What lap bar dividers? The last time I was on it, it was just a full lap bar all the way across, no divider.
And on Samule's blog it just said it was closed, not under refurbishments. It probabally was closed due to cold weather or somehing else.
Maybe something broke that made the ride unable for guest to ride and it is just down to fix that error.
That would certainly be a possibility and difficult to tell as of right now but what leads me to believe that is not the case is the fact that they have a temp gate already up around the entrance and an entire construction sight blocking wall along the splash zone and visible from guest area outside spots. That makes it certainly sound something more that was planned on fixing up a few things rather than a breakdown error that caused a temporary closure. That would be more of a greeter standing outside and letting people know it is currently down kind of thing.
