Splash Mountain Disrepair

[JungleSkip]

Let's just hope it's at least enough to alleviate the number of future headless animations.

See, that's the problem. If the structural problems are as bad as I'm meant to believe, there's not going to be much focus on the show elements.

Not sure of the accuracy of this but we may see this time period extended or see this mountain go down for 5-6 months after the Christmas rush next year.

I just want the animatronics to keep their body parts together. Is that so much to ask?

So we're going to have to wait over a year to get these things fixed?

It really needs to be shut down for a year.

The problems is, so do 3-4 other rides in the park.:bang:

I think HTF meant that after this year's Christmas rush, which ends January, next year, we will see the ride close sooner and stay closed longer than the 2 and a half months. I say keep it closed until it is 100% completely fixed. And if vacations are ruined, tell the whiners to take a hike. LOL.

3 Month refurb in 2013

Great, meaning Jungle Cruise, Peter Pan, Pirates, and Space Mountain will continue crumble

Ok, so by 2014 the mountain will produce a rock slide. Great. Way to go TDO. Way to go. They just need to fix it now.

Again nothing confirmed guys just sharing, don't panic....yet

Like TDO would throw any money at Space after they did the full refurb what, 3 years ago?

Jungle Cruise and Pan definitely need work, and Pirates wouldn't be getting any money thrown their way either after the mermaids. Regardless of what they money would be used for. Kinda like Dinosaur. Needs the money to fix what they have, but rather gets money for new things.

It is also partially a PR game, or mostly a PR game in these cases. What sounds better generally?

Hey come check out some enhancements to this attraction

vs

We finally fixed what was broken.

Well, they should be doing both...

 

[Splatter]

No argument there. But this is TDO, the bare minimum is commonly the goal.

The past 3 years, one of the mountains should have gone down for a year a piece for extensive work.

Space should have gone down for a complete rebuild like Disneyland.

But we got an enclosed queue..

And games!

Yup. And Disneyland's ride is leaps and bounds better than any coaster in WDW (IMO). And I know you know that, it just has to be said.

IIRC Disneyland's Space Mountain is just one big right turn. What's so special about that? :shrug:
