Are there any notable changes by now? :)

Not yet, but they will probably be doing loads of safety stuff

I get the feeling there isn't going to be a new ship, just a 'touched up' old ship...

It doesn't matter, really, if it ends up being the same. After all, it's a great ship. ;) If they're just replacing its materials, then it would still be a brilliant feature of Adventureland.

The second and third pictures are really grim

It looks as if they removed the wood and the cannon fell down.

Also if they are putting holes in, do you reckon that is so they can hold up scaffolding

Do somebody know why the refurb started later then first planned?

The ship is for me something at Adventureland as the castle for disneyland park. Is hard to see it all covered during the summer season.

Thanks for the pictures, coruscantpt! Quite disappointing the scrim still hasn't appeared.

Quote from: "Martyn"I get the feeling there isn't going to be a new ship, just a 'touched up' old ship...
We were told quite definitely it would be completely rebuilt.

I'd imagine in the long run they hope it'll work out much more cost-effective to replace the whole ship now, with a design or materials that better withstand the weather, rather than continually throw money at touching up and repairing the original structure (not that they've done that for about 8 years).

Finally! The themed scaffolding cover has arrived! This is from DisneyCentralPlaza's Facebook page.

It's not bad at all. ;) On the down side, we won't be seeing any progress on the ship until it's done. XD

I like the colour scheme and style they've used with that.

They're going to have to work pretty damn quick though to get this thing done before the weather starts to turn again. Hopefully this is a sign they're about to get going at good speed.

I took this photo yesterday. It looked like it was being repaired so I asked one of the cast members what was happening and he said it was being replaced as to repair it would be too expensive and it should be finished by November.
