At the end of this article: http://www.mouseplanet.com/david/dk040211.htm it says:


Rafts
The single-operator Rafts reported a few weeks ago evidently were just a “test.”

According to one insider, “Management has to look over new procedures and modifications that have to be done to the rafts to make it 'safe.' The scheduled start date for this operation is said to be some time in February. Ride operators are fighting this, with attractions management not listening.”



What ride does this refer to?

The rafts that go to Tom Sawyer's Island? I can't think of any other rafts in the Resort.

David is talking about the rafts to Tom Sawyer Island. We reported in the January 19 Disneyland Resort Update (http://www.mouseplanet.com/parkupdates/dlr/dlr040119.htm) that some managers in sttractions were considering running the TSI rafts with a single operator, as is done at WDW, rather than two as has been the norm at Disneyland.

Oh yes - I remember reading about making those rafts 1 player - I mean one operator rafts instead of two.

For the life of me - I was trying to think of a water ride with a raft and was drawing a blank.
