Upkeep of Rides - What rides have people noticed are in need of some serious attention.

Not so much of a queue complaint but for goodness sake PLEASE address the condition of the film in Soarin'

philharmagic too. the film looked blurry. not as sharp as it used to be.

Buzz is well known for not being kept looking good, the line especially.

I know I tend to over analyze things, but, I noticed it as well and have for a number of years. I have to wonder. Why would they keep other attractions looking nice and not Buzz. There must be some reason. Perhaps the entrance placement and the wind movements might make it a place that all the junk just plain blows into. That's just a guess, I'm not going to argue it's validity, it just gives me pause when there is no logical explanation for things, that maybe there are other forces working against it. Who knows?

It has always looked blurry to me, even when it was new.

In addition to Buzz looking bad, its also annoying because the targets don't seem to register that well anymore. I know exactly which targets are the high value ones, and I hit them, but it never matters because my shots aren't registering most of the time. Also it's hard to keep your car aimed in the direction you want because for some reason they rotate slowly away from where you stopped it, which I don't think they are supposed to do. Its annoying that in the very least, Buzz was never given a DL Astro Blasters style upgrade.

And Tough to be a Bug looks very faded currently.

...and those seats are getting just plain nasty!!!!

I used to work Buzz. On top of hit-and-miss maintenance of the guns, that queue is TERRIBLE. Several chunks of the floor are held in place with plain, silver duct tape. It's embarrassing.
Granted, it's hardly out of place nowadays.

I literally just saw this episode the other night. great show.

I don't notice the peeling paint and dust in the ceiling of rides as much as I do notice the urine smell on the monorails.

Well, he seems happy

No, I got a $300 credit on my entire trip over my concerns. Disney is a great company and they know I think so.

That's awesome! Go Disney!

One of the worst queues on property. And the music arrrgh! I enjoy the ride, though.

Agreed on all of these, esp the ceiling of IASW. I'm not sure if this counts, but last time I rode JC, the water was FILTHY. It was really nasty, and it was a really strange orange color. Everyone was commenting on it. CoP was pretty bad, but apparently they're addressing that?

I believe the JC water is that color on purpose. Can't remember if it's dye or not.

Is it? It seemed like a recent development. I feel like I would've remembered that

It was talked about during its recent refurb when they drained the attraction and removed the animatronics. They filled it back up, then turned the water that brownish orange color. I think it's supposed to resemble the real water on a jungle river.

Hmm, I see. I guess that makes sense. Seeing the change was jarring at first though. But it also had a lot of debris/junk in it as well.

I'm used to seeing leaves and sticks and such, but if cups and bags and gnawed mickey bar sticks are floating around that's a problem ha.
