I guess the lawyers must of gotten to the park yet again.
I wonder if that railing lowers and raises like Indy?

I dont even remember rails being on there

I noticed them on Sunday. I figured they must raise out of the water.. But I don't see how that could be done?? I know they weren't there!

Those railings have been there since day one, they are normally folded down, and are only raised if they need to evacuate guests, or have staff work on the track.....

Since the trains are not running, might as well leave the railing up for the inspectors and maintenance folks to do their work.....

They are always visable (never in the water), but they can fold down to the same level as the top of the track, which is their normal position.

Ahh, that makes sense! Thanks!

Those must be the things that are usually at a slant, like in This Picture

Aha!

Lots of attractions have those. They're called deployable barriers and remain down during normal operation. But when a ride emergency stops or at the end of the night, or when someone steps out of a buzz lightyear vehicle and trips a sensor, etc they rise to make walking around the track safer.
