Children taking off their diapers and throwing them towards the stage. "Casey" the MC of the show comes out, acts like a children's television twit, and lets everyone know that it's Minnie's Birthday and we are going to make a surprise. Then the puppets and the stage all broke. "Casey" tells everyone it will just take a minute, and leads us in some more mania inducing cheers about how kick butt this is going to be. The Puppets come back on: Sing one song, and introduce Handy Manny. Everything breaks again. Without a moment of hesitation, "Casey" says, "Well, folks, come back and see us again when Handy Manny and all the gang is ready!", and SPRINTS OFF STAGE. The crowd control CM's are freaking out, "Everyone exit to the right, there has been a malfunction, if you have any questions, please visit a cast member." Meanwhile, EVERY child from the age of 1-6 inside that show is now crying hysterically. And loudly. And whining and dropping to the floor, and tantrumming. It was really something to see. I was torn between pity and laughter. I think this could become a must see attraction if it continues to break down like this, if only for the people-watching sadistic aspect.

Originally Posted By crazycroc Don't get me wrong, it was definitely funny. It was like the part from "Where the Wild Things Are", where the monsters are roaring their terrible roars and gnashing their terrible teeth. Every kid pulled out every tantrum stop to get the show going again, but it didn't work. The glazed over look on parents faces was priceless.

We went there last Oct with our grandson and while he wasn't too into it some of the other kids were beyond excited to be there. It was pretty cute to see them. Personally my back and rear end would have been quite happy to have had the show cut short
