White Christmas 2021

Forgive me if this is stupid question, but how can individual seats be out of commission on so many trains on so many different rides? Are these design flaws, vandalism or just neglect? It seems a bit weird, I don't ever remember this ever being a thing on rides or roller coasters back in the day late 90's, early 2000's when I visited the GC theme parks almost once a month.

Could be as simple as a limit switch/sensor is malfunctioning and needs replacing, and they don't have the parts/staff to do it.

My speculation is that in the 90s it was a dumb ratchet mechanism, and now its hydraulic harnesses and electronic monitoring, so more to break.

The park doesn’t mess around removing everything Christmas related. Everything except the roof lights has been taken down.

I'm surprised they didn't leave it up for Christmas eve?

These decorations were taken down after the final night of White Christmas concluded.

After finishing a shift at 10pm, we saw a crane transfer the large White Christmas sign that hung from the top of the undercover thingo down main street towards the back of the park. Meanwhile multiple staff were busy pulling down loose-hanging decorations.
