Title: Draining the River - what will they find?
Post by: A&S&O on August 26, 2015, 10:30:29 PM
When the drain the river around Thunder Mountain, I wonder how many caps, cameras and pair of sunglasses they will find?!

What's the most unusual thing you think they'll find?

Hopefully NOT a body!

I hope it won't be as bad as cleaning the canals in Amsterdam, but for sure they will find some personal items and maybe mostly garbage that people either threw in there on purpose or flew in their by accident.

That would be quit the story if that would happen! But let's hope that is not the case.

Gets my vote, definitely the vanishing groom, or maybe a pumpkin man that's fallen off that structure they put up connecting Thunder Messa and BTM at Halloween

It would be quite cool if they put on a display of the more unusual items, maybe also a display of all the rubbish people have thrown in as a way of saying "Come on people, respect the park", I'm sure their will be a mass of rubbish.
How about if they find cameras a display of any photo's that are retrievable, obviously not any that are personal photo's. The river must be a real time capsule in many ways.

Quick question, when is the lake scheduled to be drained again? I keep on forgetting *hangs head*.

I think a display of any unusual items is a great idea!
I'll bet on sunglasses, hats and ordinary glasses.

November 2nd.

I know a lot of wildlife has grown in the river, so I hope they'll save them...

That'll be why some of the restaurant menus are changing.

Lol! ;D

Sounds a bit like Epcot, where their restaurants serve fish which have been breeded at 'Living With the Land'.

The same goes for a fair amount of the vegetables served in the various parks.
The Living with the Land greenhouses are quite extensive, and very productive (did a behind the scenes tour in May, there's more than you'd think).

Probably a massive amount of small animals that live in the water and are gonna die because of the draining. Also a lot of seaweed.
If I just think about how many there are in our small pond in the garden which "developed" on their own...

November is early...and cold. I would have thought they'd wait through winter in order not to risk any pipes freezing or being damaged by frozen water

Once they've drained the river they don't have to worry about frozen pipes... I guess... ;)
