Terrorists indeed. - BCC 4640.6 #5 7:42PM
I am a sad MWer. I wonder if we can sneak them in like at dodger games - Villescas8(V8) 589.1 #185 7:58PM

Wonder what kind of attraction Disney will replace it with? - ScooterMike
1959.8 #35 4:24PM
Sooo true... - BambooMike 121.8 #2698 5:25PM
Might as well bring back the Maliboomer - ScubaSteve028 811.0 #114 5:30PM
At least we have Maters Junkyard Jamboree. - ScooterMike 1959.8 #35 5:46PM
The overdue beer garden? - BCC 4640.6 #5 7:41PM
Beer garden would be nice. Perhaps some local microbrews. - ScooterMike 1959.8 #35 8:01PM
They need to make the tires smaller, about the same size as the old flying saucers and it will work better. - splashphotoCM 880.9 #101 9:58PM
Someone was asking for a hookah lounge awhile back. Maybe he will get his wish ! - Missshelly 690.3 #147 10:44PM
I asked a cast member about the balls being gone, they said to many people got injuries and many broke there glasses and stuff of that nature then they did a trial with the balls just on the floor and people still complained. What wusses! Lol jk. 😜 - AndieHawkins
338.4 #439 6:25PM
I agree with u they are wusses people complain way too much - princessVanessa 382.5 #352 6:39PM
If guests got hurt from them, they will be gone. Safety is always and will always be the top priority - BaseballMickey_CM 2849.3 #15 6:42PM
@BBMCM exactly - dlmickeymouseCM 2350.4 #27 7:07PM
How about blame the jerks who abused them and HIT people in the face on purpose. I almost threw down with some 🐴🔴 on there for spiking a ball into my face on purpose. He's lucky it hit me and not my daughter. - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 7:14PM
Yeah... it's unfortunate. I rather have Red's water back. Water never hurt anyone... WOC, or GRR ANYONE?! - BCC 4640.6 #5 7:41PM
They should just leave the air jets on and get rid of the hovering tires, to let people walk through there and cool off... - BambooMike
121.8 #2698 5:55PM
I remember way back when this attraction had balls! I feel so old!! - davetyee
331.7 #463 5:32PM
Lol me too! - LoveDisneyDucklings 28.6 #4438 6:08PM
You could have all the oversized beach balls in the world and the attraction would still be boring! That is why the balls we added after testing, to try and liven it up... It did not work out so well. But look on the bright side, when it gets shuttered Luigi's Flying Tires can be on display at Mater's Junkyard Jamboree! This same concept was already tried in 1961 at the Tommrand Terrace "Flying Sauscer" ride which closed 4 years latter. Some time even the best Disney imagineering forget to read up on Disney history? - Elfie
104.4 #2980 5:48PM
You know everything! - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 7:15PM
That's true - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 7:40PM
Saw them repaint the walls over and over again. - BCC 4640.6 #5 7:40PM
I knew that attraction looked familiar. When I went to the Disney Family Museum in SF, they have a huge replica of the park, and there was a ride that looked exactly like Luigi's. Thanks Elfie! I knew I wasn't imagining things. =) - iloveprinceEric 219.5 #1362 7:41PM
The very beloved "Flying Saucers" were fast and the beach balls small. If you didn't lean to move the saucer would hop on the air and at times some tipped over. Bring the fast back. - starleet 59.5 #3579 8:35PM
took me 1 ride to get the hang of it, and 1 ride to realize it really was fun. too bad complainers know how to ruin the fun. It's DISNEYLAND, people need to learn to lighten up and just have fun. I predict this will last about a year before they decide to replace it with something else... - Mandathewitch
355.6 #401 6:58PM
That stinks. We didn't even get to ride with them yet. I was really looking forward to it. I think we should start a petition to bring them back. - MikeyMouse
63.8 #3510 7:06PM
That's the problem in America. Stupid people are allowed to procreate. Then they don't teach their kids how to act when in public, and they ruin it for everyone. - LittleAprilShowers
