Many of you are far more well-versed than me in coaster ops and construction. Tiana’s was down a year and a half for a full retheme. Since this is just replacing the track and adding a few effects, why does it take so long?

I could be wrong, but I believe the way the track is imbedded into the rock work makes the re-tracking significantly more intensive and laborious than a normal retrack.

I think part of it is that while it is down they will be doing some prep work for Cars area and Villains Land.

Would take a bit of time anyway just with how the track is in the mountain and harder to access than a regular coaster but if all they were doing was this I don't think it would take 13 months or whatver
