I don't want on board audio. ( 
) and if they did replace the whole track, then how would it look any different. It could have been a different color and all they had to do was spray everything grey again. We really don't know whether they did or didn't because almost everything except for the lifthill is hidden.
I'm just trying to stay satisfied with a cosmetically refurbished attraction, queue, and hopefully darker experience with the boarding rooms finally being covered over.

Which would be? :lookaroun
The first thing I thought of was the track replacement. And the new post-show and the new paint job on the cars. :lookaroun
I would think something more smoother than the bumpiness of the track prefurb. :lookaroun
Interesting. Anything else will occur in this refurb if that's the case?

He has said no such thing. He is hinting at nothing.
Maybe you could quote where he says that.
The op recounts the latest rumors and then hints he knows something new about SM but does not say what it is.

Ok so, if they are doing a track replacement, how is it going to open in November? Is it safe to say that you guys were right and that it will be opening sometime next year and disney just said Nov. because they didnt want people to cancel bookings? If all of this is true, I am both upset and happy. I wont be going to WDW with it closed, but if they are making it better and will have it open by atleast Jan. than I wont be that upset.

Juan...if you know something....say it.
No names need be mentioned, but info like that needs to get out.
Going back months, I have said that I was told that there was to be "significant" track replacement, keeping the original layout. That the order for new steel went out a long time ago. That is the info I got as far back as last summer.
However, doubts have arisen as of late that in fact the track would not be replaced, but instead there would be some localized work on it that would result in a smoother ride.
Anybody seen any track going in or out of the Mountain? It would be hard to miss, and would have to be kept in a staging area on property. Anybody even heard of it actually being done?
Nope. Me neither. I haven't seen/heard any significant details or juicy dirt since getting the original information due to a serioius (and annoying)lockdown on leaks regarding the project.
So....Juan...if you have something to contribute, please do so. And no...:zipit: doesn't count.

Yes. That is what the most recent information was. New track, using the existing, but modified, supports. Audio would be possible in the future, but not part of this refurb.

We keep talking about smoothing out the track. Is this something that is known to occur with tubular steel coasters? Unless we are talking about smoothing banking transitions. Just don't think we gonna see much of a ride improvement without new train designs / new tracking. BTW, think SM is rough? Try Matterhorn. Good grief...

Almost every roller coaster project in this country is exposed by the finding and photography of track, whether it be at the manufacturing facility, on the road or, more likely, at the park itself. I know there is a lot of space to hide things, but absolutely nothing, not even reports of seeing track, just seems odd if indeed there were significant portions of track replaced.
