While I was in the park last week, taking pictures and filming clips, something a bit unusual happened. During a normal operating day all of the attractions and features of those attractions are working in normal "show" mode. However, sometime an attraction will need to shut down unexpectedly. This is not a huge problem for most attractions. If Space Mountain or Tower of Terror aren't running you would not notice from outside the ride. If California Screamin' of Thunder Mountain shut down all you will see is am empty track. But, if Small World or Grizzly River Rapids go dry (shut down and drain water) you will see boats/rafts stranded in the flume. That's exactly what happened. Grizzly shut down and the flume was drained; river rafts were left sitting in a virtually dry flume, and all of the water features stood dry. Here are a few photos and video.

Here is what we regularly see.
A clip of the falls falling:
But here is a veiw of Grizzly dry.
and here are two clips. First, the waterfall completely dry.
And here is what it looks like when they restart the waterfall.
