Re: Lap bars for Splash Mtn.
Interesting development! I can't believe how much will be different at WDW for me when I finally get back there.

I really wish people would keep there extremities inside the boat and keep there butt planted so the rest of us can enjoy a stopping free splash mountain.

And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

Oh, we got to ride. But yesterday the ride broke down after we got off the ride and today we were stuck just before the load/unload for 10 minutes (why it couldn't be on the big drop's lift because it would have been a little more comfortable reclined...).Amy wrote:Were you stuck or did you not even get to ride?MadEye wrote:Today and yesterday it wasn't the guests but the mountain itself that didn't want to cooperate...northernmousefan2007 wrote:I really wish people would keep there extremities inside the boat and keep there butt planted so the rest of us can enjoy a stopping free splash mountain.
One thing I've noticed with the lapbars: kids have no problem standing when sitting with an adult...

Okay, let's break out the heavy duty seat belts like they use in race cars next for those logs next...or maybe we need to have special harnesses for children...MadEye wrote:One thing I've noticed with the lapbars: kids have no problem standing when sitting with an adult...

Re: Lap bars for Splash Mtn.
I agree with having the lap bars....it's just too bad that people don't follow rules anymore. Rules have become mere suggestions. A few spoil it for the rest.

A few? Nah. "The rest" are a minority, hence the lap bars.Debbiedeb wrote:I agree with having the lap bars....it's just too bad that people don't follow rules anymore. Rules have become mere suggestions. A few spoil it for the rest.

Re: Lap bars for Splash Mtn.
I remember on a TV show long ago someone was being toured through the HM and was about to touch something when the tour guide stopped them. They told them that guests spit so much during the attraction in the day that they had to clean it all down every night. Is there something about going to the parks that makes some people go feral?!?

Ewww! Why would people be spitting inside the HM?

Re: Lap bars for Splash Mtn.
Nope. But most guests seem to go dumb when they cross the border onto Disney property (unless they weren't dumb to begin with that is).mindflipper wrote:Is there something about going to the parks that makes some people go feral?!?
