Especially with a re-track, there would be a considerable lead time to get the parts fabricated before they were ready for install.

They should fabricate the track onsite, like the EPCOT monorail. What could possibly go wrong?Especially with a re-track, there would be a considerable lead time to get the parts fabricated before they were ready for install.

He did so much, it’s just a shame that I only truely enjoy a handful of his creations, and only love two of them that still operate, long live Nessie and Magnum!RIP Ron Toomer.
Sounds like they should take another coaster off of VQ to balance it out...Lightning Lane Multipass Tier 1 attractions for Magic Kingdom are:
It seems they can't start this Retrack until Jungle Cruise comes back from refurb unless they want only 3 attractions in tier 1
- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (Should be getting a full retrack)
- Jungle Cruise (closed for refurb August 26 to ?)
- Peter Pan’s Flight (closed for refurb July 8 to August 20)
- Space Mountain
- Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Attractions actually getting refurbs warms my heart. Ik people are complaining about closed attractions, but if you don’t like a genuine Tokyo style refurb calendar, why did you ask for it?Lightning Lane Multipass Tier 1 attractions for Magic Kingdom are:

What kind of crazy talk is that??Sounds like they should take another coaster off of VQ to balance it out...
I think it goes to show how desperately these parks (even MK) need additional capacity. Tokyo can afford to have two or three headliners down because there are so many offerings. You do the same here (especially with LL+ tiers) and it cripples the park.Attractions actually getting refurbs warms my heart.

Unless something serious happens, most insiders seem to point towards September for when this goes down.Closing in July or early August - oh the pain! My trip is in September... maybe they'll hold off a little (wishful thinking).
I'm very glad it will be getting some TLC though. Man, I miss those shaking rocks that worked when I was a kid.
This could even be a slow dark section after the finale that serves as an extended brake run. Disneyland has Rainbow Ridge, Paris has the tunnel beneath the river, and WDW has nothing. They could even just enclose the current stretch of track leading back to the station after the brakes and install two or three of the more famous Rainbow Caverns water features.This probably should be in the Imagineering section, but I’ve always hoped they’d surprise us and bring back the Rainbow Caverns. What a fun surprise it would be to have a new path created by dynamite, taking a hard left into a new show building, exploring the caverns, and returning to Tumbleweed and the current ride finale.
I don’t know. Can they retrack the whole coaster with a mountain around it in 12 months? Seems fast to me.What’s the current rumoured timeline?
August/September 2024 for 12 months? Or less?
Surely they would want it open again by Summer 2025?
I’ve seen “18 months” thrown around in a few conversations but I don’t know how official that is.What’s the current rumoured timeline?

Something tells me we're getting the Explosive Finale after all.This could even be a slow dark section after the finale that serves as an extended brake run.

Do we know if the track replacement will necessarily be a massive, one-time undertaking? I wonder if they wanted to minimize downtime they could slightly extend Big Thunder’s annual refurbishments and replace a portion of the layout every year for three or four years until eventually the entire layout has been replaced.
I would expect the standard 2-3 years....and in the end they will probably not touch the finale or any sets...I’ve seen “18 months” thrown around in a few conversations but I don’t know how official that is.
I wish I could say that your being negative but WDW’s track record is definitely in favor of your prediction.I would expect the standard 2-3 years....and in the end they will probably not touch the finale or any sets...
18 months of actual track work with some other site stuff reaching the 2+ year mark AFAIK. I'd expect an 18ish month closure.I’ve seen “18 months” thrown around in a few conversations but I don’t know how official that is.
If they start it in the September that leaves it down for two sets of Halloween and Christmas crowds, you would think they would want to limit that and shut it down in January18 months of actual track work with some other site stuff reaching the 2+ year mark AFAIK.
