It seems the Keister Coaster’s clown has seen its last sliders at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn.
Disney officially confirmed that the slide at the Luna Park Pool will have a completely refreshed appearance when it reopens according to writer Brooke Geiger McDonald.
The statement implies that the slide could receive a Mickey and friends theme. The statement, in full, reads:
We look forward to Mickey and his pals clowning around at Luna Park Pool. Guests will enjoy the same great ride down [the] Keister Coaster slide with a brand-new look.
The clown head that guests slid out of has been in the removal process since October as part of a major refurbishment for the pool complex. Sky-patterned scrims have been up in its place, though it’s clear the structure itself is gone. The official Walt Disney World website says that the pool, complete with waterslide, is expected to reopen “before the end of 2020,” though they add that dates are subject to change.

Hopefully it’s similar to the pie-eyed Mickey currently featured on the horribly-named Pixar Pal-Around
Matt, when we checked into the Boardwalk on Nov 21st, I asked the front desk manager about the clown. He said that the replacement is going to be the ‘Ren & Stimpy’ new Mickey and Minnie Mouse characters,,,,
Thank God. My wife refuses to stay at this resort, because she hates clowns. =D
