Plussing this attraction would be awesome, but to re theme it or take anything away from how wonderful it currently is/always has been will be a sin. After Tarzan's Treehouse's cold reception, I doubt it would change. I'm not expecting it to though.

I just don't want to see a repeat of the atrocity that currently exists at DLR. And as far as the Disney incarnations of these stories goes, I'd consider Swiss Family Robinson FAR more classic than Tarzan.

If by "classic" you mean "hasn't been popular for decades", you would be correct!

It could most definitly use a refurb, last time I was there the water from the bamboo pipes was pooring all over a desk with books on it. But ten weeks hard to fathom what they have planned.

Not saying this is happening, but I'd rather not see a cheap Tarzan overlay...not because I don't like the concept of a Tarzan attraction, but because the treehouse in the Tarzan movie looked decidedly different than the treehouse at the park right now. If they want to theme something, they should do it right.

Then again, ten weeks might be enough time to significantly remodel the thing if they wanted to.

Every time it goes under refurb...

Maybe it would be easier to start a thread of what's going to be open in 2016.

It's needs an elevator for EVC and stroller accessibility.

This is just enough of a diversion, because so many are too [insert word of choice] to climb "all those stairs" to look at stuff that doesn't "do" anything. A moment of peace, if timed correctly. And I still think the views are lovely at night too.

My only hope is IF there is any interactive additions, it is done in the spirit of the attraction. And, please, do not add an elevator/escalator. . . that being said, if it's just a refurb for cleaning and spiffing up, I'm more than fine with that.

Maybe it just needs to be freshened up and re-leafed (a term I invented). Maybe it will get new lighting to interact with Rivers of Light.

They reached an agreement... Comcast in the treehouse and Disney can use Maevel characters.

I guess the new all star, action-adventure movie being released next year won't count as being popular.......oh, yeah, it's titled 'Tarzan' !!

Every time what??

No offense but is this a joke?

I think he means every time the Treehouse goes down for refurb, rumors that Tarzan is moving in are spread online.

you did know that the tree is concrete and plastic, right?

 

[dstrawn9889]

a true 'Disneyodendron SemperFlorens Grandis' (meaning a large, ever-blooming Disney tree.)

Sadly, I was thinking that it surely isn't ADA compliant......

I haven't been up the Treehouse in 3 years. I hope they do something with it.

I love the Tree House.
It's one of my earliest classic memories, and to this day I marvel at the detail in all of the rooms and wish I can spend the night up there.
It's one of those attention to detail things that Disney does so well.
One of my sons in particular likes it, and we greatly enjoy running up the stairs and enjoying the views - I have one fond memory of being up there one night and talking to my son.
