Pumbas Nakasak
Heading for the great escape.
Its about time, all that drinking has taken its toll.
You'll definitely see some fresher looking animals after this refurb. Painting is in process, but it depends on the animal.I noticed some of the AAs needed a new coat of paint. Are they doing that?
C'mon jt04, take it easy. I told you, I am willing to answer your questions. But as maggiegrace1 said, I do have a life outside of WDWMagic and I had to leave my computer for a couple hours. No need to "call my bluff".![]()
Even though I am a seasonal CM, I am still a CM. I can get information from 1200 miles away just like Steve can from the other side of the pond.
Yes.
Thank you for backing me up maggiegrace1.:wave:
The construction wall is infront of those stairs because they do not want guests in that "entry plaza" area. We normally put a rope up in that same location when the attraction is closed simply because there is no need for guests to wander down there. Same with the ramp.Now since you admit you are not at WDW, I am just wondering why the construction wall is in front of the dreaded stairs since you say for sure they are not being removed. I just assume you have seen blueprints or you made a phone call to someone who is there. It just seems an odd place to put the wall if they are not doing work to the "entry plaza" of the JC. Just seeking clarification while at the same time walking on egg shells.![]()

The walls include the stair area to block the view of the load building and its interior.
It would make it super magical for me.Also if the river has been drained, I'm sure it would ruin some of the 'magic' to have guests see it, right?
As far as I know, Shrunken Ned's Junior Jungle Boats will be closed for the same duration.So are the remote control boats (or whatever that is to the left as you enter) also closed for the duration of the rehab?
Yes, people do trip on those stairs occasionally but I wouldn't call it a "chronic problem". I can't see why Disney would ever get rid of them. I mean, it's not like it's a hole in the ground or a slippery surface, where in those cases they would block it off or put up a yellow caution sign. They're just- stairs.:shrug:By the way, I found it fascinating that a Cast Member actually admitted that people falling on those stairs is a known and chronic problem to Disney employees. I am sure that Disney lawyers will find that "compelling" to say the least (but I digress). I really hope they remove those stairs for everone's sake.
I'm so glad you appreciate me now.Thanks for the info Magicot! You should post more often. You are an asset to WDWMagic

My understanding in talking to skippers is that the rehab is mostly just a cleaning and fixing. Drain the river, pressure wash, replace air hoses, repaint AAs, fix the water misters, perhaps newer speakers, minor boat work, and the biggest thing is an apparent new dock for load and unload.
Most everyone at JC says MK won't get new effects anytime soon if at all because DL never saw a significant increase in rider attendance because of the new effects so it doesn't justify spending money on ours if it won't increase ridership. Same reason there's no Christmas Country Bears. Spend money to increase attendance and attendance doesn't change significantly enough.
On a side note, don't expect SM to get anything big either or for the rehab to last much more than about 8 months - 10 months. All we'll probably see is some fixing of the attraction, replacing of tracks, and better lighting. No audio in the cars, no loops, nothing to write home about really (at least not at this point).
PS Where are the stairs at Space Mountain? I can't remember them.
In the beginning when you first enter the building.
...You hit the darkness inside and then the steps and turn right...
The SM stairs are only in the stand-by line, fastpass line has ramps.
