That is sadI love Splash mountain.
Dude, keep up with the times. It's undergoing a major refurb as we speak.
It is very sad, Splash is my favorite ride. Hopefully later this month when it reopens we will all be pleasantly suprised by a thorough top to bottom refurb. By all accounts, this sounds like it will be the case.That is sad

I wouldn't hold your breath. The past has taught us to expect the least amount of work for the most amount of time.
Yeah thats why I am hoping. I am going on what some insiders have said, but I will be waiting for photo evidence. I have this awful feeling that the tarps will still be up in the load/unload area.

My thoughts as well. Nothing in recent history suggests doing more than the bare minimum. Even if it does open looking grand, it still has to be kept in such a condition instead of being allowed to fall apart and rot again.

I am hoping that it will come out of its refurb just a day or so sooner...possible sneak peek for our Senior Trip.

Went to MK tonight and they were testing the ride.
We'll see, and fingers crossed.

Great to hear them testing....let's hope that the work is completed and that the Critters can open ahead of schedule.

Do you know if they're just testing the ride in the evening hours?

Here's hoping for an early opening. I would love to see and ride before we leave on the 15th.

I am eager to see the results of this rehab. Hopefully it is worth my not getting to ride it in January.

I hope it can open a little early for next week as I don't know when I'll be back after next week. Either way hope they open when they're ready and they do it right.

I made a comment about the poor condition of the ride last time I was there back in 2010. The anamatronics (and I assume parts of the facade) are not able to withstand the constant high humidity and its finally taking its toll. I would hope with the refurb they are smart and use more water resistant materials or do a waterproofing treatment on everything before they reopen.

I'm in your camp, I'm guarded. We've seen the bondo repair to the outside holes, curious to see what they accomplished to the actual show within the mountain. Hoping, but I'd be stupid not to be guarded. Expect the very minimum and our dreams will not be squashed.
Not really. Look at how long Kali was down and the little they did, right down to leaving the mildew on most of the rafts. PoC queue, it amounted to lengthening on queue and shortening the other for FP+ by adding a few walls. Country Bears came back spiffed up with sections of the show sliced and diced out and animatronics not matching the sound track, Test Track came back much later than its original September date and a chunk of the 'new' wasn't functioning. Dumbo came out pretty but sadly one or the other spinner is frequently down totally messing with the stand-bye spot and that is just a spinner ride.
At least the Bakery at France was a Win! Win! Not holding out the same expectations for the Main Street Bakery. Hoping they don't mess up Cali.
