New railing at Splash Mountain

[Wannabe Walt]

I'm not sure when it was added, nor did I get a picture (SORRY!!!!)...

but the first part of the queue at Splash Mountain has all new wood railings. Same style as the previous ones, just new timber. They really stand out from everything else because they are not worn and weathered like the surroundings. I'd bet within a few months they will start looking a bit more in place.

Sorry if this has been posted already -- I didn't see anything about it elsewhere.

Really? Interesting, hopefully someone comes to supply pictures.

Nothing wrong with some fresh timber.

I don't have pics of the Splash queue, but other railings in the area look to have been replaced.

Nice to see my favorite land getting some TLC. Thanks for the pics, RAXIP!

Now if only they could rid themselves of that blasted lightpole at the Donald meet and greet.

You're welcome.

What do you think of these lights in FL?

seeing those photos is making me think they are testing different LED lights to see which one works the best, then deploy them :shrug:

Well it looks like they made an attempt to theme it with some crates, but can't they do this testing during 3rd shift? In the words of Gunnery Sgt. Hartmann, these lights are ugly enough to be a modern art masterpiece!

It's nice to see some small upgrades to frontierland. The railings make the whole area look fresher, and the lights are nicely themed.

Just got back, and while at B.T.M. I noticed, and took photos of those railings! Thought they looked cheaply done using regular store bought pressure treated post and rail. Not themed to look old, and weathered just Home depot looking fence.

Thanks for the pix, do not need to load mine.

The posts will weather on their own in good time. If they used pre-weathered timber, it wouldn't last as long.


As for pictures, what RAXIP posted was exactly what I was talking about. All of the Splash queue has been done, while BTMR is only the very beginning of the entrance. Maybe they finished it last night? Hopefully I'll get to MK pretty soon again to take a look.

The lights appear to be just testing, but who knows? *shrugs*

AFAIK, those are put in place for MNSSHP and MVMCP. They should be gone by early January. I'm not sure about the Donald meet and greet light pole, though.

And start letting the Country Bear Jamboree do its annual Christmas and Vacation show overlays again.

Splash railings are still new looking:

Thanks for the update, RAXIP! They look much better.

Is it bad that new railings have me excited? I really need to go back to Disney soon!
