Why do guys always want to fault Disney for doing their jobs? They are working on it and here you are complaining that the issue is being addressed.

Especially because many new things at EPCOT are breaking and have been broken for some time now, with absolutely no clear intention to fix

The problem is Disney has a HORRIBLE track record on this. If they didn't no one would really care that it was down for maintenance.

Let's look on the bright side, its job security for the maintenance workers......... Until Disney decides its costing too much to keep going ;)

Indeed. Other things which stopped working are already fixed. It's easy to hear about things when they break, but getting fixed rarely gets the same attention. Then people think everything about it is broken.

They are fixing it and that is all that matters. 🙄

I don't think this should distract from the fact that it is broken...already. I believe there are other parts that are also already broken and disabled. It's not the first thing in the new Epcot that has quickly broken. But why would it be ok for complexity and reliability to mutually exclusive? Has WDI gotten so bad that they can't produce anything complicated that won't fail after only a couple of months of routine use?

OK. We knew the complex show elements in this children's water walk through attraction would have failures intermittently.

No, your weird obsession with a standard sanitary requirement of any water recreation facility says nothing about the complexity or reliability of the interactive show elements.

We knew this attraction would have failures intermittently from the look of the complex, massive water treatment plant/pump station, next to this attraction, on stage, hidden by shrubs.
