Overview
- After a crack worsened, a section of Gertie’s tail detached into Echo Lake and was later removed by Disney.
- Two weathered boxes — one blue and one orange — now sit along the shoreline to partially obscure the break, which remains visible to guests.
- Reporters first spotted a deep horizontal crack in mid-February; Disney patched and repainted it, but the repair failed within days.
- Dinosaur Gertie’s Ice Cream of Extinction continues normal operations beneath the structure despite the visible damage.
- Disney has not provided a public repair timeline, and outlets report the near‑water damage likely requires more extensive structural work.
