MK Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

I have a feeling that this thread will be active soon.

I’ve been waiting for visible ride testing.

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

I wonder to what extent if any the RoA project will delay the reopening of BTM. I shouldn't really say delay, because it isn't supposed to reopen until 2026 anyway, but perhaps they knew the RoA project would force the reopening to be later than it had to be.

Are your coaster senses chattering?

 

[Disstevefan1]

All I want for Christmas is for Big Thunder to be open.

 

[Drew the Disney Dude]

Are your coaster senses chattering?

Indeed. We shall have news to discuss.

I can't wait to start seeing half blurred and crooked Piston Peak/Villains construction shots from people trying to get pics from the best vantage points on Big Thunder

I wonder if there are any good spots from the queue that look into the area - and if there are, will they put up walls to block the view

Another reason they desperately need to install AC if they start covering up the windows that look out over the river

Fingers crossed it's because someone brings up Splash Mountain and SotS!

If that's all it took this would have been open 4,000 times over

They'll block them to the extent that is reasonable, but they don't generally care if you can get a look from somewhere higher. They didn't obscure PeopleMover views of TRON's construction, for instance. The top of Splash will probably be the easiest place to get shots for the foreseeable future, Bioreconstruct notwithstanding of course.

Is another active project that might be speeding up a bit?

Honestly, I'm not certain about the reopening timeframe, but I hope that's part of what's announced.

So the reopening date isn't the main piece of information

 

[JackCH]

Get ready everyone!

Ah, some details about the "little bit of new magic" we are all awaiting!

Get ready to meet Bulls-Eye, Tow Mater, and Wall-E on the reimagined third lift hill!

 

[TheCoasterNerd]

Wednesday possibly? Is this the news that’s pushing the ADRs for B&B to 7?

Would be curious for sure if they decided to do such an announcement on a "random" day anytime in the next month as opposed to saving it for Destination D23. Such a move would be (yet another) signal that Disney is trying to move away from the expectation that Destination D23 is an event for breaking new attraction announcements. Though to be fair, it really was only the most recent DD23 that set such a bar.

If they don’t change the storyline and replace Barnabas T. Bullion with BB-8 as owner and president of the Big Thunder Mining Company, I’m going to buy an $85 spirit jersey and set it on fire as a form of protest.
