>In the wake of a tragic alligator attack at a Disney World hotel that left a 2-year-old boy dead, Disney World has begun to make changes — even to decade-old attractions.
>Louis, the trumpet-playing alligator from the 2009 film The Princess and the Frog, was supposed to be a part of the Friendship Faire castle show at Magic Kingdom, but got pulled just days before the show premiered on June 23, according to a Disney employee, who asked to remain anonymous because of job security. The alligator was supposed to play trumpet during the show.
>The Tic Toc Croc from Peter Pan, known for hunting villain Captain Hook, was also removed from the Festival of Fantasy parade at Magic Kingdom, park guests reported.
>The Jungle Cruise has also changed its scripts, stopping employees from making jokes like“but remember, folks, if you don’t watch your children, the crocodiles will,”as they narrate an adventure ride through rivers across the world, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The script, known for its puns, has been in place since 1962.
>Guides on the Kilimanjaro Safari ride at Disney’s Animal Kingdom have also removed references to the predators, the Daily Mail reported. Staff no longer claim the tour bridge could dump them into the crocodile pit below.
R.I.P fictional Disney crocs
this is fucking ridiculous
how about removing humans next?

>>84148295
They are pretty common in Florida.
>>84148219
I'm still half-expecting the whole thing to be a JonBenet Ramsey-esque coverup by the parents. Accidentally kid their kid, drop the body off in a Florida lake and claim a gator dragged the kid off.
Didn't the police say they recovered the child's body "intact"? Even a small gator would have pulled off a 2-year-old's arms and legs.
Wonder if this is only temporary.
>>84148368
>kill their kid.
jesus, brain.
>>84148368
>Accidentally kid their kid
I've heard of dying of laughter but this is a bit much
>>84148219
I understand removing the jokes from the scripts, but removing the crocs from the actual rides and shows is stupid.
>>84148219
Why didn't they remove Aladdin after 9/11?
>>84148295
It's florida. There are literally 10+ foot alligators everywhere.
>>84148368
I'm fairly sure there's a video of the gator grabbing the kid that's been floating around the Internet. I didn't watch it to confirm but I've seen it posted.
Why do we live in a culture of fear?
>>84148368
Gators are good at killing the shit they want to eat, but not breaking it down for easy consumption. They normally let maggots and shit do that for it. So probably drowned the kid and left it lying around somewhere nearby.
>>84148471
Live an hour north of Orlando and can confirm.
Got a lake behind my place with a big ass alligator that likes to sun bathe. Call him Moe. Moe's pretty chill, but I'd never let my kid around him becauseI give a shit about my kid's safety.
>>84148535
To be fair, the Jungle Cruise flat out making a "crocs will eat your kids" joke really would be poor taste to keep it in.
>>84148295
Its Florida. If you cannot see the bottom of a body of water bigger than a puddle you assume there is an alligator/crocodile in it. The family were from up north and assumed the "no swimming" sign could be disregarded because they're stupid tourists.
>>84148219
GatorGate has begun
If someone is killed on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, do they ban pirates, robots, or Johnny Depp?
>>84148219
How long till the Temple of Doom edit where the guy falls into water and that's it?
>>84148578
This, it's kind of poor taste to do this right after, same with the safaris talking about dumping you into a croc pit.
But Louis and Tick Toc...those are like..main characters. what the fuck.
>>84148219
>one alligator kills a kid
>all beloved crocs and gators are responsible and have to pay for it
>even though a croc wasn't even responsible, fuck'em anyway
>>84148589
Letting your kid walk near the shore or perhaps putting his feet in water marked "no swimming" isn't exactly the height of arrogance. If it was "no swimming" because "gators might take a bite of you" that should probably be marked.
Or hell, its a Disney property, they have the money to keep the bodies of water next to their hotels cleared of gators. Have a team on staff checking the ponds regularly.
>>84148295
bruh
do you even florida
So this is how muslims feel.
>>84148675
There were not gators to be known in that area of the water. There's other dangers as to why they put no swimming. BUT gators be gators and moved on around. Gators climb chainlink fences and get around many man made structures and disney HAS always caught and released gators and worked with local animal control. They're sneaky giant beasts though. This is a FREAK ACCIDENT. Trying to blame anyone is non-sense. If anything, blame america for establishing cities in a semi-prehistoric ecosystem where giant bugs and brain eating amoeba live.
