Don't worry, I am sure there is a 2 year shutdown and rehab in the works...

And expect multiple breakdowns to follow right after opening...
Are you being sarcastic? I haven’t been paying attention to the refurb schedule, so I didn’t know that if you’re not.

Yes it was sarcasm about how Disney has stopped doing normal maintenance, putting it off till the "major rehab" of the attraction.
I just find it weird they repainted the rest of the attraction except for the final room.

They’re a lot better now than when they were in the early 2010’s, but they still have a lot to improve on.That is weird. WDW loves to repaint stuff rather than fix stuff.....

I don't remember what the ceilings of the other Small World rooms look like, but my first thought was that it's intentional. Supposed to fade into the black ceiling and be less noticeable than cutting in a dimly lit dark ride. Maybe I'm an idiot.

I have no way of knowing whether you are an idiot or not, but I don't see it as needing painting.
I see it as a specific set design. Sometimes if something isn't shiny then one thinks it is old and faded. I don't think it is the case with this one, but I could be wrong.Notice I didn't call myself an idiot. I have been on the boards long enough to not provide anymore ammunition to others then absolutely necessary.

Hopefully after it’s two year refurb it reopens as a tangled boat ride.

Haven’t they been gone for years?

Whole ride is a mess right now. I don't think I've ridden it once over the past 5 years and not had at least 3 dolls missing. Plus whatever happened to the tightrope walker at the end? That one truly baffles me as it just disappeared one day but unlike most figures, it just never returned.

Maybe TDO was afraid it might someday fall on someone, like the branch at Tree of Life...

I would love to see the tight rope walker and bike rider back. Two vacant wires in the final room with nothing on them.

Seems like they let attractions go right to the very end when they're at the point of looking dingy. I guess that's what you call 'maximization of use life.' Last one I remember that was looking poor was Buzz Lightyear about a year ago. The bright paint on the cars was fading and some of the paint in the rooms was looking dull. When we last visited, I noticed that everything looking bright and fresh. It looked really good.

I have to say that it absolutely amazes me that you folks can notice that any are missing after seeing hundreds in the ride. What is so special about one or two dolls that makes them stand out enough to be remembered after any absence? They could rearrange the entire sequence of the countries and I probably wouldn't notice and I have been on it every visit over 37 years and 46 visits. I'm not being critical, I just find it mind-bogglingly amazing. Probably why I'm not a historian.

It more about integrity and quality rather than memory, especially when paying an ever increasing amount.
Disney wishes people didn't notice when things go "missing..." but we should hold them accountable.
