I have not ridden the Teacups since a few months ago. -- The limit on the individual spin capacity was still clamped tight. -- I could make the cup begin to pick up some spin, but in a few seconds, the resistence slowed it right back down. It cycled from loose, to tight, and back again.
I did (visually) monitor the Teacups in a follow up visit, to see if anyone (adult males who have the arm strenth) could make their teacup spin like in the olden days.
But I saw no one really cranking.
So I assumed that the same tease (loose; tight; loose; tight; "cycle") was still in effect.
Have they loosened up the restraints, since the buckle-down, since?
I remember picking up a tip. -- Back then, while I was standing in line at JUNGLE CRUISE, I saw a Disneyand employee reading the employee newsletter (what is the name of that newsletter?), and from where I was standing in line, I read a snippet of one article that DL management was considering "loosening up" the teacups back to their old high-velocity capability.
What's the scoop?
("Take tea and see!")
