Title: Dumbo Attraction Refurbishment (3rd July 2010)
Post by: montaguewarner on June 03, 2010, 06:03:54 PM
I know there's the topic: Please Paint Dumbo.
But i thought he deserves a topic dedicated to his refurb all by itself! If admin don't agree! Please merge :)

The cracks in the walls have been touched up ready to be painted

And the railings and steel structure have all had a new lick of bright red paint :D

Great pics!

I'm so excited about seeing the new awning, the other one almost made me want to cry it was so faded! :D

The tents look great. Hopefully Disney will do a complete refurbishment of the ride and not just parts of it like they did with the Tea Cups!

I  am so glad they are refurbishing it.
Looking at the refurbished parts it shows what bad condition the ride was in before.

Yay! The new signage on the awning looks great!

"The 9th wonder of the world", that bit was the part that always made me so cross, it was in such a bad state before!

Well done Disney! Dumbo looks really beautiful!

Why didn't Disney do the same with the Tea Cups? They are just half refurbished!
