I have had that when a ride goes tech during the window (although the carve outs are usually extensive) but when a ride closed before my trip I have got a replacement FP on my account.

Only happened once though so maybe I was just unlucky.

As alluded to earlier. It's not that the animatronic is intermittently broken so it sometimes doesn't work. It's because the weight and huge forces involved were cracking the structure making it unsafe to operate at any time.

I say it's a moving light shadow. I have to take people's word for it. The only time I plucked up the courage to go on, I closed my eyes, screamed and (ashamedly) swore all the way round. I am a 100% wuss. That's me top right of the ride vehicle.

Still makes me laugh

So looks like about 3 or 4 months notice is given before closure of major rides
I hope that this is the case!

That was me. Once you know when it's coming you can see it, but it's amazing how something so huge is so easily missed and so many times
