News Liberty Square Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island closing for lengthy refurbishment

Currently watching a live stream of someone on the Liberty Belle and I’m very happy to announce that the Baldwin whistle has returned! Sometimes it’s nice to be proven wrong!

Yes! And it’s not a simple thing to do. Someone explained the process to me and it’s much more than just bolting a new one on.

Some of my fav LB photos:

This photo is notable because they were actually using the searchlight! It can pan to point out the scenes at night.

Sooooo is “Harper’s Mill” gonna return to Harper’s Mill?

Any thing different out there?

Any thing different out there?

Would love to see some love given to the island itself. Honestly, after getting rid of the Sorcerer's quest, the island would be a perfect place to set up something like that instead. Imagine little hidden kiosks all over the place, and not getting in anyone's way.

Beautiful! Looks like they did a great job!

Looks like they still have the little single chime tweet whistle on it.

The old deep throated (Baldwin) whistle is back. Thank the lord!

I noticed that there was a bugle charge from Ft Langhorn, as the LB passed by. It's been a very long time since I've personally heard it. Was this a recently restored piece of audio, or has it always been sounding and I've just missed hearing it? Would love to have the wolf at the HM restored.

 

[Captain Barbossa]

Not sure if it’s possible, or if anyone happens to know, but I’d love to find out what kind of whistle was the original.

Early reports are no barrel bridge or access to the fort. I guess still under refurbishment?

Are the caves on the Island open or closed due to COVID restrictions?

If you can't get to the fort the caves are not accessible?

If they aren't going to give us a 5th park, they should at least get rid of the empty and bad spots.

Tomorrowland looks the worst right now. Not only does it look plainer, but stitch should be gone and Monsters and the dreadful Speedway really don't fit the theming.

Correct, there are two caves on south island (mystery mine and injun joe) and fort escape cave/tunnel at fort langhorn on north island.
