No. Its just closing "indefinitely". Always a favorite word used elsewhere when it's closing for expected refurbishment but no specific re-opening date is given.
Also, this is what fans like to call a "dark ride".
Honestly, considering the outlet that put that article out, I am really surprised there was that much misinformation. Or maybe not since they are generally an entertainment site and not parks/disney. Feels more like someone writing an article they have no idea about vs clickbait of certain other sites.
Even 20K had a reopening date.

I got an email from IAAPA saying that this ride and BTMRR were slated to be “improved” this year. Not sure what (if anything) IAAPA actually knows about this, so take it with a grain of salt. Being an industry thing they might even be talking about things not related to show.
Come on, second least favorite after it's a small world.

It's not controversial at all. It's too short. Want a good rapid river ride? Try Bluto's Raft Bilges in Uni.

It was a one and done for me. I felt like I jumped in the pool with my clothes on 
But, we will be there next week so I’m happy it reopened early. Spread the crowds out a little more.

Word from someone with eyes on says it actually reopened yesterday.

This seems shockingly early to finish this work. What were they going to fix but decided not to?

Pretty sure the annual Kali closure is just a couple weeks of actual work and then a "seasonal closure" until either it gets warm or the park needs the capacity.
mist? flames? things to look at? rapids? a plot?
