What do you guys think about this? I read the headline and thought, "no way!!" But, after reading it, I'm more like, "well, I guess it's possible..."

Oh for heavens sake. What clickbait crap.

It's a pain for Disney CMs to get lines evacuated, it pressures guest relations CMs because now they have tons of irrate guests, the LL system has to change things into multipasses making the day operationally less predictable and at the end they need to go through the hoops to get the rides operational again- this isn't done to move crowds around. They play games with wait times when they need to do that (see end of night).

That was the most nothingburger article I've ever read from this site and that is saying A LOT.

 

[Kooks and Bay Bay]

um? NO.

Castmembers would know, and they love telling... and they often do explain why some rides go down so much.

A little low on August rent money?

I guess they never heard the saying

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence

Reads like nonsense to me. Unless people leave the park due to a ride closure, wouldn't that make the rest of park MORE crowded??? Like all bogus conspiracy theories, don't you think at least some Disney employees who are in on it couldn't resist spilling the beans on social media or to family/friends about 'fake' ride closures?

The idea that Disney makes more money selling things to eat when a ride closes also seems like nonsense to me.

Rides temporarily close for a variety of reasons. Bad weather/lightening in the area, maintenance issue or even something that malfunctions and could be a safety issue are obvious reasons I can think of. The fact it opens an hour or two later doesn't prove anything shady is going on................LOL.

Ah, not this conspiracy again. It’s not like I have a weather joystick to make it lightning all of a sudden and strike Lightning Lanes out.