471.0 #257 7:27PM
Not just America... Would have been nice to see this once live. - proudcanuck 476.4 #250 7:28PM
@las preach on lady!!! - CourtyAstroBlisters 439.9 #282 7:33PM
I thought the balls were fun...but I admit I would have been super mad if someone hit me in the face on purpose or even worse one of my kids...! - MinnieMousewife
570.3 #194 9:45PM
I hear you!! - adisneyfamily 496.1 #241 10:14PM
Soooo what are we supposed to do with no balls?😞 - loved26LovesDLand
164.3 #2098 4:27PM
Conversate. Have a cup of tea. - ScubaSteve028 811.0 #114 4:32PM
OMG I hate "conversate" with a passion! - cesium55 529.7 #216 9:41PM
I'm now legitimately upset that I didn't go on this ride when the balls were there. I really wanted to play with Luigi's balls :( - Slotherini
886.9 #99 4:42PM
Me too :( - annjay07 134.6 #2526 5:27PM
Same - Gabster1 200.0 #1630 7:24PM
Same here! Is the ride even fun now? - CinderellasMom 264.5 #876 7:25PM
Now the question is..... What did they do with the balls??? Where are they keeping them and who do we need to bribe to get em out!!! - iloveprinceEric
219.5 #1362 4:50PM
Maybe they'll sell them at Company D ;) - iamdugsmaster 756.8 #133 5:18PM
Or they'll magically be a RAK one day. Yeah yeah I know it's not a RAK if you ask. =) LOL - iloveprinceEric 219.5 #1362 7:44PM

1798.4 #42 9:18PM
Now I'll have to wear a dress to get some excitement there..😜 - MarshaMouse
2835.6 #16 10:39PM
Ha! Totally just pictured a Marilyn Monroe moment. - LittleAprilShowers 471.0 #257 10:49PM
Uh, my plastic surgeon said that I couldn't participate in an activity where balls are flying at my nose.... - Sharkgrrl19
202.9 #1584 11:32PM
YES!! Love that movie :D - DownTheRabbitHole 310.2 #558 11:52PM
Ehhh. Just use imaginary beach balls. - Tomorrowland
66.5 #60 11:45PM
I can only blame myself.. - CptKirk
697.0 #141 12:24AM
I think we should arrange a mass MWer protest in front of City Hall.
Get all the news channels to support us.
Also the Presidential candidates need to tell us where they stand on the Balls or No Balls Issue. - radiatorsprings
272.6 #806 7:49AM
This is a sad day in History for Luigi's. - Armenda
993.6 #89 4:18PM
Bummer, I had such a memorable flight with those balls and my sister wife. 😂😂😂😂😂 - bluefairy
627.1 #174 4:19PM
I would think it would be really hard to share balls with a sister wife. - LittleAprilShowers 471.0 #257 7:39PM
That's why I smacked it out of her hands. 😁 - bluefairy 627.1 #174 11:40PM
😠 grrrrr arrrgggggghhhhh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 - veronica619 517.1 #225 11:54PM
"you're meeeeeean!!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 - bluefairy 627.1 #174 6:41PM
Wow! Looks desolate... yesterday there were only a few of the large balls left on the ride.. Aww, the ride looks sad now. - Goofdog
169.8 #2012 4:20PM
Boo no balls!!! I spy your mom floating there!! Stay cool!! - Willierose
1186.6 #68 4:20PM
She says hi! =] - AndieHawkins 338.4 #439 6:20PM
RIP to Luigis Phun Balls! - PrinceTeaJack
786.3 #119 4:20PM
They should use smaller balls - Rob512
755.1 #134 4:24PM
What's the point of this ride now D: - Jenniferr
428.0 #295 4:26PM
It was bound to happen. Sorry to see them go, they helped to make some great pictures. - Linzee
516.5 #226 4:27PM
So it's like bumper cars now??? I wonder how fast you can plow into someone??? - iloveprinceEric
219.5 #1362 4:27PM
pretty fast if you start from across the floor. :) - Goofy4Art 203.8 #1576 5:14PM
i wonder how many guests will now feel inadequate without them. :/ - nicoleface
1248.2 #65 4:34PM
sad day! - NethBeeyore
332.4 #458 4:36PM
This thread is full of Win. - fabian777
272.8 #802 4:37PM
The ride seems silly without them! - jariel
176.0 #1914 4:46PM
Will I get escorted out if I smuggle some balls in? - Roto
242.9 #1075 5:12PM
Boo. I never had balls. - PrincessDuckie
587.8 #187 5:15PM
I'm glad I got to experience you one time, dear balls. You will be missed. - aidensmama
336.5 #445 5:17PM
Boo. We loved the balls. - klterzian
5.3 #9966 5:24PM