>>84148219
It's Florida. Alligators are fucking everywhere. I live about a minute away from a lake filled with them. They have nothing to do with cartoon gators in any form or fashion. It's not like anybody is going to be triggered either.The only person who would, would be the child and he's dead, and I seriously doubt the parents are going to come back to a place where their 2 year old child got killed.
The real thing they should take away is better wildlife control on the parks grounds and more warning signs overall.
>>84148368
There were way too many witnesses for that kind of plan to have been considered, especially when there were plenty of more secluded bodies of water nearby that would have been much more suited. It happened on a beach outside of the hotel on "movies on the beach night." A ton of people would have been around and watched it happen. It would have taken serious stupidity and balls to try to pull that in that place at that time for no reason.
>>84148860
#notallgators
>>84148675
>>84148894
The issue was the new Disney Vacation Club bungalows at the Polynesian Resort. Idiots kept feeding the gators from the waterside back porches and people kept getting away with it with just a slap on the wrist.
>>84148894
>This is a FREAK ACCIDENT. Trying to blame anyone is non-sense.
Damn. I see this response so rarely, I just wanted to take the time to thank you for it. I've been getting really sick of every tragedy needing several scapegoats to blame and then everyone arguing which of them is worst.
>>84148860
Except Muslims are not savage beast and should be able to rationalize between what's right and wrong in today's world and their archaic ideology. Especially a practicing Muslim in the west. If you seriously practice the religion and agree that ANYBODY should be killed upon your ideology you don't belong in a first world country.You belong in a cannon, getting blasted to the moon.
>>84148929
When I was like 3 years old my friend had a plastic snake toy. My mom loves to tell the story of how one day I was in the yard playing while my mom worked on the porch and she heard me saying 'mikey's snek! mikey's snek!' and looked up in time to see me about to attempt to grab and hug a very very large copperhead. Kids maybe don't need encouragement in an environment where such things actually do exist. I'm not saying it isn't a bit of a knee-jerk reaction, but...I get it, too.
Full disclosure: I have no memory of this event other than my mother's retelling of the story at awkward moments, and did not grow up to be a scalie. Thank you.
>>84148219
That Nightclub shooting happened in the same city Disney World resides. Will they ban all the Aladdin rides now?
>>84148971
That is a new part of the story I hadn't heard yet. I can definitely believe it.
>>84148219
I can understand making jokes about kids getting eaten by crocs would be in poor taste, but it seems like reacting this strongly is just drawing more attention.
>>84149043
Fucking this. The reason this shit is such big news is specifically because it's such a rarity.
>>84149113
But... why do this? Boredom?
>>84149065
Kids are retarded. When my sister was like 3 or 5 she grabbed a black widow from our garden because she saw it in a nature documentary and wanted to show my mom.
It doesn't matter if you associate it with whatever, they don't realize the danger in most of the cases. Even if you didn't know about the snake your dumb undeveloped mind would of probably lead you to the same fate. If what >>84148971 said is true then the real issue is older people being stupid enough to condition and attract gators closer to residence. They should know better than to do this shit as adults.
Like >>84149043 , this is a freak accident and there's not really anyone to blame in this case. Tighten up security and give people a bit more than a slap on the wrist next time they feed/do stuff to the gators and there you go.
>>84149261
It's something called being an asshole. Some people realize animals are stupid and take it as fair means to abuse them.
>>84149113
Damn. I knew what was coming and nature is savage and all that, but when the attack actually happens it makes me feel pretty bad. Just a dick move.
>>84148219
>The Jungle Cruise has also changed its scripts, stopping employees from making jokes like “but remember, folks, if you don’t watch your children, the crocodiles will,”
>tfw I was there a month ago and my Jungle Cruise guide mimed an alligator attack

