Carousel of Progress. Do you think it should have seat belts?

[Goofyernmost]

You are probably right, sadly. The world is sadly no longer idiot-proof. and never really was, only now its far more obvious.

What it needs to be is thoughtless entitlement rudeness proofed!

I believe when they built "Meet the World" in Tokyo Disneyland (originally meant for EPCOT), they had a similar layout but the stages moved instead of the theater seats. Sadly, I never got to see that show in person.

Meet the World and the other Japanese animatronic carousel show, Andersen Theater differ drastically from Carousel of Progress and America Sings as they only have four theaters as opposed to six and the placement of the seating and stages are switched. After Ms. Stone's tragic demise, Disney altered future carousel theaters. The carousel theater that was planned for The Land only had five theaters and when Meet the World debuted at Tokyo, Disney sent safety documents, fearful that something similar to Deborah's death would happen.

Europa park had a carousel theater attraction

I had a friend that once worked at the attraction. When someone leaves in the middle of the show, it sets off an alarm on the operating console. The Cast Member has to walk around the entire building to verify that it is clear before they can resume rotations. Depending on when that guest decides to leave and how quickly the Cast Member can make it around the building within the 5 minutes between rotating is often times why you end up sitting in the same scene twice.

The situation often repeats because another guest will get up and leave out of impatience or to go report that there is a malfunction. 2 or more skipped show rotations and they said it results in choas with multiple people leaving to the point that they usually just have to exit everyone out and start over.
