Glad to see the winter refurbs starting to be announced.

All that water, they get shut down at this time every year, ironically, to NOT become FROZEN.

Thanks! I'm here all week!

↩ replying to wmtpcantuatThough it had some "minor" updates it was a very long refurb... The things that they added make the ride fun and new again, I never get old of this ride but this is a refurb that Disney hit on the head perfectly. I would actually consider it a "major" refurb/ upgrade. New trains and a much smoother ride with amazing effects that are not really wowed until seen in person.

This really stinks. I am running the Disney Marathon again this year and Splash Mountain is always closed. I have gone during different times of the year before and love Splash Mountain. Like I said this really stinks!!!

↩ replying to Edward Jacksonevery year at this time how about move this refurb around every once in awhile for those of us who get vacation at this time or run the marathon

At least it's not 3 months this year for splash! First time in two years that it wont be down for 3 months

Then you will get the peak season hot summer complaints informing us it makes no sense to do this when you can do it in a slower colder (not that FL is ever cold ;) to me) season.

↩ replying to Goofnut1980"mini update'? Disneyland's BTM was closed for over 14 months for its update; January 7, 2013 to March 17, 2014.
I'm not sure Magic Kingdom Park operations could handle a mountain E Ticket being closed for over a year. Especially in the age of FP+ where people are reserving 90-second teacup rides 60 days in advance.

↩ replying to TP2000True, but didn't we just have the major overhaul? Couldn't the falling rock tunnel be added in a few weeks? Oh wait, its TDO.. baaahahahahahahahaha

I think the new trains threw them off because they weighed more from my understanding. Therefore they had to recalibrate the whole ride as if it were new. It was also an extensive referb for the whole ride to be touched up to look new with the additions they put in.

For the first time in forever (pun intended), I might actually get to ride Kali -- will be open for the first 3 days of our trip. Been several times, and it's either been on refurb or out of commission every time.

Does Splash Mountain close for a month every winter? It was shut down for all of February this year, and now it's closing again for most of January. Seems odd to close it regularly for that long, is there a particular reason?

↩ replying to ChernabogglesIt's a very wet ride in a very muggy state.
