Jungle Cruise rehab

[marni1971]

C'mon you locals - no pics yet of the walls now up around the JC? Or a prying look at the empty river?

 

[Master Yoda]

No pictures but the walls are extensive to say the least. They are at the top of the stairs and continue to nearly PotC and the Tree house. Quite a bit for a supposed minor 2 week refurb if you ask me.

Did it just go into refurb? I rode it three days ago!

 

[EpcotServo]

I assume it won't come back loaded with tons of the new WDI effects and such...

 

[marni1971]

Yep, the walls are major - both on and off stage. I guess to hide the view of no water.

Nope, no new effects are planned this time, but a LOT of TLC is

Yes it was walled up when I was there yesterday.

Isn't at least a portion of Jungle Cruise visible from the WDW Railroad and/or Swiss Family Treehouse?

Something JC is in dire need of.

I imagine they will also take this time to finalize some extras for the next more extensive refurb?

Awww mannnnn.....they started this week? That figures....
I was in town yesterday and didn't even go over to MK.

Not this time....likely a little later.
Trust me, the TLC it's getting is VERY needed and overdue.

Anyone know how long this refurb is going?

 

[Buried20KLeague]

No one has climed the Swiss Family Treehouse for pics yet?

Or is that shut off from prying eyes as well... :lookaroun

But really, what rehab at Kingdom ISN'T very needed and overdue?

:ROFLOL:

I kid, I kid. I'm just dying to get all those neat effects...

2 weeks.

I wish I would have thought of that while I was there yesterday but I was distracted by a dole float.:brick:

 

[bluejayx]

dole floats can do that.

I didn't think you could actually see JC from the treehouse. The JC canals ans the treehouse are not really that close ans the trees really do a great job isolating the JC. The JC service building is somewhat close but well hidden.

I'm not saying we'll get major new additions, but it would be cool if we got a little surprise when it reopens.

Surprises will come later. The JC needs to reopen so they can do remidial work elsewhere before summer.

Here is hoping they put ramps in instead of those stairs. You just don't expect stairs in the pathways and at dusk they are very difficult to see. In fact I think those may be the only stairs that are on any of the pathways. They are somewhat dangerous. Just my 2 cents.

TLC is always good...can't wait to see what all is in store.
