Water Mice Accident on Seven Seas Lagoon

[paulcmartens]

I was the last to ride the Grand Floridian old water mice. Are these much faster...because if so, I could see there being an accident.

There were hardly any boats on the lake when I went around (5 total), but I had to be extra careful there were a couple close calls.

Since its spring break, its very likely an accident would happen this time of year.

Maybe WDW should limit the amount of Water Mice on the lake a given time.

Seems to me that some people are hell bent on spoiling everyone elses fun by their own stupidity and recklessness.

CEO - nice photos.

Depending on your weight, you FLY through the water. Not much horsepower tho.

As a larger framed individual I thought the mice had all the fun of piloting a super tanker.

Its a rather large piece of water, some driver error must be a factor, but hey ho I can just see the lawyers sniffing the air for cash.

Hey Jack!!

Don`t they still make you sign your life away before you hire watercraft - you know, the `if it goes wrong its all my fault` small print?? I`m sure you had to do that on the Village marina?

Happy Easter, it is good to be up today. And Marni I should think so. All rental stores have a form that I know everyone on the boards has signed or seen at least once. The "I will not sue if I incur damages to myself even death" papers. I presume Disney is no different. And if there isn't a form they are just asking for a lawsuit from someone tryingto make a lillte money. But if the fault was Disney's (malfunction, failures, etc...) then there are possible grounds to sue the company. And I am sure the lawyers will find something for a plausible courtroom trial.

The new Sea Raycers are much, much faster than the old Water Mouse crafts, which to me, makes it a lot more fun to ride them, but they are not quite as responsive as the Water Mice were. It's possible that these people were going as fast as the crafts would allow, and SURPRISE.... weren't paying attention to who else was around them, and didn't have enough time to get out of each others way. Could happen.

Either that or they're just plain stupid, and the were playing chicken.

OR.... Eisner made them crash with his evil Force powers!!

You don't need to say these people are stupid. We don't know, but we will find out. And welcome to the boards.

Whilst it can be a mistake to jump to conclusions, you really have to not pay attention to fail to notice other traffic on the lakes, or be doing something dangerous and irresponsible to crash these craft.

 

[JackSkellington]

Yes that is true. I agree whole heartedly.

Cool. I've not rented one of these since they were called Water Sprites! I may just have to give them a look next time.

How fast do those things go?

I don't understand what you are saying Pumbas.

I do, and I like your thinking!

Maybe it's not an expression used in America?

Jack - the expression is "Like (slang term for fecal matter that rhymes with grit) off a shovel". Meaning very fast.

 

[JackSkellington]

Now I get the analogy, but you could have said something like feces, or feco matter.

I think Pumba's choice has a more amusing rhythm.

 

[JackSkellington]

Ok buddy. Now has anymore information been released on the health of the driver, what Disney plans to do, and anything of importance?

Talk about going off topic...

Well as long as they didnt go on the boat cause that would have been a health issue.
