Disneyland Park in Anaheim, Calif., plans to close down the It's a Small World attraction for a 10-month renovation because the waterway boats are getting stuck. Loads that are heavier than those anticipated 43 years ago, when the ride opened, are causing the craft to bottom out. When there's a stuck boat, staff must go back into the attraction and lighten the load by asking one or two passengers to leave the boat. This is not happening because today's park patrons are getting fatter, Disneyland insists. The boats get stuck because "layers and layers" of thick glass-fibre have built up where maintenance teams have repeatedly repaired them. To avoid any hard feelings, customers who are asked to leave a boat are presented with food vouchers.

It's because the patrons aren't getting fatter sure...........
Layers and layers of thick glass fiber? I'd be really offended if I was the Disney repair guy who worked with the fiberglass patches, which is very thin and has to be sanded smooth before a new patch is laid on top of it. But Disney had to spin it to make their customers feel better, I commend them for such a creative answer.