sad day - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint
1798.4 #42 5:25PM
Boo wonder why? We were looking for them this morning ;( glad we were able to get those in pictures last month - Dfans4evea
39.0 #4026 5:30PM
Aww man, I didn't even get around to riding it yet! Doesn't look a fun with out the balls.. :/ - RomyVentura
168.1 #2031 5:34PM
I'm just glad I got to play with the balls one time..They will be missed. - Sharkgrrl19
202.9 #1584 5:35PM
It just got even worst. The fun is gone! - Goofy24
115.9 #2798 5:48PM
I am in minority, but the balls were always annoying to me. People were to busy worried about the balls than trying to move the tire. I could actually get the tire to go pretty fast when I just ignored the balls. - BillE
340.7 #429 5:50PM
Hard to ignore Luigi's balls! They're so big! - davetyee 331.7 #463 5:56PM
That was the entire reason to ride it - timbo426
144.9 #2368 5:53PM
I enjoyed beaning my family in the heads with the balls. But I might be the minority...... - leftmyheartinwonderland
272.5 #808 5:55PM
Nope. I was beaning strangers last night, though. Kind of awkward. - FantasmicFan82 173.3 #1949 6:00PM
I was too scared to hit total strangers. But that didn't stop total strangers from hitting me. All in good fun I guess but unfortunately some people don't see it that way. - leftmyheartinwonderland 272.5 #808 6:08PM
Without the beach balls, what's the point?!? So very sad! The beach balls made the attraction. Maybe it was just too hot for the beach balls? - MoonWillow
367.6 #377 6:11PM
59 days. tisk.tisk. - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint
1798.4 #42 6:13PM

dagnabbit I knew I should of went on before I left. - MissBunny
231.8 #1216 6:18PM
Nooo! I wish I had the chance to ride it with them! I get the reasoning but still. I wonder if they can put up a disclaimer or something before people ride it. - amandabeth
256.3 #939 7:16PM
is that a Yesterland record? - camplkc
4.8 #10952 7:18PM
Red's water was removed 2 weeks in. That's a record. - BCC 4640.6 #5 7:34PM
So now is it just like bumper cars? Didn't get to experience it before they took them away :/ - disneykimmi
115.7 #2801 7:23PM
No words just a sad sigh - MarshaMouse
2835.6 #16 7:26PM
Awww man! I didn't even get to ride before they took them out 😞 - LBChica
1500.3 #52 7:31PM
Me either :( Just missed 'em by 42 days! - GibsonGirl87 281.3 #721 7:35PM
Me neither :/ - Addiction 55.3 #3646 7:39PM
Me either. My daughter opted to ride RSR instead. - joyfulmomma 229.4 #1248 8:26PM
The balls are retired ! - snakeinmyboot40
270.4 #821 7:35PM
Glad we got to ride it before they took them out. Now it's just slow, air powered bumper cars. - Firelt
220.9 #1345 7:42PM
I'm bringing my own dark beach ball in January. Haters gonna hate - KylaShea
533.2 #214 7:44PM
I should've played the odds in Las Vegas on this one. When I first saw those balls I told everyone they would be gone within 90 days. It didn't even take that long! 😂😂😂 - Dahulagirl
1053.2 #81 8:05PM
There's a cheerful face!! Glad to see you in the lounge Dahula. Hope you are feeling well! - Mimmy 1405.6 #57 8:28PM

310.2 #558 11:10PM
I don't think this ride will last without those beach balls. So sad:( - MickeyMouse0312
54.3 #3669 12:12AM
I think they should just make the tires into bumper cars. - MickeyMouse0312 54.3 #3669 12:14AM
Noooooooo!!!!! I never got to ride it! Can I bring my own beach ball and bring it on the ride with me?!? Hahaha. - Flyingtoneverland
188.1 #1771 12:14AM
Looks plain Jane now. :o( - MomWithAJuiceBoxBuzz
922.2 #94 6:47PM
:( that made me sad - - Mouseketeer.for.Short
335.3 #449 7:01PM
Won't be getting on this any more - HanLostLeia
1092.6 #76 7:20PM
Don't worry about the balls...
Soon guests will start to complain about getting bumped and they will shutdown the entire ride and remove it...Just like the Flying Saucers. - radiatorsprings
272.6 #806 7:47AM
Glad we got one chance to ride with the balls just before they left. We went on 8/10 and they were still there. - heather77
