Flags and banners at MK rolled-up/secured, temporary lighting (portable now in place) and they took down Tinker Bell's flight cable. So a scaled back, and quite a unique, experience for the night show(s).

Would they remove the cable because they are afraid it would snap? That is the only reason I can think of for complete removal.

On a totally un-related note, happy first day of school today, Ryan. Good luck this upcoming semester.

I would guess that a cable with no flags or gondolas or hangered/pinned wet clothing on it will present very little wind resistance. Now, with the cable stretched quite right, when Tinker Bell is halfway down, there is a great "horizontal" pull on the moorings at each end., several times Tinker Bell's weight representing vertical pull down in the middle.

If some added slack can be put into the cable then the amount of end pull and therefore the chances of snapping would be somewhat lower.

Several sources have this now. Seems to be official.

Maybe someone should tell Disney.
