MK Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

[Disstevefan1]

I'm not sure how an article saying the permits being extended by 1 month (ending in April vs March 2026) translates to you that this is reopening in 2027? You seem to get off on any negativity when it comes to Disney that you make up stuff to spread the negativity

I was joking (denoted by the winky emoji ) Going forward, if there a winky, its a joke.

I am looking forward to riding Thunder mountain in 2026 sometime. <---- notice no winky, I expect to ride Thunder mountain in 2026 hope and pray.

Bob Iger thanks for your defending and support <-------- Notice winky means joke

Any chance the ride has on board audio when it returns? Is that something we'd even want?

When a Notice of Commencement has an expiration that is close to one year from when it was filed I take it with a grain of salt. NOC's have default expiration of one year if a specific expiration is not given, so I think sometimes when people are filling them out they just write in the one year date even though it's not actually necessary.

Maybe we are asking the wrong question?

ARE they going to hide/camouflage that?

On the plus side, we don’t have people saying how it’s going to open early because a pre-engineering metal building is going up quickly.

Am the only one that thinks it’s funny that after all the speculation that it would open earlier then expected it ended up getting pushed out into spring?

You are missing context. Remember this kind of project was worried it could span two or three years…. To complete even in 18m would be blazing for disney and still fits in people’s amazement on how fast the project had moved through the heavy track work

 

[peter11435]

I'm not surprised. It's a normal thing they do. They like to spread costs across multiple quarters

They are not intentionally delaying this project

Okay so we’re doing the whole because the Epcot core took years (which was absolutely insane) we have to assume everything else will most likely take that long? But regardless I was merely trying to find the humor in this turn of events.

It will take roughly 1/3 trons.

Dude… disney has had that reputation for longer than you’ve been alive.

Okay sub in any other example. The point still stands.

Everything *does* take that long. Disney didn't get a reputation for glacial pace due to one project. It has been decades of experience.

Every major park project from NFL to SWGE has generally taken 3ish years to build.

The outliers to that are Epcot stuff and Tron.

I think Pandora took more than 3 years?

Pandora started construction in 2014 so a little over 3 years.
