The ride is only one portion of the attraction being refurb'd...

 

[WaluigiTime]

I will be there In late January / early February.... would be cool if it was open.

 

[alexdisney]

I have seen some comments around that people have "heard" that this might be open late Feb/Early March at the earliest. Has anyone around here heard this at all?
Would be really disappointed if this wasn't open by Spring Break

I still think there’s a chance it will open in time for late December rush!

I need to be able to tell my daughter when I wake her at 2:30 in the morning to surprise her with a Disney trip that we get to ride Big Thunder over and over lol

Spring break should be a great time to ride Thunder Mountain

Aha, I hoped I could fish out a more specific timeframe by being overly optimistic! Mission accomplished!

i haven't noticed any signs of activity in the final lift from the aerial photos. has there been any evidence that they are actively making updates there whether dynamite or a new and different show scene?

It's not a firm indication of when the ride will open, but it does suggest to me that we won't see an early opening oi n 2025 like some people hoped.