It's a shame too, that dude was really fucking funny.
>>84149113
>People think he's feeding the hog
>When in reality he's feeding the croc
>>84149261
Boredom, entertainment, ignorance. If you listen to the original video with sound, many of the people on the boat actually seem pretty surprised that shit got so violent.
Also hogs are pests and not well liked, so they probably thought taking the opportunity to maybe kill one would be doing some kind of service. It would only end up attracting gators to boats, though, so it's a really stupid move.
>>84149261
one part asshole to animals (although the gator would beg to differ) one part dealing with hogs as a major pest in the southern united states.
On one hand he's feeding native wildlife using invasive species, on another he's baiting an animal to it's demise.
>>84149261
>>84149312
Because tourists can be really fucking dumb.
Like earlier this year, tourists at Yellowstone grabbed a baby bison and put it in their car because they thought it was too cold. Or how there's been like two incidents this year of Yellowstone tourists walking off the boardwalks onto the hot spring plains, with one guy dying after falling into one of those boiling death pits.
>>84149342
Wonder if they all tell each other gator jokes in the breakroom.
>>84149423

That's not even the half of it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkQL5GXnwp0
>>84148219
Wait, so because some kid got killed by an Alligator, we now have to pretend at Disney parks that 'gators and crocs dont' exist?
How does that make sense? They should be heightening up awareness about these creatures, not erasing it.
>>84148219
They can't do that, we like aligators and crocs, just don't remove then now.
>>84149407
Pretty much. It's not a bad thing for the gator to eat the hog. But let's be real; he only did it because he wanted to see an animal get killed by another animal and that's pretty not cool. I hope he felt like a dick when he actually got what he was after.
>>84149480
This
more should be done to teach kids and their parents about how dangerous these animals can be. But instead, they try and hide the problem.
>>84148341
Just you wait until caimans & gharials get involved. Then we'll have ourselves a real shitshow.

>beloved crocs and gators
>>84149480
Having friendly cartoon mascots of the animals playing trumpets and hugging children probably isn't a good way to raise safety awareness on the issue, though.
And like other anons have said, joking about children being mauled is just distasteful in the wake of this kind of accident.
I still think they may be going a bit overboard, though.
Since this is a parks thread I got good news and bad news.
Good News: Guardians Tower of Terror in Florida is completely dead
Bad News: Now they're thinking of shoving Guardians of the Galaxy into Epcot.

>>84148219
>Parents let 2 year old wade in the water by himself
>no swimming sign
Fucking morons. Parents shouldn't have left their child unattended in the water, even if there was no gators.
I spent a lot of my childhood at cabins/lake houses in the midwest (no gators, poi snakes, sharks, ect). Until we were nearly 10 my siblings and I weren't allowed to be in the water by myself without a parent supervision. Why were these parents so fucking dense? You're in Florida for fucks sake. Aren't there gators in the storm drains and sewers?
And yet this is still up
>>84149769
I feel bad for laughing. But that's pretty funny.
See you later, alligator.
>>84149602
The Tic Toc Croc from Peter Pan wasn't friendly, it was fucking scary. So scary, in fact, that even Hook, the main villain, is terrified of it.
Also that whole bit about changing the Jungle Cruise script, by removing this "joke" (I don't even see it as a joke) which serves more as a -warning-, a very apt and relevant one, especially given the circumstances of this case, strikes me as very stupid. That is another thing that they SHOULD have kept.
>>84149423
>Like earlier this year, tourists at Yellowstone grabbed a baby bison and put it in their car because they thought it was too cold.
Man you're being unfair with half the story here.
The guy was someone who regularly worked with animals and saw that the baby bison was abandoned by its herd. The herd had already given up on it and left it shivering in a river and consistently ignored the baby even when it caught up.
The baby was just hanging at the side of the road waiting to get hit by a car or get eaten. The guy brought it to the park people who later decided to euthanize it because they didn't have the resources to take care of it.
>>84149769
>>84149769
What the fuck.
This is complete horseshit.
>>84148219

