News Disneyland to give Tarzan’s Treehouse a new theme

[TP2000]

We're talking about a company that has taken 5 years to make a Moana walk through with water features. Also 5 years to clone a Shanghai Roller Coaster to Disney World.

The only short construction they've done in recent years was the Toontown redo which they are still working on and repairing.

Good point, and no kidding. How's that Walt's Dreaming Tree coming along lately? Did they get Miracle-Gro to sponsor it yet?

That looks like a bad dream..

2+ years to renovate a treehouse yet they can consistently renovate a 600 room hotel in 90 days.

They need to put the hotel construction guys in charge of the attractions.

Tiana’s Palace has also gone really fast. It seems they choose what to build / redo quickly… and drag out the rest.

I say use the hotel people or whoever made the new parking structure (Pixar Parking) in something like 6 months when eastern gateway was not approved.

Only if you want all attractions to be beige.

Remember when the garage was built so quickly folks were concerned that it was being built too fast?

I reiterate:

Dang, that's crazy - it looks exactly the same.

Other than the loss of the bridge and the Union Jack, what exactly is different here? How could this have taken two years to complete?

If it opens the first week of October we’ll know for sure.

How many hundreds of millions did this cost over two years? What did they do? Replace every leaf with a hand made one?

This should be very telling for how fast the Splash attractions will get done.

Disney takes as long as they want to take.

I’m glad it’s finally wrapping up, all the scaffolding was hideous.

I really wish theyd stop adding Walt's name to every lackluster offering.

At Disney World they'd sell hotdogs called "Walt's Footlonng Beef Hot Dog with Walt's Chilli". Like is this really some Disney family recipe and meat supplier? I'm sure it's just sysco generic cafeteria chili.

Hahah. My thoughts exactly. That underwhelming artificial tree doesn’t deserve Walt’s name on it.

Facts. I went to MK last year and they were offering “Walt’s Chili Cheese Hot Dogs” somewhere.

Yeah.

is the tree fake? I thought the tree was real and the root were fake.

I've seen freeways take less time to build than that.

It's not like they bulldozed it and built a new one. They might have made it earthquake proof.

That’s right. It is real. Just the “roots” are fake.

Yeah - I dunno. It’s just what it is, they take forever these days for whatever they decide they want to take forever on.

The only downfall for me is when construction walls and scaffolding lingers for far too long, which is unsightly.

But how long the treehouse takes apart from that is… inconsequential for me.
