According to today's Al's Update, there have been dozens upon dozens of boats stuck at the lip of the first drop (and many at the second as well). Bah, our LoT sinking method is no longer unique ... and some of us (*cough*CP*cough*) can stop feeling bad about holding up the ride. It's been happening several times per day ... and without the, ahem, front loading we do with troublemaker intent.

In fact, far from fixing the problem we so emphatically and scientifically pointed out the day Pirates closed ... they have done the exact opposite of fixing the flume in that area. According to Al, they have installed new braking systems, gate controls, and water flow restrictions at the top of the drop ... and have been paying a severe price for that retarded decision. Al reports that they have taken to having a maintenance guy stationed in the darkness at that point in the ride (think Splash Mountain final lift) to be ready to push boats at a moment's notice.

No such person was stationed there on Sunday. In fact, if this has been going on with any regularity since the ride reopened, I am surprised at the unpreparedness displayed by the CMs. Far from getting a Kyle, we were treated to CMs who probably haven't been at their posts for more than a month. But, if the boats really are stopping at the drop several times a day, the CMs we encountered must have been hired that very morning.

Looks like it was a fun time.

That's it. I'm convincing Ralphie that we need to move closer to the park. I miss my park.

Love those pictures! I just want to joyously tackle each and every one of you Tigger style.
