Like with all Disneyland Report projects there's going to be some problem with WoC. I wonder what it will be... It can't destroy the tracks of Space Mountain by being too heavy, it's not a giant yeti so it can't permanently be broken, it doesn't have to clear passageways on the monorail track, I don't think anything could suck as hard as Light Magic... well we'll have to see. I'm thinking the problem will be with the hydraulics that lift and lower all of the gadgetry in the lake. I predict it will break and they won't be able to fix it for months because they'll have to drain the water to do so. Or they'll run it without some of the promised special effects working properly.

The full cancellation of World of Color performances Wednesday night can't be blamed on the afternoon earthquake for certain. Multiple buoys that help raise the show platform up to the waterline sprung leaks and filled with water at some point before the platform was raised Wednesday evening. The middle and left platforms weren't aligned properly when the underwater scissor lifts were commanded to lock the platforms in place, with the middle platform suffering the most damage as the two massive structures were wedged into each other at an angle causing stressed structural beams and damaged fountains. A full team of divers, engineers, and outside contractors have been brought in to assess just how bad the damage is before the repairs can begin, or even what the repairs need to be, and there's no word yet how long all that may take. - Al Lutz
