True. The point is it's much lighter than she looks.

I don't think they've announced a set date. The track repair was, I believe, not something that was originally planned. They were finishing up the refurb on the boat and discovered that the track was really in need of some TLC, so it was easier to go ahead and get that done while the boat was still in dry-dock. They seem to be taking care of it fairly quickly, though. I don't know if they will need to replace track all around or if it was just this particular section that was in bad shape. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Never knew that the river wasn't so deep, also I know this is a thread for the riverboat but could anyone explain why when they were bringing Fantasmic over to WDW they didn't place it in MK, I know the fact that there wasn't really a place to put it, but couldn't they have just built a stage for it? (When I think ROA I think Fantasmic because Disneyland)
Capacity, logistics, parade route, Studios needed it, studios had room...
Never knew there was such a "Filth muck buildup" in there. I guess it's not all that surprising when you think about it.

I always thought it'd be funny if they did the electrical water pageant on the RoA. Haha

Yeah. Think about the slime that develops in a disused swimming pool over a couple of years and then think of how long the RoA goes without being cleaned. It's still far-cleaner than I expected it would be. They seem to do a really good job of keeping it as litter-free as possible.

Kind of makes you wish they would run a pool filter on RoA. (I know it's impractical - especially since it connects to Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake.) I wonder if they do occasional dredging? Or is there too much danger of damaging the track? They could always do the dredging with pumps like the ones in Bering Sea Gold.

It doesn't appear that there was a great deal of muck clean up from drainage to refill.
I wonder if they will ever clean up the 7 Seas and Bay Lake. Does anybody know if they do any type of cleaning or filtering? Close to 50 years of fuel and trash build up. I understand that the waterways and canals are connected but that water is so polluted its disgusting. So much for environmentally.
The 7 Seas was once swimmable now trash collects on the shorelines.
Very sad.
