That's some conspiratorial thinking, right there. It's the annual winter refurb. Who wants to ride a rapids ride during the height of winter? I rode it in December once and got completely soaked. I was miserable. I couldn't get back to my room quick enough for a hot shower and change of clothes.I always wonder....is it a refurb for real, or is it closed because of low ridership and cash needed to staff and operate?
Is the refurb really not as long, they just keep it closed longer?
