Which effect(s) in Kilimanjaro don't work anymore? It's been quite a few years since I've been on it.
The ricketty bridge has it's days. Or the poachers in the Jeeps.

I was there last weekend, You can BARELY see the Yeti now. It's pretty much a camera flash when you near him instead of strobes now....?
And yet people still got off those attractions satisfied...
:doh:
Again, this point of view is completely missing the point.
A malfunction of a day or two is acceptable. But after years of the same effects being broken, this view point allows for then to just disappear because management goes, "Well, people still ride the rides and like it."
To us it makes a difference, but to them what they don't know doesn't hurt them.
And? I don't see the point you're trying to make.
Closing Everest for a long period of time would bother more guests right now then fixing an effect 75% of people don't know they're missing.
You're never going to be able to please everyone all the time.
So why would they want to please the minority of people who have a problem with the ride?
To live up to the standards they themselves set.
Nevermind, people obviously don't get it.
At some point, doesn't providing a quality experience for your guests override any "standards" you set?
That's exactly the point. A ride with the most important scene missing isn't a quality experience by Disney standards. You can't tout yourself as being the best at putting on a show when you knowingly and happily put on a broken one.
But the scene isn't missing. You aren't flying through an empty cavern.
Closing the ride without another E-Ticket draw would be a huge blow to AK. The millions of upset guests could care less about the Disney standard when they're on vacation and their favorite ride is down for something they didn't even know was wrong.
This statement is so ludicrous I'm not even going to touch it.
And guess what? When effects like this continuously go missing because of Disney's fear of this, something much worse than a few upset guests will happen: The Disney standard (or the reputation of it, since that's all that's left at WDW) will go away. That's a lot worse. Sometimes you have to bite the damn bullet and do what you're supposed to. Half a decade of disrepair is unacceptable. Going at least 4-5 more years is unfathomable. And the fact that "fans" stick up for it and make excuses for it is even worse.
6 months of upset guests at DAK isn't going to kill WDW or the park. But the continuous apathy towards maintaining their attractions very well could.
It's built in a way that makes it extremely difficult to access, let alone remove.
Half a year, or most likely more, will absolutely kill the bottom line for AK in that particular year. At the very least they'd have to wait to the FLE to open so they have other things for guests to want to experience.
