WDW literally falling apart

Pretty sure, I believe Arrow had too much on their plate in 79 (corkscrew, lots of corkscrews) to meet Disneys construction timeline, especially with the choice to make it computer controlled.

Everything I have ever heard was that arrow built Space Mountain.
All that I can find is blogs. According to RCDB.com Arrow only designed the Matterhorn, the rest was in house or other companies.

Yes, it’s always my first stop when in EPCOT.
When they bulldozed the original Club Cool I was worried the days of free soda would go the way of free fast passes, Free MDE, Free resort parking, free shopping bags etc.
At least for now we can still enjoy free soda at Club Cool, even my often-misjudged beautiful Beverly
So Tom Corless from the Site That Cannot Be Named just put out a video about attending MNSSHP at Disneyland...and he went on Splash Mountain and oh my god. I have seen that ride in disrepair before, but this was beyond shameful. AAs not working or only half-working, etc. The worst parts of the SM ridethrough were:
Brer Bear's tail. In one scene, when he's caught in the snare meant for Brer Rabbit, his tail is off-center - it's actually been stuck on his left buttock.
And in the scene where Brer Fox has caught Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox's head was wagging all around but his mouth was wide open and not moving. There were other animatronics, like the frogs, where the mouths were open but not moving, but you really notice it on Brer Fox.
Why ANYONE would spend the outrageous amount of money Disney demands to visit its U.S. parks right now is beyond me. No way I'd visit right now. The Walt Disney Company has become the Walt Disrepair Company.
Also, someone put out a video regarding the upcoming refurbishment for the Indiana Jones ride. SO many effects have been turned off or aren't working. And the prior refurb didn't fix the main reason why the ride was closed in the first place. What a freaking ripoff for park guests. Is there any hope for things getting better?

I fully believe that they're just letting Splash Mountain fall into disrepair so that they'll look "justified" in destroying it to make Tiana's So Totally Woke Adventure About Owning a Food Corporation.

No way would a company dare do that after making a rush to judgement decision to get rid of one of the best attractions they ever made

Has anyone investigated the possibility that the tragic loss of Betty White led to the facade crumbling? I don't think we should leave these questions unanswered.

I believe "Things Get Worse" is currently the leading candidate to replace "In God We Trust" on American currency.

I guess some things are just too easy and obvious that some just don't get it; pretty strange phenomena, really.
as you know but others may not get the obvious: SCONCES ARE INDEPENDENT FEATURES close to always hard wired and easily disconnected from plastic wire caps and mounted with machine screws and their respective caps. Sconces would have been removed if one were performing surgical/strategic local demolition of a panel.

The events of her passing are suspiciously similar to Great Lime Garage Fountain Split of 2022. Haunting.
I understand there will be a Netflix limited series on this exact topic next year. Olivia Rodrigo was reportedly cast as the fountain and Evan Peters has begun method acting as Betty White.

It's pretty appalling to see how little Disney cares for the Canada pavilion. Even when I was a merch coordinator there 5-6 years ago, it was the ugly duckling of the westside.

It’s only gotten worse, and I’m waiting for the day one of those totem poles just snaps in half and crushes someone.
