Don't hate me for posting this...

I so enjoy seeing pictures of refurbs and construction that are shared on these forums. So much so that I think I might be willing to pay for a special tour during a refurb to see the behind the scenes of the ride, what makes it work, have a CM share original design discussions, issues they have seen through the years and how resolved, etc.

No hate here. I expect a lot of folks on this forum would do the same if able.

I'm not sure this is the refurb tour you want to pay for. The muck and the smell might be unpleasant for you. I wouldn't think they'd have you do the diving part, but make sure to get your cholera shots if they do!

Dry dock I believe

Correct

Word was that the boat was already done it’s refurb before the track issues came up. So is this a budget cut until the busy holiday week?

I’d hope not. Not that I know of.

Well, this confirms it.

Riverboat to replace Sammy Duval operations for parasailing.

Better hope there’s lots of wind. Lots.

Will be interesting to see if they re-drain the River as they are closing down Tom Sawyer now for a refurbishment October 14 until scheduled opening of River Boat December 22. They obviously need water to run rafts. I was just on Sawyer and there isn’t much to refurbish to start with and the Fort was fine
Just pondering as this has been a very disjointed refurbishment

I know the barrel bridge was gone when I saw there about two weeks ago so perhaps that whats being refurbished?

The barrel bridge was removed temporarily while they drained that portion of the river

Noticed in pictures of the refilled river, that the barrel bridge was back in place.

They're most likely putting in the footers for the roller coaster.

That was cancelled.

Pre-footers for that 100th anniversary flying coaster launch pad.
