Splash Mountain fall refurbishment 2017

[marni1971]

Not exactly what I would describe as a long refurb

That’s all that’s needed.

I've read that the ride system had gone to hell and is in terrible shape.

Edit: thank goodness that's not the case then

The attraction does need work but this is all that’s needed for the scene change.

Sorry for not reading all of the pages.. but has an opening date been released? Is the 16th still good?

 

[Princess Leia]

Is it still scheduled to open on Friday? I’ve been eyeing the app and it’s still down will it be up and running for Thanksgiving weekend?

Well my first 3 are booked for the 27th, but that’s really good to know!

Yep, and it looks good too from the outside. I wanted to hop onto a log and ride. I’d make a good test subject...I’d sign a waiver

Bluebird at the end still not working.

 

[smile]

oddly enough, turns out that little bluebird is connected to the foundation of the mountain itself

Classic.

Once they build the Tron Coaster, they'll be taking down Splash Mountain for a few months to fix the bluebird and reinforce the stress cracks the bluebird's motion inflicted on the mountain's underlying girders. Until then, there will be a disco light, but for maximum effect, it will shine directly into guests' faces.

Is Brer Rabbit jumping? Or did they still not put that animatronic back?

Of course it's not running, it's Supposed to hop
