Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Discussion Thread

[SharkTums]

Just here to say I love all of your responses to this. Also adding, maybe they were just changing it over to a Finding Nemo ride?!

[cfc]

Well, the boats were inspired by the The African Queen, a Bogart movie. Maybe they were replicating this scene.

"A three hour tour...."

Splash Mountain re-opened after refurb today, got on after a short breakdown and.... all the animatronics were off. Really odd when its that quiet.

Haunted Mansion was apparently down for a few days last week and the cast members were acting it out scene by scene for everyone since they couldn’t ride it. I highly recommend watching every second of this.

They've done something similar when Jungle Cruise was down for some rehab. I love it when Disney does things like this.

^^ that's really fantastic.

 

love it

This seems like something we'd see at Tokyo Disneyland!

[oriolat]

I saw this at Fantasyland when Mine Train was down! Those times when attractions went down and we got creative were the best ones!

^ So it's that girl's fault! If she just sat down on that compartment door there'd be no leak. Sheesh, people!

Castle painting update from today.

 

It should look great by the time they re-open.

Blog Mickey posted aerial photos of the parks this morning and that looks like a cropped/zoomed version of one of theirs.

It’ll be interesting to see what projects get done during these weeks/months that the parks will be closed. I’m sure they have a list of projects that can only be done in the absence of any guests that could never be taken care of until now.

The biggest place they hopefully can get some work done at is epcot.

And Rise of the Resistance

[Canobie Coaster]

^ That was my first thought when this closure was announced since it lets the park hash out the bugs without needing to take the ride down for an official rehab.

 

Hagrid's better do the same.

[KBrylczyk]

Could you imagine them running RotR at maximum overdrive nonstop right now to hunt down every bug? That's gotta be something else, man.

You would think itd be due for an extended refurb at some point. There was talk of it in 2018. Its going on 14 years of near daily use so im surprised it hasnt happened already.

[ytterbiumanalyst]

I've always assumed it was the biggest attraction at Animal Kingdom and guests would be really upset if it were closed, so they were always afraid to close it just for an animatronic. But yeah, if it's gotta go down for track replacement, then the yeti should be part of that work. It's not like people don't notice the yeti. It's huge. It's HUGE!

[CaptainUnknown]

I'm not sure where this originated, but I thought it was worth a giggle and share here.

[thepoint4life23]

I thought i heard that they just said the Yeti will never work!