>>84149423
I like Yellowstone for being a perfect place for natural selection to occur.
I remember going there as a kid, and also glacier nat park, and remembering how fucking retarded some of the tourists were with bears and buffalo. Thankfully, my parents weren't airheads.
>>84149043
I know. This isn't a case where we can say
>"These things happen"
and shrug it off. This isn't a bison trampling someone in yellowstone, this isn't a bird shitting on someone. These things DO NOT HAPPEN. If it was an every day normal thing there might be people to blame, different things you could have done, ways to act moving forward. This is a horrible freak accident. This has never happened in this location, this family has never been to florida, i mean so many things added up, how can you blame anyone for something where it's not so common. Yet people with these incidents need to blame someone. If anyone knew this was going to happen, well then god damn, why wasn't something done? It's cause no one knew. A meteor hits the earth, we going blame NASA for not noticing, Jupiter for not pulling it away with it's gravity? At what point do you just accept that.... hey, this was fucked, but it happened and it's not normal so no one can really be at fault here.
>>84149933
>Look up how many humans are killed by muslims each year compared to alligators and crocodiles COMBINED. I'll wait.
Wow way to miss the point by taking the actions of others and pinning it on every member of the group that's not even unified in the first place.
I bet you'd do this to an innocent gator if Trump told you to.
He was on that golf course first! YOU get out!
I wonder what would have happened if a bunch of mice had killed that kid.
Serious discussion question: what if there was a terrorist attack directly linked to ISIS in a Disney park? What would be the ramifications to Muslim visitors?
>>84149392
>many of the people on the boat actually seem pretty surprised that shit got so violent.
This is something a lot of people unfamiliar with wildlife don't consider either.
Nature can be a pretty brutal place, and even hunting animals can pretty messy sometimes. People think they have a grasp on what predators do because they watch Animal Planet, but they don't know that those shows cut out the bits before the prey is actually dead.
Watching animals be killed, even in nature, can be pretty traumatizing.
>>84148295
Oh, oobee doo

I wanna walk like you

Nothing, because catering to Muslims is the media flavor of the month.
>>84150067
Are you implying there were alligator people with alligator money who were visiting the park as legitimate alligator tourists with their alligator families and alligator children getting alligator caricature pictures drawn of them where their alligator heads are stuck on a human person and now they're getting kicked out?
>>84150074
>even hunting animals can pretty messy sometimes
bullets fuck things up
like really, REALLY fuck things up
it must be horrible living with yourself after shooting a person, knowing what a bullet does to living animal. It's bad enough shooting the animal, would never do it for sport.

>>84148535
>Why do we live in a culture of fear?
because fear and hate are far more powerful motivators than love and compassion
>>84150152
To be fair I would consider that shot more humane.
Yeah, it's gory, but the deer didn't suffer at all. What's bad are the people who hunt and don't realize that you're supposed to aim for the heart or head so that the deer doesn't suffer, and instead shoot them in the stomach and let them sit and die for half an hour.
>>84149480
It better be temporary. If all this shit is still gone 10 years from now when nobody but the kid's parents remembers they can just go fuck themselves. But I'm a poorfag and will never get to go anyway.
>>84149762
THIS. I seriously don't get why people are either super overprotective of their children or don't give a shit and literally there seems to be no in between. Gators show up in peoples pools sometimes are people really stupid enough to not watch their two year old in the water? I'm surprised he didn't drown honestly.
>>84148295
They have as much a right to be there as anyone else.
>>84149480
>Disney and Pixar now begin working on a new film with an alligator protagonist who goes on an adventure with his loud mouthed and endearing croc buddy from down under
You know, I was reading the article and this thread. There honestly is someone to blame.
The Parents.
The article even states that there were barriers and signs warning of alligators and to not go near the water.
What the fuck were those parents thinking? That is grade A negligence.
>>84149480
Sounds to me like Disney Land is run by Alligators disguised as business men.
It was only a matter of time I guess.
>>84150331
you don't leave your 2 year old kid unattended in the water, ANY water, even a blow up kiddie pool. What were they thinking
SO SADS
REMOVE CROC
THINK OF FEELINGS
>>84149826
>by removing this "joke" (I don't even see it as a joke)
It was a pun. Watch your kids or the crocs will, the implication being they'd watch them with hungry eyes.
The humor clearly reads fine.
>>84150331
>>84150384
Everyone keeps saying the child was unattended, but is that even true. I thought I had heard that the parents were right there when the gator took the kid. Which wouldn't be a surprise since it's an animal that excels in sneaking up on prey.
>>84150384They weren't
>>84150510
Yeah, the dad even tried to fight the alligator off when it got the kid.
It's just a horrible freak accident. Judgement isn't going to solve anything.
>>84150510
And I'm pretty sure the "No Swimming" signs were posted after the fact because of this.
Like seriously, this just fucking sucks and no one is really at fault here.
Disney gets rid of nuisance alligators all the time.
People chill on that beach all the time.
So much so they had a movie night at that time on that beach.
>>84150489
Of course they are animatronic so some of the humor comes from the absurdity of this claim, and some comes from the word play.
In the wake of such a tragedy while a warning could be considered useful, it would be disrespectful to have it in this format of a joke that could be perceived as making light of the situation.
>>84148433
Underrated
>>84150510
>Everyone keeps saying the child was unattended, but is that even true.
I honestly think people are just assuming that. Cause if you think about it, why would two parents willingly walk their kid up to a barricade that says "DO NOT ENTER FOR RISK OF DEATH, ALLIGATORS NEARBY", and think to themselves, "Hm, I guess that means its okay for my TINY PERFECTLY GATOR MEAL SIZED CHILD to play near the waters edge".
Any sane parent wouldn't take their child 600 feet within range of a sign or area that had warnings like that.
>>84150629
No, it was inane. What does 9/11 have to do with Aladdin? None of the terrorists were from Agrabah!

