Frontierland Expansion?

[Brian G.]

Never been to Disneyland. I don't particularly care for LA. I was there for business a few times and was not impressed, so I have no desire to vacation there.

Well yeah, LA sucks.

SoCal rocks!

Apparently the Big Thunder major refurb that was supposed to happen over the summer has been put on hold.

I thought it had just been delayed until about August? I'd call that a result as I'm heading in September and I'm very fond of BTM.

Disney announced today that the new BTM refurb dates are Aug. 8th to Nov. 19th

 

[Scott W.]

Well, that sucks.

 

[Mad Dog]

Well, that sucks.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings. I'm glad this isn't ancient Greece. They often killed the messenger.

Disney announced today that the new BTM refurb dates are Aug. 8th to Nov. 19th

Those dates make so much more sense. Crowds start to die down after Aug 8th and September is one of the slowest months. It will be back up before Thanksgiving which is a busy week and then into the holidays again busy. It is interesting because it will be down for there special Halloween nights. That is the only thing with those dates. But makes way more sense than having it down half the summer!

That just might well your best one to date. And it's my birthday to boot.

Happy birthday, mate!

Happy birthday, mate!

Thank you. Pretty cool.

Happy birthday Mad Dog!

Happy birthday Mad Dog!

Thank you very much.

Will this refurb add the effects of the California version?

That was the rumor.

What are the different effects? Never been to DLR!

There's a projection effect on the third lift where the "falling rocks" scene used to happen (before they turned that effect off).
