News Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

[Blobbles]

We will literally see Maleficent's Castle going vertical and people will still be like, "I'll believe it when I see it. Remember PLAY PAVILION?”

And even when it does happen people will still find a way to complain!

RagingRiverboat and SaltySawyer are going to be HEATED

it’s like people are allergic to optimism on this site. Yes, losing muppets (still dissapointed) and ROA does suck, but we are getting a bunch of amazing new lands, this isn’t the end of time. I have faith that the imagineers can put their all into everything and make some amazing additions to Disney world.
(Deleted my prior post, didn’t wanna start another culture war. Sorry if it happens, didn’t intend for it.)

this isn’t the end of time.

Agreed, I don't think the Parousia is happening right now.

I'll believe it when I see it. It hasn't happened in some time.

Also, can I just say that your username is great? It cracks me up every time I see that "Blobbles replied to a thread" in my inbox.

For many Americans, January 1 is a time to start a new gym membership but for many more, it’s a time to start a new WDWMagic account. New Year, New You!

They are going to want a crane that can reach as much of the track as possible from that location, although I am not sure if will reach all the way to the river side.

I spoke to the construction engineer. They will use a mule train to drag the track segments across the themed landscape within reach of the crane. When they're done they will restore the theming with spray paint having a special sand finish that looks more like sand then real sand.

The height of thematic integrity, you can only do maintenance on a ride using theme appropriate tools and techniques!

Ngl I feel like Disney is running out of things to retheme atp at wdw. What else is there to retheme?
The remaining big candidates to me are:
Star Tours
Tower of Terror (from removing TZ and keeping it the hotel to something much bigger
Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin
Laugh Floor
Magic eye

That’s it really to me. A lot of these are gut feelings, but I especially feel that Star Tours and Tower Of Terror are on the clock for some changes to me.

Now we understand the SSE refurb delay. Redoing those first several scenes will be a real challenge.

I honestly have half given up on that ride. I nothing has ever gotten off the ground. I am STARVING for any sign of hope for the purple guy.

 

[JohnD]

So glad the ride is still open for our current trip. First time riding it in the dark — so much fun!

Hoping they somehow tone down the noise of the lift tunnels with this refurb. We plug our ears.

Methinks there will be more in the tunnel along with the noise, comparable to DL.

They’re almost as predictable as your takes.

Roll out the blue LED-trimmed industrial 3-D printer to re-print Space Mountain.

Oh, it's coming.

I was supposed to be creating burner accounts here every January 1? I'm so fired...

You think the lights would work?

Anyway, back to Big Thunder. I hope those who get to enjoy the ride post-refurb are able to enjoy some long overdue 3rd lift effects. There is simply no reason to not have those added at this point. Unless TDO prefers to continue having the weakest version of the ride, I guess.

 

[EagleScout610]

Guys, wrong Mountain. We're discussing the one 5 feet to the right.

For a week or so.
