It seems the refurb will start soon, because all the water is gone now:

Thanks for the links!!

Finally it started. Isn't it sad that they let it rotten away and now they have to replace it. It must be an embarassment for the company.

What are the chances of the new ship being in place mid July?

Now this is a sight for sore eyes! Let's see how great it looks when they are done!

yup, I've forgiven DLP a fair bit in the past and I know their financial limitations, but.....mess up the Galley and I'd be very unhappy, in fact anything less than a lasting refurb, with improvements, and still within story would be a shame.

Oh thank god - it was a sad sight the last years and to see it under scaffolding is the best sight on here for a long time

Hopefully they will give it a refurbishment of similar class as the Castle - that would be only fair to Mr. Hook, who has seen his ship slowly rottening away.

Here are new pictures by Sebi from DCP:

I didn't know that there are fish in the water.

So is the ship being replaced, or are they just repainting the current one?

Josh · May 29, 2011, 06:27:49 PM

Yes, it's being completely replaced!

@dagobert
I didn't know there were fish either. :shock: But thanks for posting the photos! At the moment, it looks as though they're still busy putting up the scaffolding. I can't see if anything's been removed.

There have been fish in the water for quite some time. I have this picture of them from last June.
Makes me wonder... when they drained the Adventureland waterways recently to prepare for the scaffholding to go up... what did they do with the fish?! LOL Did they go round trying to catch them all?! LOL!

DLP info posted this about the fish a while ago

Thanks for the link.

That's a strange rumour and I think it is a joke that people can go fishing in Adventureland.
