The clearance was under estimated, thus damage to both Dumbos and tiling around fountain.
Edit- Not my photo, I pulled it from a google search for "dumbo wdw damage"

Saw this last night on a FB group. Thought I'd share. Looks like boats are coming back from refurb.

great shot thanks...was there yesterday and you can see between the scaffolding and the building, if looking carefully, that the rock work waterfall opening is no more and closed in.

So how are the old boats working out? Leaking a rumor or confirmed? What about making the turn? No problems as expected lol, too much optimism?

Irrelevant to the vast majority of visitors. I'd guess that the amount of folks in the MK on any given day that have ever been to the California parks, let alone recently, is going to be well under 5%.
The two TLM rides were developed in tandem, and in truth - "clones" like that make a lot of sense. The average consumer expects Disneyland and WDW to offer similar experiences to begin with, and by splitting up the R&D Disney gets more bang for their buck (though they could get a whole lot more bang by also doing a number of other things, but that's a broader subject).
In any case, clone-phobia is a condition really only known to afflict hard-core message board fans.

Hate to see the waterfall and peek-a-boo boat "window" gone. But, I suppose that it wouldn't work in the new ride story line. I mean they are having too much to worry about with cramming this thing into Norway and all, to worry about how to explain an open window "falls"
Ain't No Body Got Time Fo that!

I heard they were only taking the boats off-site so that they can be cleaned properly. LOL

that and I imagine they want to keep some frigid cold air from going outside....

the measurements would have been dead on, if they had allowed for the thickness of the tiles themselves...

Looks like at least some slight changes to the forward areas.
Here's a pic of when the boats left to go to refurb.

Here's a better view of both before refurb and red in-set of after refurb.

Which would be enough to get a construction crew fired from a commercial build. I'm sure not so much the same for Disney.
Regardless, an error was made, damage was done, more money had to be shelled out to repair, and a quick fix had to be figured out and implemented. All of which costs time and money. None of which would have been necessary ifit were done correctly the first time.
But this thread isn't about Dumbo
Has anyone heard rumblings of boats in the water? @marni1971

I am more interested on why she is riding that thing and talking on the phone?

Could the damage be because the metal expanded in hot days and thus had enough length difference to cause damage?

Maybe they could slow down a bit and measure three times? After all they just zipped through this little refurb?

Don't forget that the queue is part of the attraction and the place that you spend the most time in. It's not like they just put up pleasant wallpaper and that was it. The LM is a complete thing that includes the queue. Queue's are not just an after thought with little to no importance. The last time they did anything with as much detail as LM was when they designed ToT. A whole lot of that attraction is the queue as well. Think bigger people. An attraction isn't just when you get to park your butt in a ride vehicle or a theater seat.
