Any recent photos of the refurb??? I am specifically curious about the queue and how much work is being done??
We are only like a month away from this being done now right? Beuhler?
No, we are 4 months away.
No, we are 4 months away.
Would love to get some kind of confirmation on this. I've heard from another cast member that August is being thrown around as a re-opening date now. I'd really love for that assertion to be wrong.
According to the cast member hub AND tell-a-cast pamphlets, the ride is still expected to reopen May 27th.
I'm just hoping the coaster rails are filled with railroad beams again.
Anything above that will be a bonus. Hopefully some surprises in store.
I may be full of it--but it seemed last time we were there, about a year
ago, the ride was running slow. Maybe new track will let them up
the speed a bit.
But, yeah. Rails.
Railroad ties are being put back in. What ive heard is, ride is just about ready to test from a mechanical stand point. Trains are now getting looked out. WDI still playing around all over the place and probably will till May 27th. Said they should get the queue finished quickly once they get it enclosed. But from a mechanical ride point of view, it's almost ready to be handed over to WDI/TDO.
I wanna correct you on something. There is no new track, just appears to be replaced track ties(not the fake ones) and treated rails. And the temperature could have caused the ride to run slower. That and train weight. But really, trains have more to do with ride speed and comfort then the track does.
When is that supposed to happen?

Any chances that this thing might have some kind of limited soft openings the week before? I'll be there from the 19th to the 25th of May, really sucks that it reopens only 2 days after we leave. Has TDO ever done anything like that before with other attractions in the past?
