Luigi's Flying Tires: Now without balls
Posted
The ride that puts visitors on giant tires that float on a cushion of air opened in June with dozens of colorful beach balls that bounced on and between the floating tires. (Often they bounced on the riders, as well.) The balls apparently slowed down the process of loading and unloading visitors from the ride, making the wait for Luigi's Flying Tires longer, so Disney removed them.

So, Disney is saying that capacity is more important than experience? Blasphemy! ;)

I think that depends. Castrating the ride isn't causing a fundemental change to the experience, so instead of complicating matters, just get rid of the balls. The experience is still pretty much the same.
Given the line lengths that I've heard for the ride, something needed to be done. Maybe a no-single-riders rule, or add more cars (boats?).
Oh, and definitely lose the balls!
Sounds like a personal problem. Luigi should have that looked at.

I'd rather be hit in the head with a beach ball than a Goodyear tire.
I'm sheriff of this here rollercoaster.
