Do we know if this is anything more than normal maintenance?

Probably normal maintenance. Because it's a boat ride, they need to drain it, clean the track, get the coins, etc.

Coming soon: Coco's Tequila Bar!

In all seriousness, this is just a standard refurb. No need to cancel your vacation plans due to this happening.

I said "no need to cancel your vacation plans". Stop it! Seriously, put down your phone. And get off your computer, you're not cancelling because of this.

I'll be back... *sigh*...

Put this attraction out of its misery. It so badly needs a retheme.

While I agree with you the problem is that the pavilion has trouble handling the lines the ride gets now so if you retheme it to anything remotely interesting some serious capacity issues arise.

plus the tequila bar in there doesn't help with the hordes of people, how all that meets fire code I would love to know, its way too many.

It's about time Disney got a water ride with inversions.

I also wonder if now any new Coco attraction is more likely to be a future expansion at Tropical Americas than at Mexico Pavilion or at MK as was rumored.

I really wish they would figure out a way to bring Coco to the Mexico Pavilion... I am sure it could be done...they just seem to not care about it...
