Why Are Safety Gates Bad?

why not? they are a good source of income of disney because they bought a park ticket and buy stuff in the park.

but the air gates are a good idea, it keeps the CMs more focused on what their doing, and its easyer to have a whole bunch of gates holding people back, rather then yelling at them when there are only a couple CMs loading 20-30 people (like on RnR). I think they should install the air gates on TOT. for some reason people cant count and they go into the elevator before their sopose to... and then they get in the wrong row..... :brick: :brick:

No it doesn't. It is a hit or miss thing. There is somewhat of a cycle, but when it comes down to getting wet vs. effeciency, effeciency wins.

I have ALWAYS gotten hit by the water from the log going over the drop. EVERY SINGLE RIDE...and I always observe the log in front and behind me getting hit, too. Regardless, you have always waited for the people in front of you to get out of the log you are to get into. THERE IS NO PHYSICAL WAY TO GET INTO A LOG WHEN OTHERS ARE IN IT...all those safety gates are keeping guests from doing is approaching the ride trough while logs are approaching--and again, it has always been impossible to get into the logs before they stopped anyway, b/c people are already in the logs!

I haven't. In fact, this last trip was the first time in a year that I actually got hit by the splash.
