NOOOOOO!!! It's my favorite ride and it's going to be closed while i'm there. Oh well just one more ride i won't get to ride.

That sucks my daughter loves that ride.

 

[DisneyGigi]

Why is this being announced and RNRC hasn't???

 

[mickeysaver]

Thankfully, this time frame doesn't impact my trip. It's my favorite ride. I feel sorry for of you that won't get to enjoy it during your stays.

What's the scoop on this rehab? Anything more than basic maintanence? Maggie

Possibly the budget hasn't been finalized yet?

I am hoping RNRC wont be closed in Sept while we are there. My friends are looking forward too it.

As sad as it may be having rides down during a vacation, MK's rides need some good refurbs. Think about it this way- now you have a reason to come back, to see all the new refurbs that are going on!

Thanks for the scoop!

Interesting. My planned trip to WDW is Oct. 21-26. Maybe I will catch it at the end of my stay.

Minor refurb? I say this because lok at Haunted Mansion and Spaceship Earth -- those are major rehabs.

Wow everything is being refurbed!

a little over 3 weeks has to be minor...just a small sprucing up. The type of projects they tend to do in time periods like that are updates to dispatch systems, replacement of parts (like placing new chains on the chain lifts), painting, etc. I would not expect to see a loop installed

Isn't it true. Welcome to the year of a million refurbs.

 

[ToTBellHop]

it's not really that bad...this will be after HM reopens...one big ride closed at one park (especially during the October "off-season") is not a big deal at all, nor is it to be unexpected. We should be happy that these projects are taking place. Disneyland found out a few years back just what happens (on Big Thunder, no less) if you cut back on these projects...people die. Sorry if it's during your trip, but I'm sure we all agree that surviving all of the rides is usually a pretty nice perk that we can expect from Disney (not so much at Six Flags).

And I am loving it, all of the attractions that are being worked on desperately needed it.

Sigh... I`ll miss it. With DLPs still fresh in my mind I wanted to revisit the 2nd version again. At least the HM will be all shiny and polished

I assume it`s just a general rehab and nothing major? Bit of paint, do the ride system, clean out Tumbleweed etc...?

 

[Disneyfanman]

It's time. I'm there every year and it's the first time I noticed that various elements really needed some attention. The ride itself was fine, but there is a missing rock in the tunnel (all you see is a big metal pole and clamp), some animatronic issues, and painting that needs to be spruced up. I am very forgiving about theming issues needing upkeep, but it was pretty glaring. Time to dust, paint, clean, and repair for BTMR!

Is it just me or is that chain lift the loudest thing in WDW?
Please fix that!
