News Round Up 2017

Yes, quite old: That gondola system is over sixty years old, and over the course of its life it has been taken down and put back up, and despite all that it didn't have its first accident until its 46th year. If anything, the fact that this is just the second incident in sixty years, and that no one was seriously injured in either incident, should calm the worries that guests may have had about the WDW system.

With the MuppetVision closure I have heard the projector/bulb finally died. They have been wanting to switch the show to digital and this allows them to do that.

Think they are going to fix the smoke machines? For the past who knows how many years whenever Waldo went to "burn rubber" you could always hear what sounded like a smoke machine but it never produced any smoke.
 
I know this was talked about a few days ago, but I was just at Animal Kingdom yesterday and walked by the Tarzan meet and greet. No one was there. No one was meeting him, no one was in line. They looked over at us, like, "Oh, maybe they will come meet Tarzan!" So maybe guest interest is actually the reason, I don't know. He was in a weird corner where it could be hard to find him.

I always found that a number of the character meets in AK are tucked away a bit and if you didn't know they were there/seeking them out they are easy to miss (I guess why they often have CMs out trying to get people to come in). Guess it fits with the original idea of no major signage at AK and having to explore, etc. - but I am never surprised when I hear of character meets there being changed up or low interest, etc.

Isn't Tarzan on the paths near the tree of life? I remember walking it just for fun one day and I passed his meet and greet. Not exactly the best advertised meet on property

Yesterday was also kind of a miserable day to be at the parks with the constant rain. Mary had no one when I walked by her. Gaston had no line 2 minutes to his set time. At one point FOP had a lower wait time than Navi.

I'm going to see this early September and I am beyond excited.
21 songs is a good length too. Lion King has 20, Aladdin has 21, BatB has 23 (based on the soundtrack counts)

Wow 21 songs!

That's about normal for a Disney Broadway musical. It should be good. I'll probably end up seeing it once when it goes on tour. I'm also not to far from CO, so I have thought about making a small trip to see it. However, I'm thinking I would want to see the finished product.
