Splash should be going down just after holiday rush. Look for an early January through February refurb.
It wasn't the boy who lived that kicked GE/NBC into action, it was the realization that no one was going to buy the parks. after that they realized that it was eithe $#^+ or get of the pot. So Disaster, Simpson's, and increased maintenance came about prior to Potter. Potter just blew the roof off of available capital.
Yeah, but this happens every year. Needs to go down longer.
Taking Brother Bear For a Scenic Ride Around WDW
One of our readers (Lars, who we thank, as always!) sent us this photo of a certain Disney character that we all know... Yes, it's Brer Bear, directly from the entrance of Splash Mountain! He was taking a sightseeing tour of the area surrounding the Walt Disney World Resort (this photo was taken near the Crossroads Shopping Center, located right in front of Hotel Plaza Boulevard):
According to some news we recently received, he is still not back in front of the attraction's entrance, but he'll be back soon. Oh, and Brother Bear wishes to all of our readers a Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah evening!
A big thank you once again to Lars for providing us this nice photo!
I've been hearing and reading lately that Splash is in even worse condition. I've read that pieces of the rock work are falling.
Falling off and hitting the logs while guests were riding. And their answer? Tarps over the queue.
The "Tree of Life" mindset of cheap fixes. :thumbs:

Do we have a link or source for this info?
