Weird question, but every single Dyson Hand Dryer in all the parks and CityWalk has been slapped with an out of order sign. Did something happen with them? It seems very odd
It's probably something so ticky tack too... For them to all go down at once and stay down this long screams recall/warranty claims and or dispute between customer and vendor.
I always liked the Dysons, thought they were the best electric hand dryers around. they actually work and I thought they helped contain the ick
They have received ton's of bad press lately

Count me in with the "unsanitary" crowd for the Dyson Airblade dryers. The water seems to pool up on the bottom of them, not far from where you put your hands when they're the deepest in. They do a decent job getting the water off and your hands pretty dry, however, I prefer the Xlerator hand dryers that many other theme parks have put in. They don't require you to put your hands inside anything and they have hurricane-force winds that not only blow the water away, but your hands too. Success! Xlerator dryers seem much cheaper than the Dysons ($450-$500 vs. $1300-$1400)...those Airblades aren't cheap!
It seems like a lot of people don't use them the right way. The concept of the Dyson dryers versus traditional dryers is that the air blows the water off your hands instead of warm air just drying it. You have to move your hands up and down so that the blade of air scrapes the water off. I see people all the time just hold their hands in their like they are waiting for the air to dry their hands.

I agree, I couldn't remember the name of those Xlerator hand dryers.
What I do not like about the Dysons is you need to put your hands in such an unnatural position it is hard to not touch the thing. Then I'll pull my hands thru the 'blade' like 5 times and they still feel moist.
