We've been at DLP since the Saturday before the official re-opening and first off - the improvements are amazing. Love the new music and special FX at the lift hill and the whole market scene is great.
However, this week the swinging pirate wasn't swinging anymore one day, the two chasing pairs just after the market scene stood still, as did the dueling pirates.
The swinging and chasing ones have been fixed but the dueling scene got closed off with a curtain yesterday.
I understand technology sometimes falters but it is really a shame this happens so quickly after such a long time of renovation.
(Similar: I must have been on BTM over a 100 times since it reopened but have never seen the smoke effect on the third hill).

It's frustrating but I do understand that until it's running 12 hours a day 7 days a week, you don't really know how it will hold up. They just don't test it in such a way that can replicate that. Unless there's a underlying issue (BtM, I'm looking at you), these issues normally get solved fairly quickly as they figure out what's vulnerable under long term use.

I think I read somewhere that new rides or renovations at Disney tend to break down more than old ones, which is interesting because you think it would be the other way round.

The additions are not as numerous as I expected. Everything new ties in very well with the rest. But is it just me or did the second drop become lower? I somehow remember it going deeper down and at a faster speed
