Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid closing for month long refurbishment Feb 2-Mar 6

[marni1971]

If only it would be brought back. I've long thought that moving Laugh Floor to DHS in an expanded Pixar Place combined with replacing it in TL with a Tron coaster would be a nice upgrade to both places. Since Tron is being built in Shanghai anyway, how expensive would it be to clone it?

That was pretty much the plan.

I'd doubt WDWs was the same as SDL. All interior I was told.

All you have to do is look at a map or aerial image.

yeah no kidding, try it and you'll see what I'm talking about

The Disneyland Paris website sure seems to think Pirates of the Caribbean is where you claim is an expansion pad.

TRON coaster was mooted in the parking lot behind the MKs Buzz Lightyear. Entrance via what is TLF. Exit via the Toy Story meet n roller shutter.

Long buried now.

Too bad.

My goodness...how about that little mermaid though, those bright lights and figures will hopefully look much better in about a month now!

hey did you all hear they are tearing down the hat?

 

[VJ]

So..uh..Little Mermaid..Hat's going down..the Hub's getting ripped out...

 

[marni1971]

Sorry guys, @The Mom and @wdwmagic for the mess of the thread drift. I didn't really ask for it.

Actually I'm not sure what I asked for.

In the meantime, yes it's coming down. Though I'd imagine if the raised foundation is being removed that may be a bit more work to do behind the walls even with the structure gone. (And yes I've now been told this is about Mermaid, not the hat)

you forgot the new EPCOT Frozen area with bathrooms! The water will probably be frozen too though... may not be a pleasant experience but throw in a park bench and I'm there!

 

[marni1971]

Lol. I'm obviously so flustered I got the thread wrong.

Hats down. Mermaid is not. Lest anyone wonder.

Edit..... Some earlier posts have gone to moderator heaven. Should anyone think the thread went crazier than usual.

With this refurb now underway, should we expect to see the changes DCA got once it's back open or will we get the short end of the stick again?

Main entrance? Really electric vehicle size.

A bullion truck had to be modified back in the day to fit in. I'm sure Google can show you since its backstage. There again, I'm not a CM

Wow...is maintenance at WDW so spread thin now that they cannot even replace the 'M' in 'Kingdom' here...?


I realize this is 'off stage'...but if i came to work everyday via this entrance and saw that dilapidated signage i would find it a bit disheartening.

Anyone know if they will fix the flotsam and jetsam scene? That one looks terrible when you look up you can see catwalk and everything.

Not sure when that pic was taken, but the M is indeed in place there.

He didn't specify where the stick was going.

Ah...so it has been returned to it's place then.
That is good to hear !

I'd like to see the Speedway as a Cars themed attraction in DHS and removed from the Magic Kingdom entirely. Even though DHS is smaller, the space in the Magic Kingdom is more valuable.

I'd be for that except the the Cars racers at DCA.. Now that that exists I'd much rather them bring that to DHS.

Speedway at MK could go away at this point, though.
