Triggers nostalgia you say?
Gonna grab me some bromine and a paper bag brb

Sweet, sweet bromine.
Fracture_98 t1_j5q3yw9 wrote
Smell triggers nostalgia, not bromine specifically. The smell of bromine treated water brings back memories of Disney water rides for a lot of people. Unfortunately for me, I just remember "It's a Small World", and then that damn song gets stuck in my head for ages.

It will be the same water when it reopens as a Princess and the Frog ride

Actually I’m willing to bet the ride gets drained, since you know, they’re completely redoing it

I don’t understand the obsession with this ride.

Went to Disney for the first time last year. The line for that ride was 3 hours long. After barely moving for 30 minutes I convinced my daughter it would not be worth the wait.
bucketsoffunk t1_j5otsvg wrote
Space Mountain is worth the wait. Gotta go when it first opens so you only wait 1 hour
mvdonkey t1_j5ou3ft wrote
Yeah, we skipped that one and the tower of terror as well. Had to go during April vacation, so the park was packed.
mitch8893 t1_j5pog63 wrote
no ride is worth that wait. with no line, almost any ride is enjoyable. space mountain is definitely better, especially if you get the front seats

You just described most if not all of the rides at Disney
NetDork t1_j5qilt5 wrote
Damn, guess it's good that the last time I went there was 1994 when you could get through the line and still have time to do other stuff that day.
taptapper t1_j5rh6w0 wrote
Me too! Around 1995 I think. We got discount tickets from locals and spent a week doing all the rides, parks, experiences. water parks and Universal with no stress. Before half of Universal was wiped out by hurricanes. Even stayed on property. Nothing like how people talk about going there today

Space Mountain >>>>>
KazkaFaron t1_j5qgitf wrote
dude space mountain was so fucking awesome, it's like a combo black crazy water slide + rollercoaster, so metal.
i went there after it became star wars land and that ride was lame as shit, like ok, a shitty indoor coaster, sounds effects and projectors? congrats.
and the fact that they made that building stop spinning??? madness
MustacheSmokeScreen t1_j5ra6id wrote
Water slide?
KazkaFaron t1_j5s61ut wrote
D-do you not know what a waterslide slide is? How about a water park?
MustacheSmokeScreen t1_j5s6tfa wrote
What is waterslide-like a out Space Mountain? It's a janky indoor coaster. It always was.
JediTrainer42 t1_j5po1ey wrote
It’s one of their better “Dark Rides” with an actual thrill ride aspect baked into it. It also has a fun soundtrack. Also, nostalgia.
BeachyGreen t1_j5pz12w wrote
Yeah, I rode it a few weeks ago and the animatronic characters are well past their prime; plus the indoor section smelled moldy and musty.
Olangotang t1_j5xvf3b wrote
Blame Disney upkeep for that. Tokyo's version is IMMACULATE.
All of Magic Kingdom is slowly rotting.

Trying to figure out the angel Tucker Carlson will latch onto for a tirade about this on his show. Gotta be some anti-woke angle here to leverage that faux outrage. I'm guessing it'll hinge on Tiana being not-white.

I can understand keeping some for yourself because you were there when it existed, and you know it's genuine and you'll have a good memory to look back on. I can't understand why anyone else would want it. There's no way to verify it's authenticity. For all you know you could be buying pool water someone shoved in a jar and called "Splash Mountain water"

The real The Onion but Not the Onion story would be if "People Are Buying 'Splash Mountain Water' on eBay After Permanent Ride Closure at Magic Kingdom".

Why tf are thy closing splash mountain though?
jdb1984 OP t1_j5pom2b wrote
The movie the ride was based on is racist, so it's being rethemed to be based on The Princess and the Frog.

Fracture_98 t1_j5ngbxn wrote
Well, Disney uses bromine instead of chlorine to keep the water clean. That has a distinct smell and smell triggers nostalgia. I can see the idea behind this, but the scam prices are laughable.
(Edit: they use it because it's safer to handle in large quantities, easier on skin and clothes, and performs much better keeping the water clean. It's more expensive than chlorine which is why pools rarely use it.)
