando Sentinel didn't appear to be a big issue.

Hmmm... is it me or does that drop down look way faster than it should be in the news video. It appeared that it just dropped the guy. While the show has a pace, it cannot be that all rigging stunts are computerized as the show is mildly variable. It is more like a mechanical failure occurred; as if a counterweight/winch rig failed. I have no idea how the sliding drop ropes work.

Regardless, a great show. I hope it returns to its normal performance soon.
