"Half the park" is a bit of an exaggeration, no?

Rumoured updates include:

- The addition of an extra wagon
- Reviewing and changing some key parts of the track
- Restoration of the geysers
- Draining the lake and cleaning the bottom and banks of the Rivers of the Wild West
- Restoration of the Mark Twain
- Repainting the Big Thunder Mountain and bringing it back to its original colour
- New interactive queue
- Single Riders queue (under consideration)
- Mapping effects on the TNT explosion and bat cave
- Making the link between BTM and the Ravenswood family more clear

Sounds pretty exciting, doesn't it?

Ooh these updates sound fantastic. When I first heard of such a long closure I was quite worried as it is a favourite ride for my family. The Single Riders queue would be a good addition too.

How likely do you think the above amendments are?

Well, these are just rumours for the time being. We'll just have to wait and see if they will come into realisation.

Anyone know the exact date that it closes in November?

I would be very interested to know this also...

Foundations for the construction bridge appear to be ready.

An update on the construction bridge preparations was posted on Twitter by ED92Live.

These certainly are interesting rumours.  I personally would like it if the geysers could work again and would definitely like to see the Mark Twain and the Molly Brown running together again. It is a shame that BTM has to be closed for such a long time but hopefully it will be worth it in the long run.

I expected the new foundations to be part of the construction bridge, but it appears they are just for the construction sheds.

Fingers Crossed for single rider - since on most of my trips I am a single rider and queuing 50 minutes alone isn't much fun.

I can understand queuing for 50 minutes alone is dull but I always find the queue to be a very social event, I talk to anyone me.

Construction sheds, walkway, draining the river, closed for a year - it does seem that there's a lot of work being put into this. I wonder what they're actually going to do?

Repair the geysers (could have been done without the above).
Repaint the arch
Add a bit more theming to the BTM ride.

Maybe sort out the vegetation?
Put the fisherman's boot on the right way round (unless he really is a contortionist!)?

I'm not entirely sure if a single rider queue would be worth it because there is such a big number of people that go in even numbers that the single riders queue could end up being just as long the main queue depending on the number of people going on single rider.

[rebecca20]

I know what you mean re single rider queue. Especially since the one for Crush's coaster never opens. The only good thing about being with someone who doesn't like rides is that I can get two fastpasses

How will they make the link between BTM & The Ravenswood Family more clear??
