Why refurb a ride that is shutting down and being rethemed?

Because it hasn't shut down, other than its annual refurbishment. Regardless of the debate on theme, it's currently needed to help distribute crowds. At the earliest, it won't be closed until Tron, and by extension, the railroad opens. That would be a 1-1 trade. But that's just a guess on my part.

Let's be honest, literally zeros of people are actually offended about the theme because no one has seen the movie or could even explain what there is to be offended about.

I am glad they have started delaying the refurb. It used to be whenever I came for the Marathon in January it was always closed.
This year it went down the day after the Marathon.

Incorrect, but this really isn't the thread.
Tron got bumped to 2023, and I'd give it a year between Tron and any possible Splash closure

Not sure if it would be a 1-1 trade. Tron is less capacity then Splash and the RR could possibly be closed for the retheme.
This definitely pushes it into Martin's "not this year or next year" territory but it also gives those curious Disney fans more time to actually look into the "problematic" Song of the South.
Not a good look.

Sorry to hear. Splash is almost always down at this time of the year. They figure people are less likely to want
to get "Splashed" when the temperatures are down.

They picked a good January to close. Brrr. Next few days excluded.

People like Zip a Dee Doo Dah. They should not even be thinking of changing the theme of this ride.
We also rode it in October 2021. Several times in fact. But we didn't have any issues. We had a great time.This made me laugh. We were just on it in October and while I used to love it, I swear I'm not going on it again.
We stopped SO MANY times. It got so ridiculous. We would stop, inch along, stop, move at a snails pace. Then finally we stopped for almost 20 minutes right going up before big drop. I was just sitting in a puddle of water from a previous splash with the lights on. It was very uncomfortable!Plus this was during Boo Bash and we lost a lot of time.
Yeah, it needs some fixin'.
