I've seen a couple of guys working there two weeks ago, the machinery sounds were quite strange in Adventureland ;)
But I also think that a replacement won't happen, it looks more like an complete refurbishment.
By the way, the area looked quite strange this year. The pirate ship totally covered with scaffoldings, scaffoldings at La Cabane des Robinsons...I hope they will be finished soon ;)
Secure all cargo, all passengers aboard!

I think doing a complete replacement would have been daft. I mean, if they strip it all back and the underlying structure is completely fine then what's the point in replacing that? Might as well save some money to spend elsewhere.

I wonder if they weren't really sure themselves how much work they were going to have to do until they started taking it apart hence the vagaries about when it will be finished.

It looks like a December finish is rather optimistic.

Are they knocking the ship down or refurbishing it?

I think there have been plans for replacing it with a new one, but they are refurbishing the old ship now (the better choice in my opinion).
