Considering the Empress Lily (now Fultons Crab House) is a fixed structure built on a concrete foundation, it's pretty hard to suggest it even *could* operate.SirWillow wrote:I just got done laughing my way through another one recently that was put out about 10 years ago called Inside the Mouse, Work and Play at Disney World, that was written by a group of self-admitted marxist feminists. Such great stories such as one about a woman "sucked into the wake of the Empress Lily and chopped quite in half by the paddle wheel." Of course, this is impossible on so many levels that it's not even funny (e.g., if the boat was even running, the wake would have been pushing out, not in, and the paddles would have been running the wrong way to "chop", merely smacking her back out of the way again. Did it ever actually operate on the water?)
But I'm sure the Imagineers are delighted that they fooled another one. :D:
