Does anyone have any idea what this is referring to?
As was discussed a few days ago, they are building a new path between Africa and Asia, this will be a theme element in that area. It is believed that there will probably be some sort of shops or restaurants back there.

Great, and thanks for the info. It is starting to get challenging keeping up with everything that is going on or rumored to be going on at the parks.

799 W. Savannah Circle would put this closer to the new Lion King theater (803 W Savannah Circle). I'm not sure this is related to the Train Station to Tamu Tamu path.

I'm sure it has been asked but does anyone know permit completion date for the MK Hub? My wife and I want to go for our anniversary next May... I'm hoping it's not still under construction.
11/17/2015.
It's been a challenge to decipher all the new address in that area. They have introduced a bunch that I didn't have a record of.

Show Set Install? Maybe they're updating the movies?
It could be everything from that to switching out one of the displays in the queue.
I am leaning towards something smaller. Changing an entire movie would likely require a shut down of the ride for at least a few weeks.

Could it be changing one of the 2 'scenes'?? This would not require a whole ride shutdown, but would reduce its capacity? I doubt it - but is it a possibility?

2 scenes? There are like 8 scenes throughout the ride and none of them can be bypassed.
Hopefully the mob car get fixed and new headlight bulbs. That would be new for me since I haven't been lucky enough to see it working in probably 5 years.

Yes - I know there is more than 2 scenes in the ride. But I was always under the illusion that either the Gangster or Western scene could be bypassed? Am I incorrect?2 scenes? There are like 8 scenes throughout the ride and none of them can be bypassed.

Bypassed in the sense that the scene isn't used for the CM switch, yes. Bypassed in the sense that you can drive around it, no

OK, But if I'm not mistaken (haven't been on it for a while) you only go through either the western or gangster CM switch scene during the ride? Correct?

There is only one way through all of the scenes and all of the vehicles follow behind on another. There is no going around any of the scenes, only diving straight through them without stopping. The lead car passes through the Western scene and heads into the Gangster area where the CM's proceed to do the gangster themed show. The second car stops in the western scene and the where the CM's perform the Western themed show. The cars all come back together in the final room where the movie clips are shown. I believe this is the only place in the entire ride that the cars do not follow back to back and they align side by side here so they can all fit in one area.
So the answer is no. They cannot shut down part of the ride without effecting all of it.
You always go through both scenes. Depending on where you sit will be the factor in which show you see. You are correct in the sense that you will not see both shows (CM switch) on your ride.

OK - Thank you for clearing that up. I clearly wasn't paying attention when I last rode it, as I didn't notice going through the other scene! haha!

No, it is easy to get caught up in the action on the ride. Check it out next time on it.
