Pixiedust.be hast posted some pictures about the refurbishment of the Tea Cups. It was about time, the ride was in a very bad condition.





It looks like there is a lot of refurbishment going on at DLRP. There are also construction fences in Frontierland and in Discoveryland:

I am really glad they are refurbishing it.
When i went in March the paint all looked really faded i hope they paint over the sign.
I only hope that we don\'t lose sight of one thing,that it was all started by a mouse[size=150] Walt Disney

Thank goodness. The paint on the saucers was worn away to the point of nonexistence. And there must have been about three light bulbs working the last time I saw it at night.

The last time wasn't a refurbishment, it was maintenance of the ride system. :-)

You can see pretty clearly from those photos how faded the laterns look! This refurb is long overdue, the ride was in dire need of a paint and a general tidy-up.

It will look much more lively and bright once the refurb is complete.

From Disney Gazette:






Apparently the refurb is not completely finished, but at least they've got the floor done! :mrgreen:

The roof is looking nice, it really needed a good clean. There's something about seeing a newly referbed ride that make me wanna book a flight

Quote from: "Kristof"LED light bulbs!  Great!!

They've been there for years, strangely enough. I don't think they're technically LEDs, more like tiny tungsten lights. Anyway, the majority has been broken for years as well, so let's hope they touched upon that as well.

The paint work looks really great.

That floor looks magnificent! Cannot wait to ride this in June, I've been waiting a long time to see it looking this clean :D

They did a great job. The attraction looks brand new.
