News Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

[ToTBellHop]

I hope that is true. That is something I said seemed pretty obvious a couple months backed so hopefully it is not closed down for 2 straight holiday seasons

I imagine that decision will depend partially on December bookings. If the parks will be dead, they have no reason to wait.

They’ll keep it open for the parties and then Xmas/NYE.

I don’t imagine BTMRR would need to wait for Cars. Last I’d heard, BTMRR closes in January 2025. I suppose that could move up to November 2024 if they want.

Do you know when in January? We’re there Jan 3-9 and I’d hate to miss it.

Very soon after the first of the year. I presume it will be closed for you. Maybe you get it for a day or two?

Fingers crossed they hold out just a bit

Maybe they can fix Tiana and have it open on time and keep it running all day before they close down another major attraction.

Ah well it’s a good thought anyways

My guess would be that it happens while you’re there. Likely 6th or 7th

I can work with that

The week we are going, 10th-17th every DVC room is booked so at least on that side it is busy

A permit for the refurb was filed last week with the FDEP. Construction period seems to extend all the way to the end of 2025. Normally a permit like this wouldn’t be required for a refurbishment, but it seems this project will involve around 4.9 acres of land disturbance. Will be interesting to see when this is announced and the actual length of the closure.

Typical cheap Disney. Shaving off a tenth of an acre just to save on the permitting fee. OPEN THE CHECKBOOK, BOB!

One small correction: technically, the permit states that the construction will disrupt between 1 and 4.99 acres of land, which qualifies it as "small construction" instead of "large construction" (5 acres or more), so we don't know that 5his project will involve 4.9 acres, just that it will involve at least 1 acre and less than 5.

Section B just below that checkbox lists the acerage of disturbance.

Whoops! My apologies. Take it from me, kids - don't post here while working!

 

[ToTBellHop]

That extra tenth of an acre would’ve been a permanent Tiana’s Beignet Co-Op but her beignets just aren’t that good so it’s unnecessary.

I kinda get the feeling we were supposed to get more Tiana stuff in Frontierland but be we didn’t. Maybe we get bear resturaunt?

The permit states it will be 4.9 acres in the B slot.

Sorry, I got a phone in the middle of typing this! I see you corrected yourself.

They couldn't put 5 acres because then it's $150 extra and Mr Iger cant afford that type of spending at a time when attendance is low.

Where is this re-track project at? Is this still happening?

 

[co10064]

Surely they won’t go forward with this until Tiana’s downtime issues get resolved. Then again, this is the company who took DHS down to 3 rides…
