God, this is real tragic. Disneyland must be falling apart more than we think due to how many rides just keep breaking down, why it is some rides haven't gotten repaired, and the amount of gutting they have to do to revamp old rides into something newer (and cheaper). I bet the technicians and mechanics they hire aren't the best in their field, either.
Sad to see it die if true.
wow it's like cutting corners over and over on maintenance for decades eventually has a negative outcome or something
I honestly can’t say whats worse, the fact that they’ve destroyed something from the original ride out of pure negligence or the fact they’ve been using the same machinery from the fucking 60s.
Cars was beat for beat a remake of Doc Hollywood. just made for babies.
ehh, the old machinery still worked fine until fatties got fat
Transplanted machinery.
okay then yeah it's a miracle they didn't literally explode and kill dozens by this point
still doesn't makes it bad.
IIRC they cut maintenance in the early 2000s so much that someone died on Big Thunder, another on the Mark Twain, and Space Mountain's entire track had to be replaced because of wear and tear.
I actually was there less than a week after it happened. The date was already set in stone before the accident, and man was it awkward in Frontierland that day. And yes, people were asking if Big Thunder was open and when would it reopen.
And Disney really does not tell people "hey uh you're too fat to ride this"
Funny thing about that, disney announced that they were minimizing meal portions in the park and the disney side of twitter screamed fatshaming.
And that is precisely why Disney doesn't tell people "you're too fat to ride this". No matter how you explain it to them, you can't stop the perpetually offended from being....well, offended.
> New Pixar film with Asian protagonist
Because god forbid you can't suck down a small mountain of food in 90 degree heat before you waddle out to ride more stuff.
With how disney uses shit as an excuse to replace rides with "better" (shittier) ones that are just a fuckload of tv screens on the walls, the conspiracy theorist inside me says this shit was an inside job. Mark my words they're gonna tamper with small world in cali and then make a big announcement about how they "saved" it. Shitty cgi dancers on screens instead of shitty but novel animatronic dancers.
Looks like it has potential to be a funny family movie but I fucking HATE how pixar's art direction went from being inspired by 50s shit to "high budget grubhub ad" these past few years. Thankfully the animation is still more competent than grubhub tier shit but the aesthetics are sadly gonna be tainted for a long time it seems.
