I think that BTMRR was down in 2007 for a refurb. My son couldn't ride it at 2 years old in 2005 but then at 4 (in 2007) he could but it wasn't running due to a refurb.

Any word on if this refurb will include queue updates.

Where does it say it re-opens on 28th May? Is that confirmed from WDW themselves?

Glad it's getting some TLC, but bummed as I love it and I'll be there in February when it's down.

The riverboat is set to close January 28-February 3. Perhaps that's related (to get equipment into the area?). Either way, it does not seem that they plan on closing and draining all of the Rivers of America.

Until there's a constant rotation of rides being refurbed, I can't say that's the case.

I did say "starting to." :wave: I fully agree with your assertion that there needs to be a constant rotation.

Hopefully, they can get it done right and not feel the need to rush out a lesser product.

I know! I just sure hope the falling rock scene gets fixed or maybe even enhanced.

I was actually considering sending Meg an email commenting on some of the "positive" steps that we've been seeing.
I'm sure an email from yours truly would be worthy of being framed in her office! :ROFLOL:

Don't you dare... the complacency will kick back in!
Agreed.
You don't commend Disney for fixing what never should have been falling apart to begin with.
They haven't been doing a good job and now when they start doing something that should haven't of ever been needed, you don't praise.
You turn the heat up on other issues they have.
I have a visit coming up and I already expect that only two major MK attractions will be remotely close to the condition they should be -- and both are in LS.

^ The Tiki Room should be ok, unless they've already let that go.
The Speedway should also be running just fine. :lookaroun

I'll admit i haven't read the whole thread but lets also remember that Dumbo will be closing the first week of January leaving another majorly popular attraction closed in MK. That's 3 if they choose to close Splash like they normally do. I'm happy to see that the upkeep is taking place but God bless the CMs in MK Guest Relations because they're going to get an earful of angry guests. I'm sure of that. :shrug:

They're doing all this for the anticipated guests coming for the FLE. I remember reading awhile back that they planned on freshening up as much as possible so that the MK looks its best by the opening of FLE, probably more so for all the visitors who haven't been in a decade that will come check out some of the new offerings. We'll see if TDO keeps this kind of maintenance up a couple years after FLE has lost its newness and things return to "normal" in MK.
