MK Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

[Absimilliard]

That’s not true. 18 - 24 months is typical for design, manufacturing and installation of a new roller coaster.

This not being new means there’s a whole selective demolition process.

Less than that would mean that stars align: small ride that is bought as it is and the manufacturer has the production slot available. The roller coaster that I selected for my client opened 11 months after it was selected and the contract signed with the manufacturer.

18-24 months is average, but many roller coaster suppliers have longer lead times right now.

Wait. It wasn't a rail road track all along, but a coaster?!?!?

Sorry guys, first time insider, is this the part where I say “100% accuracy rate I’m always right” with a flurry of emojis?

Might be funny if multiple people hadn't already warned you specifically (even if indirectly) against "building a brand" and sharing things just for the sake of being the source. Just advice...

In virtually every case, reputable and longstanding insiders come into this with a sense of humility. Some are too humble to even refer to themselves as 'insiders', even the most notorious on this site.

Building a roller coaster typically takes around 10 months from design to construction,

this is not a new build

This isn’t exactly a six flags coaster…

I suspect you're not really sorry. But I can't prove it

It was a joke

I'm not disputing the fact it needs maintenance just the time frame comparison

not sure if a perfect comparison but when they redid the track for the Hulk at Universal about a decade ago it closed in Sept of 2015 and reopening in August of 2016 - so almost a year and that is way less themed/not in a mountain ... plus if they are doing any prep work for Cars or Villains that could happen now

So I don't think like 12-15 months is outlandish for a complete retrack and update to this type of attraction and the fact they are already removing stuff seems to indicate they aren't slow walking the work

I was assured by you I wouldn’t get to ride it in August. Or December.

We will go with 92% accurate. A-, but still “a pleasure to have in class.”

Oh boy, this looks like a lot of work!

But it had to be done.

I hope any "systems upgrades" work as well as the tried and true existing operating systems
