News Space Mountain and Disneyland Railroad closing for refurbishment in early August 2024

[AJFireman]

So looks like a complete refurbishment of the track for the Railroad with it all behind walls now.

Not the whole layout, only between Toontown and Main Street. The bit on the RoA is work on the bridge and railing, not the track itself.

Just rode the monorail - the tracks between small world and Tomorrowland are currently missing in action! Haha

Upon first reading, I wondered how you walked away from that unscathed.

Rode it last week. Great to have the lights working again but for some reason I thought they worked better on the POV I saw. The flashing looked faster, more trippy and vibrant than in person.

Aw really? The lights were fully functional (and looked damn good) on my ride yesterday. Let’s hope they’re not hit-or-miss already, yikes.

They appeared to be working fine. I think for whatever reason they seemed more impressive on the POV I watched.

Dang, looks like I’m gonna miss out on the railroad on my trip next month, though I am glad they’re doing all these refurbishments and getting the parks ready for the 70th.

Space Mountain is just about perfect right now! All those little details and effects really add up!

Any bets when the train station scrim will be down?

Middle of the month?

Went on Space Mountain last night, ride really is in the best shape its been in awhile.

Middle of the month?

I'm guessing around October 22

That would be a Tuesday which seems weird for a reopening, but I guess it could be. Also the tracks were seen being reinstalled this week. So suspect the DLRR will reopen in the next week or two.

Not necessarily the next week or two as they still need to test trains, make sure everything is working, make sure CMs still know their training, plus there's still so much work happening on Main Street Station and NOS Station, not to mention the work around the RoA bridge. Probably closer to the end of the month

We’ll see what happens.

I would expect the scrim down within a week or two though.

Hoping it’ll be open soon, I get to the parks on Saturday and the railroad’s one of my favorites.

It's still on the refurbishment calendar on November 27th; while it's always possible refurbishments can end early, I wouldn't count on this Saturday.

Sometimes they forget to take things off the refurb calendar for a bit.

Dave also mentioned how there has been painting going on behind the train station scrim last weekend. If that's so, we're probably close to the scrim coming down sometime next week I assume?

Definitely not by this weekend but there is a good chance by the following weekend if they are still on schedule
