Thread: Splash Mountain

Yup...I didn't realize it was covering February as well. So yes, more than the usual is to be done.

It starts some time in the begining of January and ends at the end febuary. I would check the WDW website for more details. I wonder what they are going to do to it. It is going to be closed for a whole two months!

My brother is a cast member, just letting you guys all know what I have heard, i'm not sure if it will happen in this refurb or not, but just a heads up. chavez, I'm getting my doctorate in physical therapy, you?

Cool!!! I am a Ph.D. candidate in biochemistry at Texas A&M. Just hoping I'll be done sometime soon. Someone once asked me How long it will take me to finish, and I said 4-7 years, depending. Then they said "wow, sounds like a prison sentence!"

Oh no! When exactly is it going to be down in January? I'm planning a trip then!

That is a longer than normal refurb for Splash Mtn. I have been the past two Januarys and it was closed for about 3 weeks each time. This past January it reopened in the last couple of days of the month. Closing all of January and all of February is rather long comparing the history of past refurbs. Sounds like a much more extensive plan of action. The past 2 Januarys they seemed to be cleaning, painting and general maintanance.

I had not heard anything about changes to ride vehicles. I thought they were just going to tocuh up paint and clean the "canals".

Nothing has been mentioned on the podcast, but since the refurb is only about a month, I would not expect anything major. Most likely just standard maintainance and repainting.

it will be back up in march right?

I would say yes it will be up in March. I personally could not be happier it's being refurbed. On my last ride through in October I noticed several pieces of gum stuck on the walls, I also got the liberty of watching some Teenagers whipping stuff at the characters. Unfortunately refurbs happen so often because of these types of ignorant people. Makes me sad, but Disney can't control everyone.
