We were at DLR last week for 4 days and never saw it down. I also never saw it with longer than a 5 minute wait either.
Btw, she never had problems with her hair, since WDW never received the Dole Whip doo in the the first place. She's always had the underwater ponytail.
I've always strongly associated with Ursula. I pretty much am her without the tentacles and pet eels.

Anyways, from what I've been hearing Flotsam and Jetsam FINALLY move, and the Ariel in the big Under the Sea scene is working properly again. Btw, she never had problems with her hair, since WDW never received the Dole Whip doo in the the first place. She's always had the underwater ponytail.
We were there Suoerbowl Sunday when it was closed... Then the next day it was closed all morning... And then Thursday there was a sign saying the ride was closing for the day at 6pm... Weird!
Seems like I read something somewhere about a hair issue on this ride but it was with King Whats-his-face's beard. Can't be positive since I'm going on memory.
Flotsam and Jetsam are supposed to move?!!! If so, I never saw them move once when I was there late November-Mid December
Yes! King Tritons beard used to be white fabric. It looked much more like a turban on his face than actual hair. So he is now the only animatronic in the ride with synthetic hair. [Which, in November, was prone to falling out. So Disney bought him some rogaine.]
Yep. They are supposed to move. So far, they have only moved for two full days -- December 5th for the Press-Only event, and two days ago. Looks like the eels are suffering from some temporary paralysis again, since they weren't moving again today.
