Maybe the DE (Drone Eradicator) was tied up somewhere else!

I can see why they don't want people flying them around (besides secrets) because of liability issues.

I say a video of someone getting hit pretty hard by a drone that was out of control.  Some of the more professional ones are a pretty good size.

I was at a stop light a while back and a guy was flying one over the road.  When he was bringing it back he hit a pole guy wire and the thing blew apart when it hit the ground.

We are straying off topic here (what else is new?), but I swore I heard on the news that you had to have a license from the FAA to fly a drone.

No?

You don't need a license but are now required to register the drone as long as the operator uses it strictly for recreation. If it is under 1/2 lb there is not a registration requirement at all. If you are operating the drone for business it requires a remote pilot airman certificate. There are other restrictions for non-licensed operators such as line of site but I suspect few will know about these or bother learning.

Good thing you got those screen shots, his post has gone POOF on Instagram.

Wow, you're right, all of his Disney World photos disappeared.

I wonder what happened to the Phantom?

Maybe he's a Castmember and the Mouse got to him?

Here's another photo of the old River Country pool full of dirt courtesy of Instagram:

And here's a screen grab in case the photo poofs:

Very strange to see the old pool looking like that after all of these years.

TCD, thanks for the photos.  We tried to get back there to check it out yesterday, but the path was roped off.

I wonder if they would consider re-purposing the area for use in the near future.
One idea i have is to make it a larger playground, you already have a few slides and the stairs built for them, maybe a lil revamp, 

themed river country play ground/ play area 

 

a boy can dream right?!

Here's a re-hijack. When I was young, you could buy one of those wrist sling shots at Kmart.  Not that I would have participated, but I bet young kids would have used them to thin the drone herd. There would have been risks too, but what an epic battle.

They still sell those sling shots
