Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Fun Fact all the Fort little boats are Morgan sailboats hulls Fun fact #2-(according to a boat CM on a recent visit) the railings around the seating area of the boat, while appearing to be made of wood, are actually really hard rubber. After being told this, I felt- and I think he was telling me the truth. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Travisma 1,317 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Has anyone posted pictures of the waves at the Poly? The wave machine eroded the Poly beach so much, that they only turned it on for TV specials. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PoorGABoy 4 Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Has anyone posted pictures of the waves at the Poly? The wave machine eroded the Poly beach so much, that they only turned it on for TV specials.Back to the wave machine question.......does anybody have pictures of this in action? I tried to search, but couldn't find any. I would imagine with the wealth of Fiend Knowledge- somebody has this info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are lots of blogs that cover the history of the Polynesian Resort's wave machine. This one has photos and a concise synopsis: http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2011/11/18/why-for-did-wdw-wave-quot-buh-bye-quot-to-seven-seas-lagoon-s-wave-machine.aspx TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 I'm really confused by this picture. I've always heard that the utilidors were at ground level and MS was second floor. In this pic it looks like the utilidors are in the basement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In this pic it looks like the utilidors are in the basement. it might be just the perspective based upon the piles of dirt in the background. I don't think they could have put them in "the basement"....or they would fill with water in central FL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