>parents are stupid and let kid die because they weren't aroundno be 10 feet away doesn't count especially with as young as kid as that

Why are most parents today such entitled shits who can't accept they are shit at parenting?

Pretty liberal there, that's kind of short

>>84150657
The warning signs were just basic "No Swimming" ones.
Disney's only now put up "Warning: Gators and Snakes probably in here" ones.
>>84150661
But don't you remember when Aladdin flew his magic carpet into the castle parapet's shouting ALI AKHBAR
>>84150692
That only works on crocodiles.
>>84150661
they're all brownskinned towelheads to me
>>84148219
I expected them to do this ever since it happened, especially with the parade stuff and maybe merchandise, so I don't see why everyone's so surprised.
Even then, some of this seems like bullshit.
>The script, known for its puns, has been in place since 1962.
No it hasn't. The crocodile line maybe, I wouldn't know since I'm not that old, but I'm pretty fucking sure they've changed the script before because they realized it was stale. IIRC there were jokes with more modern references too.
>Staff no longer claim the tour bridge could dump them into the crocodile pit below.
I definitely remember that the bridge no longer shakes when the truck crosses over it, so I'm pretty sure they stopped claiming that a long time ago. I think they made those changes when they removed the whole poaching storyline (Including the wayne brady mannequin) from the ride and made it just a regular nature tour.
>>84150754
Fuck you that's Robin Williams you're talking about there.
>>84150783
A script being in place doesn't imply it never gets revised.
>>84150819
It does if you mention that fact while talking about a revision. Otherwise it's a non-sequitor.
>>84148219
Resident Florida man wanting to point out that while gators are /really/ fucking common down here, they usually don't give a shit about humans. In fact, they probably fear us as much as we fear them. The child's feet were in the water so he probably mistook it for two fish, took a bite, and drowned the kid. Also, most tourists don't seem to think twice about gators being in water as much as us locals do. Let alone a couple from the middle of bumble fuck nowhere who have never seen a gator before, let alone know that they could be in literally any water. The tragedy of this situation is just happenstance. Wrong place at the wrong time. However, it does make sense for Disney to do what they did. They are a business and have a responsibility to make their guests feel safe. As I said before, this state is literally infested with gators, killing the ones that were at the park isn't going to do jack shit to the population.
>>84149480
Profits, my friends. Imagery that brings up bad memories reduces profits. Actually trying to do something positive in the wake of an accident will only remind people that accident happened.
It's all about the bottom line.
>>84149995
It's a materialistic thing. If no one is at fault, who am I going to sue? That alligator was fed with the fruits of my hard work and didn't even pay me for it!
>>84149769
>>84150819
Yeah, I guess that's true. It's still misleading to spice up the article but I can't call them liars about it.
>>84148219
>let's remove the gators and pretend they don't exist!
This probably isn't permanent and they'll be back within the next couple of years. It's just a PR move nobody expected them to make, but they're doing it just in case.

