Matterhorn "Remain Seated Please" spiel changed!!!
 

Believe it or not.

Instead of "Remain seated please - Permanecer sentados, por favor" it now says "Remain seated with your seatbelt fastened - Permanecer sentados, por favor."

:mad:

1) They JUST put that famous old spiel into the fireworks show.

2) The translation doesn't make any sense. They don't care to say "please" to those that speak English, and don't care to tell Spanish-speakers to keep their seatbelts fastened.

3) This is such a geeky thing that I'd be embarrassed to complain to City Hall about it, yet this makes me angrier than most of their transgressions.

4) There is absolutely no reason to change it!

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Actually, the new English version is "Please remain seated with your seatbelts fastened."

I'm a totally geeky purist so I think my feelings on this can be easily surmised. :)

Oh, ok. My bad. :blush:

Still enraged though. :mad:

Doesn't surprise me. Once they changed the one in The Haunted Mansion I knew they wouldn't stop there. I'm still pissed off they changed the Casey JR spiel (both loading & unloading).

Ugh.

Yeah, they're working their way through the park and making the spiels "better" from a safety perspective. I'm very glad it is preserved along with its retired brothers and sisters in Remember.

Darn.....that was like my favorite speil ever...everyone knows what it is, even the non-Disney geeks. I almost want to put it on my iPod and listen to it while I get off the ride next time...

You mean it's no longer the Wildest ride in the Alps?

No, now it's the wildest ride in the Aaaaaaaaaalllllps!!

Bitte bleiben sie in boat sitzen.

That's my favorite.
