If I recall, OSHA requires any potential fall height greater than 4'-6' (depending on circumstance) to be protected. Workers could use means like harnesses with tie-offs, which is probably what they have been doing. But arguably a railing or parapet wall is safer in many cases because you help reduce the human error factor of somebody not knowing how to tie-off properly. Assuming the railings have toe-boards it also reduces the chance of objects rolling off the edge onto people below.

The question I have is, how are they installing these so they are no visible from the ground?
Legacy Fastpass being removed from Captain EO:

JII and EO, fond memories..
Will they install HISTA next, again? I hope not
This is only for the removal of the old Fastpass machines, not for removal of the attraction.

Oh my, the east coast version of the Alice in Wonderland discussion. My guess is that the railings will be decorated in a manner that is consistent with the architecture. Maybe even set back from viewing angle, if possible.

LOL! The discussion of this concerning Alice on the West Coast is Epic! There are less detailed discussions of fastpass out there. Wish I had the intensity for an attraction that is shown in those threads.

Oh ok, but they did close Eo in Anaheim didn't they? Makes me wonder how Long Eo will stay.
Hopefully until after i finally manage to make a trip there again. (20??) ^^

It's important that they kept this up for so long considering it was used for a single day during Captain EO's run, and wasn't used for several years at the end of Honey, I Shrunk the Audience's run.

The Anaheim one is not officially closed just down for a guardians of the galaxy preview like they are doing at DHS. There has been a lot of speculation though.

Just as an update, the Captain EO legacy FASTPASS machines have been removed. I checked there yesterday. That said, the nearby fountain is still dry (not related, but I still found this to be interesting, as they've been working on repainting that fountain for a while).
This permit was filed the other day. Why would they need a dumbwaiter for Laugh Floor?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumbwaiter Perhaps it's an ADA thing for cast.
But why would such a thing be needed for Laugh Floor? I will admit I have never done this attraction so maybe there is some aspect of the show I am not aware of.

There is probably some random backstage staircase to something important.
But what would have to be constantly brought up and down for this show?

Dumb waiters cannot be used for humans. By code they must be sized such that they are not (regularly) occupied.
It's possible this project is the replacement of an existing dumbwaiter, and not the addition of one.