Yes, this scene is absolutely terrifying with its whimsical theme music and comically cartoony characters. Just look at the brave Mr Smee risk his life by valiently shooing the croc away like it's a dog.
The tic toc croc only ever ate the bad guy. He wasn't scary to the audience unless they gave too much thought to the idea of being eaten by a crocodile, which they didn't because the audience was children. Even Captain Hook is more of a comedic villain than anything and him being terrified of the croc is to play up his "cowardly codfish" nature. Peter and the kids aren't afraid of crocodiles because crocodiles aren't presented as something they should be afraid of.
This movie teaches more about how you should be afraid of mermaids and fairies than it instills fear of crocodiles.
>>84150331
Tourists are fucking dumb.
We recently had some tourists go missing from a national park nearby(relatively). Everyone was panicking and a search party was formed, found some barely alive with some still missing, etc.
reason they went missing was because they decided to go past a bunch of "NO SWIMMING, THERE'S A WATERFALL UP AHEAD YOU DUMBFUCKS" signs and go swimming on top of a waterfall.
>>84151062
I think that's kind of a hyperbole but that's probably the exact sort of thing Disney is trying to avoid. It's not so much that alligators and crocodiles are evil, it's that they don't want people to be reminded of what happened while they're in the park.
>>84151062
Remember when that kid died on the Mission to Mars ride?
>>84150218
Actually, drowning was his cause of death. It was just he only drowned because the gator dragged him under.
>>84150960
Most of the trails around geothermic features at Yellowstone use boardwalks because the ground is so fragile and brittle.
>>84150595
No Swimming signs were there beforehand, but it was more to prevent accidents involving boat traffic and because the water is probably too dirty for swimming.
>>84151062

>>84151281
I think there's a difference between that and what happened here.
The tone in this thread makes it sound like people think tumblr/SJWs/the parents are behind this when it was a decision Disney made by itself. Nobody is trying to hide the fact alligators or crocodiles exist and are dangerous (in fact Disney has put up new signs specifically about gators), it's that they don't want people coming to the park, billed as the happiest place on earth, and being reminded that a toddler had just been killed by an animal. It's not in Disney's itinerary to turn this into a lesson about how we need to watch our kids or how dangerous nature can be.

Anyone who thinks for even a second that this wasn't 100% Disney's fault should be rounded up in camps and executed. I absolutely despise people who leap to the defense of megacorporations at the expense of actual humans. I am very serious in saying that you should be fucking killed.
That said, it's retarded that they are removing the cartoon characters that had nothing to do with any of this. That's what you get with a retard-filled bureaucracy that put a monster-infested beach next to a children's event in the first place.
>>84156087
According to Disney apologists, crocodiles in Florida just spontaneously generate in any body of water. It's impossible to use fences or nets to keep them out of areas. It's also impossible to pay hillbillies to hunt and kill them. Anything that would cost Disney money is just ridiculous and unworkable, because corporate profits are the most important thing in the world.
>>84156087
I hear they get everywhere no matter what you do. Like if you leave out a dog dish too long in Florida a gator will move in.

What the fuck makes you think the child was unattended? The parents were close enough to wrestle with the thing before it got away.
Why are you bringing up a "no swimming" sign? No one was swimming. The problem wasn't the danger of swimming, the problem was MOTHERFUCKING ALLIGATORS IN THE FUCKING LAKE.
You think the parents deserved to lose a child because of Disney's incompetence? You're a fucking idiot and should be shot.

If I had to pick one word for it, it would be "entitlement."
Among these people's favorite things to say are "I paid X amount of dollars for this, so I expect to get my money's worth" when something even remotely goes wrong with their vacation plans and "but I/he/she did it before so its okay" when they want to get away with shit they know is wrong. For one reason or other they always feel owed for whatever they want with no consequences and act like the world revolves around them for the most bullshit reasons.

