Doesn't quite line up, but I'm dying to know what this is now.

If this does turn out to be related to the new project, my guess would be Buford. The details I saw line up pretty well.

But admittedly it would be weird for them to just leave a head mold (or anything project-related) sitting in that spot.

Umm I’d say that lines up.

I went and got my last ride in yesterday. I'll miss it, but bring on the future.

You're going to love it! Be prepared to wrestle with these basic questions and emotions during/after riding the Tokyo Splash Mountain...

• There is an actual plot to this ride that I can follow even though the dialogue is in Japanese? I had no idea!
• CM's can be pleasant and efficient at the same time? I had no idea!
• All the effects can work on a water ride, even in a climate like Tokyo that is harsh and humid and punishing? I had no idea!
• Disney can operate a wet water ride but send perfectly dry seats into the loading station without fail? I had no idea!
• Animatronics can still move and emote like Tony Baxter designed them to in 1988? I had no idea!

Ha. Yeah. I am looking forward to visiting a place that still feels like The Disney Decade. As a bonus, I have a nearly three year old daughter that will be of height due to the requirement differences. Amazing.

Only four days left for Classic Splash. Is anyone here gonna be at DL for the sendoff?

I wanted to time my trip to the park with the closure of the ride but I wasn't able to. Lines would've likely been hell to go through, though.

I'm excited. I heard from a few others that Tony Baxter was impressed with what they had come up with, so my expectations are high without feeling like I'm setting myself up for disappointment.

I take that with a grain of salt. Former Disney Employee gives approval to the inevitable plan to update attraction.

Tony left early in the project. Word is he and the Imagineers had vividly different ideas for what to do with Splash so he left.

There's an awful lot of 'words' and 'heards' for sure.

That’s a bad sign.

 

[Andrew_Korenchkin]

Did he? Ah well, so much for clinging on to that for hope. But yeah, that's definitely a bad sign.

 

[PiratesMansion]

Some said he was more involved than people expected, now some are saying he left early.

Who really knows?

Surprisingly, it doesn't seem too bad today. Only a 55 minute wait at 5:30 PM on the Holiday weekend. Only 2 days left after today.

It’s cold/ overcast and Disneyland AP’s have been getting their “last rides” in for months.

 

[EagleScout610]

I expect lines to rocket up on the last day like it did in Florida. Then again Google is saying it'll only be 70 and cloudy so who knows how much that'll impact lines.

yeah I'd expect last day of operation to be a whole different animal.

On Tuesday evening I am now planning to find one of those not-too-annoying YouTube people who live stream from the park. Then I'll pull their feed up on the big TV, make myself a strong cocktail to toast Brer Rabbit and Tony Baxter with, and just wince and scrunch up my face at the live stream drama from the safety of my TV room for as long as I can stand it.
