MK Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

[Skibum1970]

It’s interesting the track is black and not brown like before

Maybe the black track is for the sections inside the caves and it will switch to brown outside. I could see the section from the station to the top of the first lift hill being all black.

Wasn’t one of the things that came out of that Disney leak a few months back a haunted mansion hotel?

I haven't heard of that rumor.

Nearly a decade ago, Spirit was saying there was a HM restaurant in the works.

How about a Mine Train Hotel?

I have no idea who this guy is but when the leak happened he was going through some of the stuff and posting it, it’s pretty much all been deleted since (I only have this screenshot from sending it to my mom lol)

A lot of ideas get tossed around and even fleshed out before decisions are made about which to implement.

Spirit, AKA WDW1974, is/was an insider here. He doesn't really post anymore, but he had a very good track record and broke a lot of news about both Disney and Universal (like Tower of Terror at DCA being rethemed to GOTG and Diagon Alley having a train transport between parks). From what I recall, there were plenty of other people who reported on the HM restaurant rumor however. I don't remember what Spirit said about it specifically.

I believe the idea has been kicking around for literal decades now. There was even once a conceptual proposal in the 90s to retheme the Harbor House to tie into the ride. Basically a haunted harbor/ship theme (based around Captain Culpepper's backstory). Though later concepts apparently involved some kind of new building behind the ride based off a haunted ballroom. Probably more similar to the ride's ballroom scene.

I'm honestly surprised that this is not the plan.

Not really the right thread... but I would do something like this... Don't even need a private entrance or monorail station.

If we move parking/convention center across Floridian way you can almost squeeze in both Yacht and Beach club with storm along bay.
