The Old Mill - Return Of?

ICHAPMAN · August 29, 2007, 11:30:27 PM

Hi,

Anyone know anything about "The Old Mill" in Fantasyland coming back into service later this year? (September / October 2007)

Someone on DISBoards has (apparently) been told this is the case during a Guided Park tour.

Regards

Iain

Wow, this would be great if they could re open this unique attraction.

Interesting rumour, but I'd like to point out that park cast members are usually the last to be informed about something like this, unfortunately. But I'll ask around with my trustworthy sources.

Raptor and his trustworthy sources ! :lol: Lucky !

i remember this ride when i last went on in 99.

Fantastic views, even saw New Port Bay hotel, it'd be fantastic to have it back.

Would be a good re-opening of this unique little attraction. Such a shame for not using it.
So Raptor, bring on the (hopefully good) news

Two Things:

A) If back in service, where are they gonna put the Christmas Presents!
(If you've been during the Christmas Season, the 'buckets' are normally filled with large presents).

B) You'd think, even with it out of service, they'd keep it running during Park Hours for decoration, and if only to ensure that it works and parts don't seize up.
lthough I realise this would be an 'additional' cost.

. i remember the views too.it was a nice ride and worth dumping the xmas pressies for.

Just thought i would update the rumour about the Old Mill coming back into service as it was myself who posted the news on another site!
The news came from a VIP tour guide about 2 weeks ago when i was given a guided tour of the Disneyland Park.
He said it WILL be back in operation Sept/Oct'07. :lol:

*Is curious* Why did this ride close in the first place?

Quote from: "Masamune" *Is curious* Why did this ride close in the first place?

My guess not many people went on it, it never seemed a big ride.

Masamune · August 31, 2007, 12:33:57 PM

I think it looks charming, I'd definatly go on it if they re-opened it.

Reiana · August 31, 2007, 12:44:40 PM

It was a cute little ride. :stitch: Rode it in 1996. I always wondered why it got closed. :-k