>>84156891
I can't believe people are actually getting pissy over Disney (probably temporarily) deciding to remove all two of their alligator/crocodile characters from the park and changing a few lines on some of the rides.
>>84156792
That's because in some places (mostly asians resorts) you get away with everything, so dumbfucks get used to it.
>>84148295
Because it was a large body of water in Florida. . .
Hell, doesn't even take a large body.
>>84148378
It's all temporary, and a lot of stuff being reported isn't even true.
>>84148429
Scripts can't just be changed like that. It's part of an Operating Guide that's protected through lots and lots of red tape. Changing the, "script," is a ton of work, and not an over-night thing, and certainly not worth it for something temporary.
And no crocodiles have been removed from rides. In fact, a bunch at the Jungle Cruise were ADDED recently after being refurbished.
Source: Jungle Skipper
>>84148578
I worked at Jungle the day after. Worrying I was going to say that -- as it's a staple of my cruise -- was physically painful.
I never did, but there's another crocs-eating-children joke that I almost dropped and caught myself.
>>84148589
This is correct. Getting in the water in Florida is like getting in the water in Australia. Sure, you'll probably be fine, but you're really risking a horrible death and have to decide if that's worth it.
>>84148675
> they have the money to keep the bodies of water next to their hotels cleared of gators
lololololol no they don't, to say nothing of the extreme means used on a recently-endangered animal that would be needed for even getting close.
>Have a team on staff checking the ponds regularly.
They do. It's Florida, and a fucking huge lake.
Stop blaming other people when victims are victims for being stupid. You don't get to go in to another ecosystem without having basic awareness of the dangers and be free of responsibility when you get literally bitten in the ass for it.
>>84148894
>There were not gators to be known in that area of the water.
You are also wrong. Gators are well known to be in the water in Florida period, and in that water specifically. We all know, we all see them, and we call them in to have them removed CONSTANTLY.
It's a very common thing. I've spent close to a decade of my life around the lake.
>>84156087
>>84153869
>>84156236
It's not a "pond". The Seven Seas Lagoon is an artificial lake bigger then the Magic Kingdom park.
The Magic Kingdom is essentially a massive two-floored structure, with the Cast Member Utilidors on true ground-level and the theme parks on the top floor. Seven Seas Lagoon is basically a big hole they made when digging out the dirt to hide the utilidors and support the park above. The Lagoon is also connected to natural water sources such as the neighboring Bay Lake.
>>84156928
/co/ doesn't like it when other people's feelings have real life influence over things they're vaguely aware of.
>>84156792
In my case it was asians who did it so its not even exclusive to entitled white familys.
>>84156944
Which brings me back to "but I did it before," which comes from the same kind of place as "but the OTHER resort let me be retarded." It's a willful ignorance that situations and policies can change for different places or different times, in favor of just getting or doing whatever the fuck they want.
>>84157147
Asians can be incredibly entitled.
>>84157016
Oh shit. THAT was where the kid died? What the fuck was he doing in that? That's the giant lake you go across on the ferry or around on the monorail. Geez.
There's no way to clear that thing of gators. You might as well try to keep birds out of the park.

>>84148295
There are gators in the parks too. There are a bunch of little ones in the Tom Sawyer island lake at Magic Kingdom. That's why there's mesh on the docks and fences around the island. There are some bigger ones behin Jungle Cruise across the train tracks. You can usually see one or two by the Snow White decorations from the train. There are also little ones in Seven Seas Lagoon and he lake behind Tower of Terror at Hollywood Studios
They cold easily get into the Animal Kingdom waterways until work on the night time show started
>>84157319
>There's no way to clear that thing of gators
I see one, maybe two inlets to the natural water.
Construct a dam and have some gator wranglers patrol the waters, and gator levels will plummet.
>>84156789
Do you like playing your character? It's okay if you don't want to say who.
>>84148971
This. It happens in the Magic Kingdom, too. When alligators show up in the Rivers of America, guests buy turkey legs and throw them to the gators.
To that point, there seems to be this, "Disney just ignores it," story going around that is patently false. Gator removal is serious and constant business, and talking to guests who feed gators is, too.
>>84149342
To be fair, he wasn't allowed to do that, anyway. We're pretty strictly not supposed to go off script.
Also, reiterating: script wasn't changed. That's a widely-reported myth.
>>84149826
Well, it didn't happen, so you're good. Skippers haven't been saying it out of preference to avoid controversy over recent events, but no script changes.
>>84149995
Thank you. This is really, really unfortunate, and the family probably should have known better, but mostly it's just an awful freak accident.
>>84150331
There were no barriers.
>>84150595
The signs weren't posted after the fact. They were already there.
>>84150783
I didn't see the, "since 1962," line. That's laughable. It gets little changes here and there every few years, and the ride is a 1971 version that merely has a lot in common with one built in 1955.
The crocodile bridge never shaked, that's a different bridge. And when that bridge isn't shaking, it's because it's not working properly, not anything intentional.

>>84156087
It's an alligator, not a crocodile, get your shit straight.
Gators are native and as common as rats. Crocs are non-native and currently low in number.
I wait for the day when they share the same waters, and eventually breed with one another.
>>84157368
The script is altered every year or two, anyway. In small ways, but they add up over time.
That said, it hasn't been altered since the incident.
