Big thunder mountain railroad

[awalte7]

O No. I was scaning the disney website and found out that BTMR will be closed when I visit. oct 1st-24th it will be closed.
I guess it would be worse if the hm or splash was closed but I like to go on the btmr at night. It's a lot more fun than it is during the day.:shrug:

Don't worry, I'm sure we will still have an amazing trip with an interesting trip report and lots of pictures for everyone to look at!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are improving the attraction for future enjoyment. You wouldnt want to ride it when it is in poor shape would you? It takes away the enjoyment.

Bummer.....

 

[KingofHearts]

Heard something about them putting in a new lift chain or something to make it quiet. :shrug:

 

[TomorrowlandTyler]

Something like Expedition Everest's lift system would be nice...Its amazingly quiet.

Or what?

 

[PintoColvig]

:shrug: RnRC and SSE were both closed on our last trip. It happens. If it didn't, you'd be talking about Six Flags instead of Disney.

Look at it this way...now you have an excuse to return sooner.

hopefully...that lift is really loud

I still feel that WDW should build 2 of everything, that way when one goes down for a re-furb the other can still remain open. This would eliminate all of the ruined trips when one or two attractions are closed during a particular vacation.

 

[Greenlawler]

It needs a refurb. Refurbs are part of life.

Do I need to post the "Pixie Dust doesn't maintain itself" post again?

And ticket prices would be more than twice what they are now....Further, if there truley were all of these "ruined" vacations from attractions being down, why are the crowds continuing to increase year after year?

To me, that noise is synonymous with the attraction.

I agree there actually. I've never had a problem with the lift being loud as it, to me at least, fits with the attraction.

I agree about the sound, but the last time we rode it we thought that part was really much rougher than it had been in the past -

Big Thunder Mountain needs a refurb and it's getting one. I missed riding The Haunted Mansion when I was there in July and while I was VERY disappointed, it didn't ruin my trip at all. I'll get to see it next time.

Be very glad they are putting money into maintaining the rides

 

[KingdomHeart]

I'm just glad they still care enough about the attractions they're refurbing to keep them open. So many great rides are gone, and for whatever reason that is, they are - whether diminished quality has something to do with it or not. So yay to them keeping open the loudest ride in the wilderness!
