Is Disneyland breaking down?

Discussion

I’ve been to Disneyland dozens of times in the last twenty years. I just returned from a day trip today and for the first time, I started to notice literal and figurative breakdowns. Specifically:

Indiana Jones ride: broke down today while we were in line. Fixed after 30 minutes but each of the last five times I’ve visited, the ride was broken down.

Space Mountain: broke down and had about a 20 minute delay

Astroblasters: one of the guns in our cart wasn’t functioning so the game didn’t register any points.

Haunted Mansion: ride broke down and guests weren’t allowed to enter the gates.

Tiana’s water ride: ride broke down after a 30 minute wait and the ride attendants cleared out the entire line so we didn’t have the option of waiting.

It may seem like I’m fishing for confirmation, but for the billions of dollars Disney brings in annually, why do the rides breakdown so frequently.

On a positive, the evening light parade was pretty amazing!

Perhaps today was just an anomaly. Would love other peoples takes. What are you noticing about the state of the park?
