Like a whole new mountain!!

I'm thrilled to see Big Thunder Mountain like this. Great! But on the other hand; isn't it quite sad that we are happy to see this kind of things. I mean, come on... this is Disney, it should always be in great shape. We shouldn't even notice the fact that the Mountain looks cleaner as before. Well, I forgive them because of their financial situation, but it remains sad.

There are recent photos here: http://www.photosmagiques.com/gallery/t ... _06?page=2

And you see how orange the mountain is looking now here:

Although that was taken at sunset, so it's probably not always quite that bright. It's still a HUGE difference, anyway. :shock:

It's deffinately not that bright during the day!! I even dare to say that the hue has been adjusted to make the photo look more red than it really is.

l kind of hope so cause this is a bit too much of a good thing in my opinion!! :wink:

so it is going to be ready for 14th, isn`t it?

Anthony · October 12, 2006, 01:17:07 PM

For the final time - yes.

Of course, things can go wrong, but I've never ever known Disney miss their refurbishment dates.

Yup cant wait to see it for real!

Anthony · October 14, 2006, 11:53:59 PM

It's open! Apparently it only opened in the afternoon though, after a security alert in the morning closed Frontierland. After the land reopened 5 minutes later, fastpass started at 9.20 and then the attraction opened at around midday. Eventful...

The new airgates are NICE!

Great that it reopened

I couldn't be at DLRP without going on BTM!

But--don't laugh at me--what's different on the airgates? Just the colour or was it otherwise different before?! :oops:
