Forbidden Journey Refurbishment (Update: Early Dec)

If Disney was smart, they would have just devised a ride system where the strollers latch into the track to function as the ride vehicle for Frozen.

if they do that then people are going to complain that they cant bring on ecv,s and its just going to be a mess.They should just add a stationary seating for frozen ride where you sit on a chair and Elsa comes up and shakes you while singing let it go.

So May is close to being over. What happened to that May FJ closure rumor? Sounding more and more like a bad rumor, especially with all of these capacity shortages in the two parks {2 E tickets (Disaster, Hulk), 1 D ticket (Twister), 1 major show (BJ) all down at the same time}

They're replacing rock work for sure, my guess is they're doing it on the third shift.

Yes, that's what it sounds like. I never bought the rumor they'd shut the ride down for an extended time to do minor repairs without giving notice far in advance. . It wouldn't go over well with the HP vacation tourists, and that's just too much capacity to lose at this period of time.

I think Kong was supposed to be open...

 

[Teebin]

They're redoing rockwork on the interior? How do any of you know this?

 

[epcyclopedia]

Permit filed to removed part of the hanging ceiling rock work in the Dementors scenes.

But I honestly can't see that safely happening overnight. You need to get equipment in, not damage the track, have moved the vehicles around to allow it to enter/exit, then get the rock work out - and then install whatever will replace it. Then test and retest that the vehicles aren't hitting whatever it is.

It won't take too long, but a single night or even multiple nights without a day closure seems unlikely.

Totally possible, it was my guess. What I do know is the rock work needs replacing as soon as possible. Damn Kong!

On FJ today the soul sucking did not work. First ride the dragon breath was not working. Second ride the dragon was not moving at all.

Dragon moved w/breath for me this afternoon. Probably a short glitch.

Everything else was working well.

It's a pisser when that happens, especially for new riders. I have been on spider-man when the projectors failed to be triggered for an entire scene. It totally disrupts its great pace. FJ on the other hand... I think I would just find it fascinating.

At least Universal has a policy of letting people re ride when something big goes wrong. Happened to me last trip when I got stuck on Spider-Man.

Got a chance to get a good look at the dragon head. You get a better appreciation of the level of detail when it is still and illuminated.

The worst for me has to be the Gringotts audio glitch where sound effects and music throughout the ride are barely audible. It's happened to me a handful of times since opening (including today) and just completely takes the punch out of the ride. I'll take a single scene screwing up over that anyday

Been there and completely agree.

I got to re ride for the audio glitch.
