“the gondola ride being removed”
When I worked there, some @$$h0le tried to sue, because he “fell” out, when he “accidentally” opened the gondola door. Pretty difficult to do, since there was no door handle, on the inside.
Sure enough, a German tourist had been videotaping at the exact same time, and it showed the potential plaintiff reaching out, opening the external handle, and falling into one of only two tall trees, along the route.
The Disney lawyers figured it still wasn’t worth the risk, and it was removed, shortly there after....
Interesting - thanks for the back story!
