Quote from: "Meph"Wait. Sorry. I meant to say later after the 20th anniversary, possibly in 2013.

That's brilliant news! We went to DLP in September and Phantom Manor was shut then; so looking forward to doing it on our visit this September! :thumbs:

It's quite depressing to see the Orbitron being torn down.

But it has to be done. I can't wait to see the planets moving again.

Edit: Sorry, I haven't seen that Meph already posted the Orbitron picture. Sorry for double posting the picture.

My word, they are having to rebuild Orbitron again? This seems to be a frequent event.

as for PM being open or closed in September, we do not know what the calendar brings, but often PM is refurbed in September, more often than not, just like PotC often goes for refurb in March.

It is rare for refurbs to take place at Halloween as that week is often one of the very busiest of the year.

Oh no! We couldn't do PM last September because it was being refurbished; was so hoping to do it on our September trip to DLP! :cry:

^ Dont know if it helps or not, but PM was closed for a week/2 weeks in Feb. It closed on the last day of our trip.

Dlp.info has posted a new picture of Orbitron. It seems the whole structure is gone now.

It reminds me of when I looked at Orbitron when I was a kid. I used to wonder how the planets span without colliding into each other. XD

does anyone know when the castle will be finished? i am going in july and would love for some refurbishments to be done, especially the castle?

Josh · May 22, 2011, 06:06:23 PM

The castle will be done by August. However, from a guests perspective, it's already done! All of the scaffolding is gone; it just needs about five more roofs to be painted (two of which are the golden turrets).

Pete's Dragon · May 24, 2011, 12:02:38 PM

The website still has no mention of closures for July, or even opening times for that matter. I don't remember them ever leaving it so late, they usually have them up 2 months in advance.

The castle stage is also getting a refurb. Currently they are repainting the walls.

I can't believe BTM has been repainted already. That was quick! Are there any before/after pictures?

Does anyone have a picture of the repainted arch? The DLRPToday article says that it was also repainted, but it would be great to see a picture. Thanks.
