Nothing is functioning at IASW right now. I was really bummed to not hear the classic "tick tock" of the clock this past week. Also, it was depressing to ride the Railroad past IASW and see that the canals are totally emptied of water, and to see it being completely darkened at night.
I thiink they are replacing the entire canal path so emptying the existing one would be a first move.
I was disappointed to see that they didn't leave the external lights on when I was there last week. To me the lights of the outside is so cool and iconic and I can't say I ride Small World every time I visit but I always enjoy the external lights of the ride.
I'm not sure if they will be off until November when the ride returns or if they will turn the external lights back on sooner. I hope they do just for asthetic reasons.
