Crews are working throughout the former Splash Mountain attraction at Magic Kingdom as work continues on the early stages of the re-imagining of the flume ride into Tiana's Bayou Adventure.

This morning a crane is onsite lifting what appears to be scaffolding parts into various sections of the mountain.

Elsewhere, Imagineers are walking the ride path and marking various sections for attention.

A section has been cut into the rockwork near the splash-down area.

Lol. I give up.

That would explain why I didn't get a card last year! (I don't actually use it lol)

Oh yes. Not offensive to anyone with Cajun ancestry AT ALL.

I work in an environment with High School Aged Students, and a kicker that once got me was when speaking of great movies. The Dark Knight's Heath Ledger role came up. Just so everyone knows. Heath Ledger is referred to as "The old Joker" It makes sense in perspective. But to me The Old Joker is maybe Jack Nicholson at this point or Caesar Romero is where my mind first goes. That one made me feel aged instantly. That being said. Twlight Zone is such a zeitgeist in itself and High schoolers don't really know a lot of things the same way. Muppets for example. But that age is only one audience segment.

Oooooh opening date game? This is fun because it doesn't involve arguing! My original guess in January was July 1, but now I'm with @ToTBellHop on June 28. Last Friday before the end of the fiscal quarter and Disney After Hours ends at Magic Kingdom on June 27. I can't see that end date being a coincidence.

Because they announced June, they are going to open "something" June 30th is my guess.

If only you had let them know sooner…

Oh we are placing bets for WDWMagic Brownie Points? Put me down for 6/28/24.

My guess was Memorial Day weekend. But that's not going to happen. My new guess is a few days after the media event but before the weekend.
