Old times at Disney

I cannot guarantee 100% accuracy, but they supposedly closed it with plans to just keep it closed for a couple years to refurb it. B/c the other water parks were doing so well, the funds kept getting delayed until more years had passed. Around that same time, the amoeba scare really came to light in the media. While the risk at RC is probably so minimal that it would not need to be addressed, they knew the media would slam them for ignoring it, so now it is "permanently" temporarily closed.

I had heard that another major reason it closed was simply that its capacity was so low compared to the other two water parks.

Yep. It looks like the cards are stacked against it pretty bad. I doubt it will ever be opened again.
