Rumor Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

[bwr827]

AFAIK its literally just a retrack so idk how they'd muck it up

Replacing the track with screens?

This is what started the thread, but no clue if this is still an accurate timeline.

Now that TBA is opening soon, BTMR could afford to be closed for a refurb.

How does this work if TBA continues to go down 7 hours a day?

It’ll be fascinating to watch the track being removed from the enclosed helix. I would think it’ll be easier to take out than put back in. slice it up to get it out in smaller pieces. But then moving large curved pieces through a confined area will be fun.

He has 3 hairs!

He gains a hair when one of his rumors turn out to be correct. Kinda like Morgan Freeman earning a freckle whenever he shows up to explain a situation. (IYKYK)

Honestly wouldn't be too shocked to see them replace some of the rockwork just for ease of installation (this is entirely a guess, not anything I've heard.)

And everyone was so skeptical.

When a 15 year old hops on here with rumors of any kind, yes, people are going to be skeptical.

If WDI excels at anything right now, it’s repurposing existing ride systems flawlessly.

Cause the usual 45 year old with rumors is more reliable?

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

I love to get all my info from people waiting on facial hair.

That comment comes across as very creepy fyi….

 

[Moth]

Moth says above that’s in the mix supposedly

Supposedly is the best wording I'll give it.

You might get some, might get all, might get none. Who knows. Big Thunder is my pookie-bear in MK next to the Tiki Room so I hope it gets what it needs.

What if a 21 year old gave yall rumors? Change of pace?

Meet in the middle

 

[Kev1982]

Since its closing in september after D23, could it also have to do something with the beyond big thunder mountain project?

Just to put it out there, if y'all EVER see me post a new rumor, this was literally me coming up with that "rumor" (I have no inside sources... just wild conjectures...)

Timing seems to fit. I am expecting a fast start to the Beyond project. (Source: no sources)

Even if beyond is not starting right away, and its strictly BTMRR maintenance for a year or two, I could see them connecting the closure in announcements. I don't think they can get away with a second blue sky presentation of the same project with no actual action announced.

The idea top down oligarchy is leaking billion dollar decisions all over the place should never pass the sniff test

Generally speaking in life…that kinda holds true

 

[DonniePeverley]

CLOSED FOR A YEAR ?!

China build a mile long bridge over the sea in two weeks.

What does that have to do with BTMR?
