Visible (Sort of) Backstage Question

[avenueqpat]

Hey There CM's.

I was at WDW this past week, and at the Magic Kingdom they were doing some kind of work on the castle.

Now.....I was urious about what was on the back of an open door, and tried to get a picture, but it ended up really blurry.

I figure since it was open, and I got a shot, that it would be fair game to ask what was on it - (and realizing that I may not get any info or nobody knows :D:)

The shot was taken from the left side of the front of the castle.

I am not an expert on the layout, but it looks to me like you got a really blurry shot of an exit!

hehehehe

If i remember right from the last time i stalked Cinderella... that is a access door to some of the pyro launchers.....

That, is a door that leads right to CRT. The seaters (and some of the stewards) use that door to store items (dangerously and wrongly) outside.

On a side note, I'd love to know WHEN the picture was taken. maybe i can finally persuade my managers to keep that door locked at all times.

One pyro effect misfiring and burning anything stored out there will probably correct that situation.:rolleyes: I'm sure that your pyros have to do show reports and they would not like to put the castle in jeopardy because of something being stored out there.

You could always point out to your manager that the door is visible from onstage and it is distracting to the guests. It could be very ugly in a vacation photo since the castle get photographed from every angle the guests can get to.

and here is a shot of cindy's slaves feeding the royal court guests.

That door is bad show. I believe it should be closed at all times. :eek:

[Moonliner]

IIRC, the sign on the door itself cautions about entering the area during the fireworks show. It is similar to the one on the door leading to the Utilidor behind Snow White and Pooh.

Oh, and the work they were doing was completing the removal of the Christmas Dream lights.

Castle already caught fire once this holliday season.....

[turkeyham]

How do you catch the Castle on fire? I have never thought it could be done. I thought it is hosed down afterwards?

:eek:

[Mayonnaise]

How do you hose down something covered in Christmas lights? Electrical fire anyone?

I know when Cinderellabration was playing, they had to stop using the pyro for a bit (the gold stuff on the towers kept catching on fire).

Short burst of water. But if the electrician did his job, and they short out, the breaker should trip at the power distribution box.

[turkeyham]

I think they can water down areas after fireworks.
I have seen a thunder storm after Wishes at WDW.
Nothing caught on fire. :cool:

Let's Think....It was on Wed January 14th....Mid-Afternoon - I would say about 3 or 4 PM? I only was looking up there trying to see if I could find a decent shot without the crane while they were (I assume) repainting, and was curious about it.

Where's the fun in that. :rolleyes:

[Doctor McKey]

From what i have been told by fellow Monorail cast, during the showing of Holiday Wishes, one of the pyros caught the suite on fire. this is all i now

[turkeyham]

I remember a few years back at Disneyland, the fireworks in front of the castle for the 50th caught a christmas tree on fire. It was one of the pin wheels and it tipped over and nailed the tree. No damafe to the castle. :eek:
