A Lot Of Refurbishments Going On

Straight from Disney's website: Race through a haunted gold-mining town aboard a rollicking runaway mine train. From August 8 to November 18, 2016, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will be closed for refurbishment.

ugh, I was hoping it was just a rumor or would be pushed back. Well it is necessary. Thanks for responding.

As I see what is happening at Walt Disney World right now, it makes me feel that Disney is going to be doing a lot more positive things. The company has failed to put money back into the parks and it was showing. Let's hope this is the turning point and things will continue to improve.

It's always a difficult balance between a demandor desire for refurbs and the inconvenience of being there during the work. I certainly hope that these are positive signs toward a genuine corporate concern for the parks here in Florida.

We were so gutted when this was announced! We took our kids in 2012 for the first time to Disney and at that time BTM was closed for work so we didn't get to ride it. We are from the UK so don't visit often but we're really looking forward to iur trip in October this year. Initially they had the refurb down for the early part of the year so we thought we would get our first time ride on a new and improved version. Just our luck that it's closed again when we are there!
