Those were for brand new structures/ride systems etc. But yes they were very long processes.

Splash was in a pretty dire state yesterday. Lots of broken animatronics, broken water features, and just in an overall drab shape.
Neglecting maintenance definitely points to the retheme going forward.

Recently experienced the same thing . I am actually ok with a retheming and a new ride but not for the same reasons everyone else is.

I’m honestly fine with it at this point. If done well PatF can be a solid improvement.
Whether it will be done well has yet to be seen, but until it opens we won’t know.

Buddy of mine went a little less than a week ago and he said that Splash looked the best it’s been in a while, with Million Dollar Bunny being the only thing that wasn’t working.

WDW will have the benefit of guest feedback from DL. Since it will likely be a year or two later we could get an improved version.
I heard last week it was fine except for MdB. Then again Splash does suffer from little technical strokes every so often and

Even before the change was announced, the only way to ride Splash Mountain and see effects working consistently was to ride it at TDL.
Scenes like this at Tokyo are better than Orlando and mop the floor with California

and their MDB actually works
I'm willing to bet that if they had an EE their Yeti would still be functional
With d23 coming up, think we'll get anything announced about Splash? I think we'll just get the mention and that's it

I’d say a Disneyland closing date and a small mention of WDW. (If any mention at all of that one)

If they decide to go ahead with MKs redo, I wouldn’t imagine they would close it now, or anytime until close to if not after the 50th celebration, which is 18 months from October 1st. Just my two cents

I think the consensus is no earlier than January 2023 for MK.

They’ll probably be like “Splash is closing January something something at Disneyland. Stay tuned for updates on Walt Disney World’s in the future”
Prob the usual spiel about Tiana and bringing diversity to the parks for like 4 seconds then talk about EPCOT

“When we looked at Splash Mountain Blah blah blah….
Anyways. Enough about that. Y’all like Figment? Well here’s a new line of Figment pins.”

Sounds about right - "We are excited to announce that Splash Mountain at both The Magic Kingdom & Disneyland Park will at some point close for a transformation into a brand new, all-inclusive but not-very-diverse water-ride, Lame Adventures with Princess Tiana! We know you're as excited as we are for this amazing attraction!"
Hopefully some booing occurs.
