Le pays des contes de fees is the boat ride at the back of Fantasyland beyond the railroad taking people through some miniture scenes from fairytales and Autopia closes every October for a winter rehab.

QuoteThunder Mesa Riverboat Landing: return of Mark Twain on fridays, saturdays, sundays and mondays starting 11/03

Yess!!!!

Shame it's not daily operation, but it's a start I guess.

The Big Thunder Mountain rehab has been resheduled from 17/08 to 14/10.

At first that shocked me, but I guess it makes sense. They'll want BTM to be open for the busy part of the Halloween festival, and now that they'll have the Keelboats and Riverboat (as well as the extra capacity from Buzz) they don't have to be too worried about closing it during August.

BTM is the ride most in-need of a refurbishment anyway, so it's all good.

Kristof · March 15, 2006, 06:52:07 PM

Maybe it will be open only during the afternoons are something like that. That was rumoured a long time ago. :?:

A friend CM has been told that the castle will be covered in scaffolding somehwere this year for an extensive repaint and rehab!

(yay

)

LOL, if that happens during the Big Thunder refurb, can you imagine the amount of complaints at City Hall??! :?

Great news anyway, from a distance it still looks as beautiful as ever, but the cracks are beginning to show. I'm glad they're doing it now rather than leaving it even longer (which is what would have happened a few years ago).

I just thought - maybe the Castle refurb will be in October. This way, they won't have BTM and the Castle covered up at the same time (for too long), and they'll be able to cover up the castle works by saying the "pumpkinmen have attacked it!" or something.

Basically, if they don't do the refurb before November, then they're going to have to do it in January 2007 - they can't have Christmas without the castle!

Or perhaps in September? Just after the Summer Season and before the busy Halloween Season. :wink:

Anthony · March 19, 2006, 01:15:48 AM

Yeah, that could work actually. I was just imagining the horror for some guests if they turned up to find BTM closed and the castle covered in scaffolding... :lol:

I wonder how long they'll need? :?

September will bee better cot there is barely any people there. The castle is diying for a rehab
