Stupid Guest Tricks

In the spirit of our 50th Anniversary Celbration, where WDW is getting hand-me-down attractions from every other park, the Magic Kingdom yesterday received the gift of Disneyland's latest attraction: the park-wide power outage!

However, due to budget limitations, there was insufficient funding to power down the whole park. (Plus Team Disney vetoed any change that would interrupt cash register operations.) Instead, only the power feed to the air conditioning unit for the DACS complex was pulled. This cased every computer in "computer central" to overheat and shut down.

These dead computers brought down all of the attractions that are run from computers at DACS (most of them). They also brought down hydraulic power park-wide, which took out most of the rest of the attractions. Very soon, the Magic Kingdom was a park with 28k guests and only six working attractions, which were all promptly hammered.

It was a very interesting hour, and I'm damn glad I didn't start until it was well over.

Quiz time! Who can name the six attractions that can operate without DACS or hydraulic support? Answer tomorrow. :twisted:

Very close indeed!

MS Vehicles couldn't run during the outage, as Main Street was full of unhappy guests queued up either to leave or to bitch at City Hall.

The one you missed is The Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management. When it was rebuilt from the original Tropical Serenade, it got local control system. It also uses only pneumatic power, no hydraulics.

Thanks to all for playing! Let's hope we don't get to do it again soon.

summer time is coming up, you know it will

Close.....

The MS Vehicles were running: the Yellow '03 and 2 Trolleys continued to carry guests. The only real time the vehicles were not running were during the Trolley Show's and while we stopped briefly to open the queue at the Main Street Station. It was tough to drive with the crowd but there was room for it to squeeze through.

Really? Sounds pretty brave to me! Glad that, once again, I missed all the excitement.
