Disney Imagineer Acknowledges “Keister” Misspell on Reimagined Boardwalk Slide

Posted by: Jamie Sylvester December 17, 2020 Comments Off on Disney Imagineer Acknowledges “Keister” Misspell on Reimagined Boardwalk Slide

A Cast Member stands beside the Boardwalk slide at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort, where the sign amusingly displays a “Keister Coaster” typo instead of “Keister.” An apology from Disney Imagineering is featured on the right, acknowledging the oversight to park guests.

We previously shared an update from Imagineer, Zach Riddley, regarding Disney’s Boardwalk Resort Keister Coaster refurbishment. Zach shared a sneak peek photo of a new graphic. The post was quickly removed from Instagram. As you’ll see in the photo “Kiester” is spelled incorrectly and should read “Keister”. Imagineer, Zach Riddley, has provided an update.

Two Disney Imagineers, clad in hard hats and safety vests, closely examine the colorful Kiester Coaster mural at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort. Mickey Mouse takes center stage in the artwork—though sharp-eyed fans may recognize the infamous “Keister” misspelling that often appears on signs by this classic waterslide attraction.

The post that has since been removed along with the photo above stated:

“Our @waltdisneyworld and @WaltDisneyImagineering teams are almost complete with the brand-new design at the end of the Keister Coaster slide at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort. In this sneak peek photo of our team installing the new graphic, you can see that now Mickey Mouse and his pals are the ones clowning around as they splash down into Luna Park Pool. I can’t wait for guests to join along in the fun when the slide reopens soon!”

An update was shared on Instagram stories from Imagineer, Zach Riddley, stating:

Bold white text pops against a striking red background, stressing how crucial it is to fix the "Keister misspell" before the much-anticipated Boardwalk slide reopens at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort—just the kind of detail Disney fans and Imagineering enthusiasts love to notice.

Our thought… mistakes happen! We’re just glad the error was caught now so a little paint can fix it up in no time. Keep creating magic, Disney Imagineers!
