Was this just a temporary glitch, or has this been another one of those 'Disney maintenance getting worse' scenarios? By the way, since it was Father's Day, they let any father and his children ride twice without getting off, though, I think you had to have some sort of Father's Day button or clothing on you identifying you as such. (I was wearing a #1 DAD baseball cap that day!) Definitely a nice surprise!

Originally Posted By brotherdave Well, NOTHING (besides the cars) was moving that day. The large black & white spiral disk (the 'Twilight Zone' looking thing) at the top of the lift hills looks as if it SHOULD spin, but didn't. I kind of remember seeing other things move and spin in the video, like clock hands and meteors, plus a dino cut-out or two moving, but, am just not certain of it.

Originally Posted By brotherdave Figures it was down the day I was there. Too bad, I thought it looked kinda 'funky'. I KNEW I wasn't imagining it that this stuff was supposed to move! It just looked so 'kinetic' by it's design. Hopefully, this was just a one day or so glitch!

Originally Posted By TDLFAN The system was "off"?? That is simply deplorable. Maybe it was the maintenance dept that was OFF, which seems to be often at WDW.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip Wanna compare heights/weights? From the photos I've seen I think we'll come out about even. P.S. We don't wear those heavy Minnesota parkas when we go to California or Florida. Perhaps that's what had you confused.
