[danlb_2000]

interesting. I'll research the company

They do a lot of steel work for Disney.

Steel Erection and Fabrication Lake Buena Vista

When it comes to quality steel erection and fabrication, no other company compares to Coastal Steel Inc, Construction Division in Lake Buena Vista, FL.

So glad the ride is still open for our current trip. First time riding it in the dark — so much fun!

Hoping they somehow tone down the noise of the lift tunnels with this refurb. We plug our ears.

Me too!

Also at the end of fireworks when there's 20 shells going off at once.

I'd like to keep my hearing until death.

I plug my ears, too. I also wear earplugs for the fireworks shows. I have sensitive hearing. lol

I’d like to try riding during the fireworks but my family wants to focus on the show. Tonight I agree with them, since it is MVMCP.

I will actually be down there the week of Jan 18th, does anyone have Mickey's number so I can text him about delaying the closure until after that?????

Just got off big thunder, looks like a crane is being assembled tonight

If they start blasting open parts of the mountain before the ride closes, it will honestly add to the ambience.

I know a guy who’ll be out of a job pretty soon who might be able to help with this idea.

From this morning, looks to be a big crawler.

Does Disneyland get fast tracked through permits or is California for them too?

That looks like the crane to assemble the crane

That does happen. Large mobile cranes sometime need to be assembled on site, so you need smaller cranes to do that.

This explains the recent arrival of cranes on site to build the crane-building crane:

Fun fact: Crane-building crane-building cranes are paid in guest hand-outs instead of money.

wasn't that Hugh Crane?

 

[tissandtully]

Just give us the DL effects too please! It's all my kids are asking for now after being at DLR this summer lol.

 

[Bocabear]

any effects would be great...now that Frontierland will just be this coaster surrounded by Carsland and the Louisiana Bayou, they should actually put a lot more into it...The rides original effects with the earthquake and falling boulders and gold vein were really cool but they were removed decades ago...

Oh that's gonna be a big one... That'll suck for sightlines. Not that WDW has ever been the best at those
