Space Mountain Closed

Post by YANXWIN » Mon Apr 15, 2013 9:17 am

I couldn't figure out how to post the link to the article I read this morning about the temporary closing of Space Mountain, Matterhorn, and Soarin. I guess they got cited for some minor infractions and so they've closed them to "review" things. I read the article on KSL.com out of SLC, Utah.

I've read the CalOSHA citation for Space Mountain. What was the problem with the Matterhorn and Soarin'?

A small pebble dropped into the sea creates a small, but infinite, wave.
