Big Thunder Mountain bathtub guy...

[chicagoshannon]

When did they remove the bathtub guy on BTMRR? I haven't seen him in several visits. Was wondering how long he's been gone. It was one of my favorite things to look for as a kid.

He’s been there our last couple of trips, including February and June of this year. I did notice he hasn’t been going around in circles like he sometimes does. My kids and I love him too! We always wave and yell, “hi, grandpa!” to him!

hmm Ok I guess I've just missed him then. I bet it's that he's not spinning. Next month, I'll have to ride BTM until I see him no matter how many rides it takes.

Hmm. I never noticed him. I will be sure to keep an eye out for him next month!

We watch for him too.

I have noticed during our past few trips the tub hasn’t been moving though.

For those who don’t notice or can’t find gramps bathing away during the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness....

He’s over on the far edge of the ride area (close to the railroad track I believe). He’s an old man in pink pajamas sitting in a bathtub that usually spins around in this very small “pond” (for lack of a better word). You can see him below you and off to the left as you go up one of the bigger hills near the beginning of the ride. You definitely have to look for him!

He probably isn't working now and is just set in place. Happens all the time, especially with all the animatronics around RoA.

I'm sure the CM have alerted maintenance plenty of times.

I can't count how many times these things would work one day and then just be off for months .

We love bathtub guy! Hopefully he's spinning when we are there in a few weeks!!!

Huh! I have ridden big thunder at least 1136 times and I have never noticed this. I will be looking for this next trip. I can see multiple rides in my future until I catch a glimpse of this.

We saw him in July. We always look for him. I have to say I never saw the yeti until this last trip on Everest! I thought it would be white since all their merchandise is a white yeti. I never noticed it almost blending into the cave. I always felt like a big dummy. Finally saw it (palm to forehead)

Next month, I'll have to ride BTM until I see him no matter how many rides it takes.

This is exactly the kind of dedication to excellence I like to see here on the Dis.

Lol, we yell “Hi Grumpa!” ( that’s what we call my dad)
