Magic Kingdom (General Discussion)

This makes me think this is a systemic issue regarding maintenance. If my company had these sort of issues I'd be handed a ton of Corrective Action Reports and conference calls on what processes were failing.

Thankfully these are all harmless and no one's getting hurt (not that it's not worrying that this keeps happening). I have major concerns that it will take something tragic happening at Space Mountain for them to finally take it down and give it the update it not only is in desperate need of, but deserves.

Might I remind you the maintenance cutting at DL in the early 2000s is what lead to BTMR derailing and decapitating a woman?

This is what I fear and the maintenance situation at MK specifically right now is worrying.

Not a day goes by lately without something like this at MK:

PeopleMover Closed for Second Consecutive Day at Magic Kingdom

The load turntable used to cause it to go down all the time in the 70s. Ironically the ride was fine.

I'm really not sold on the pink, but the blue looks good.

I think they have a ways to go on the final colors. I hate what they do with the geometrical patterns in the blue but it isn't my castle so I guess I have to let them paint it their way.

Well, this closure should allow them to bring in extra lifts and painters and have this done before they reopen.

 

[LieutLaww]

I really like that blue.

Yup, and it was situations like that along with the shoddy maintenance which led to the whole resort getting a "Come to Jesus" moment in order to look great for the 50th. WDW by no means should be mimicking that kind of route, but it's eerily looking that way.

Looks like the revised MK Tram loop is ready.

Finishing up the new-look castle before the park reopens:

Going all out on the painting now. I saw 11 lifts and the big crane being used.

Seems that they have made very little progress on the Main Street Theater.

That was a joke, right? That project was canceled before it really started.

 

[HandsomePete]

I was about to say... who's going to tell him?

That’s what the lol is for.

Hmm, must have been an invisible LOL...
