Splash Mountain Disrepair

[Jakemeister]

Splash Mountain closed 1/2/2013- 3/19/2013 according to the DIS so hope alot of love then

It is definitely going down for a lengthy refurb.

I heard some speculation over at WDW Magic that this is the same sort of thing that happened to 10,000 Leagues before it closed...I couldn't see them taking away Splash..but the characters aren't exactly marketable anymore

I will laugh so hard when this becomes the Lone Ranger Water Adventure or something.

It is definitely going down for a lengthy refurb.

2 months isn't really lengthy...It went down for 2 months in 2011 too.

I would literally never visit Disney World again until they put it back. :meditate:

So yea...

Falling rockwork, some severe leaks, and more show issues than you can shake a stick at.

I told people on a certain Magical site years ago that things at MK would be getting worse before they got better. This is the first sign of that, IMO.

And if you think everything will be fixed in the refrub, go ride WDW's Big Thunder Mountain and come back and tell me you still believe.

This has become so ridiculous that it just puts a Mona Lisa smile on my face. There is no sense of being frustrated about these shortcomings at this point. There are just too many drop-the-ball issues.

Yup.

My solution: Just go to Disneyland.

I rode BTM after the refurb and it did seem a lot better, and refreshed. Splash Mountain seems to be one of the only attractions that is showing some excessive wear and tear, it seems to be constantly down.

It still has a ton of inoperable effects.

Splash is the worst. I wouldn't say one of the only.

If there are inoperable effects, they are not very noticeable, the only effect that I dislike are the bats. Splash, however, I do agree with. Everytime I ride it, I get stuck in the in end scene for a period of time.

Knock it down. There must be at least 4 or 5 generations that don't even know the story.

Irrelevant. Haunted Mansion and Small World don't have familiar stories. Should we knock them down as well?

Well Small World yes..but Haunted Mansion no..

Well Small World yes..but Haunted Mansion no..

Walt's alrleady flipping over in his grave after both alcohol in Be Our Guest and replacing the Main Street Bakery with a Starbucks. Taking out Small World is sacrilege.

You mean the same Walt Disney who let Frito Lay, Dole, and countless others have corporate sponsorships in his park?

 

[Brian G.]

The same Walt who banned men with long hair from entering the park...Alcohol is not a big deal. It's not like you can see a cart being pushed down Main St offering Jello Shots...
