Thanks Capt.  Still in recovery mode and sorry I missed you in Paris. I hope I am wrong, but I suspect they are gone.

Reibi, I agree, and at DLP they were particularly good as there was a hidden cave and some rapids areas. I only rode them once, but I remember people misbehaving and using language barriers as an excuse. I suspect this, as well as budgets are the reason they are gone.

Hidden caves? Where abouts Dave?

Under big thunder mountain - between the ride and the waterfall - the canoes would go past them and the falls, encounter rapids and then you would go through the arch.

I hope they are open as we go on the 25th  February and would love to ride the keel-boats again

I fear they will never be in operation again, if i recall correctly there was an accident with the attraction in one of the American parks. Since then, the attraction basically has been banned from all the parks.

Yeah, I think one set on fire!

One of the boats in California capsized. No fire was involved. Also, the accident happened 10 years before the DLP attraction was put back in operation again in 2007 so it's unlikely to be the reason for its current closure.

No Keelboat has caught fire, but Molly Brown caught fire in 2005, forcing her evacuation.  The Keelboat were used to evacuate her

Sure, but that has nothing to do with the Keelboats' closure.

A few websites have falsely assumed that the event caused their reopening in 2007. Even when the attraction isn't operating, at least one Keelboat is kept ready in case a Riverboat or BTM needs to be evacuated by water.

True, I was correcting an inaccurate post and pointing out where the confusion may lay with regard to keelboats and their involvement with fire!

[Ceh]

I had no ideas this attraction existed, after quote some visits to the parc. Could someone give me an update about this ride? :-) I suppose it is gone and forgotten by now ..?
