Don’t get us wrong, Disney World has some pretty cool water slides. But it also has one that haunts our dreams. Yep, we’re talking about the Keister Coaster. You either love it…or you’re absolutely terrified of it.
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Pool
This watery deluge ramp of circus-based nightmares is the main feature of Luna Park Pool at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn. To be fair, it’s a pretty great pool (and slide!). But if you happen to be scared of clowns, it might not be your favorite. Whether you love it or hate it, Luna Park Pool is getting some TLC — and we have pics!
Don’t worry, the Keister Coaster is typically less scary to look at in the daytime. But right now, you can’t see it at all! When we got to Luna Park Pool today, we noticed some super tall sky-blue construction barriers up around the iconic clown head.

The barriers have that classic construction Mickey sign saying, “Please Pardon Our Appearance. This Area is Being Refurbished For Your Enjoyment.”

I wonder if. More Disney look is in store for guests… like. Mickey face…?
I just saw a picture of Cast Members throwing that FREAKY clown destroyed in pieces in the back of a storage truck.
Rumor circulating is they will re-theme it to Mickey and friend.
Fingers crossed.
Perhaps someone can help me. I was not aware that WDW only has one Resort. Strange. I would have thought, that a place as large as WDW, would have many accommodations. A choice to stay elsewhere. I guess I am wrong. Now I have Faux Outrage.
I didn’t like that clown face. I haven’t liked clown faces since I saw Steven King’s movIe ‘It’
