7 attractions, 2 shows temporarily close at Disneyland
Seven Disney attractions, as well as shows and restaurants, are temporarily closing for at least part of January mostly for maintenance projects.
Disneyland Resort traditionally schedules most of their major rehabilitation projects starting in January when traffic slows down after the bustling holiday season.
Many of the closures begin Monday (Jan 9th) (today), following the conclusion of the holiday season Sunday.
The biggest project is set to begin Monday on the Matterhorn Bobsleds, a 52-year-old roller coaster inside a man-made mountain that is visible outside Disneyland. The updated ride is scheduled to reopen in summer.
Crews plan to paint the white exterior of the mountain and do rockwork repair, said Betsy Sanchez, a Disneyland Resort spokeswoman.
Workers also are set to replace the vehicles, which had tandem seating. The new vehicles will have three seats in each car and two cars will be linked together, Sanchez said.
Other Disneyland attractions set to close temporarily are: Haunted Mansion, “it’s a small world,” Sailing Ship Columbia and Big Thunder Ranch Petting Farm.
Disney California Adventure attractions scheduled to shut down temporarily are: Golden Zephyr and Redwood Creek Challenge Trail.
Two Disney shows are set to go on hiatus:
Fantasmic! in Disneyland will go on a break starting Monday through March 2.
World of Color, which has been shown nightly since it debuted in June 2010, will stop running two times: Jan. 17 to 19 and Jan. 23 to 26. The show, which has an elaborate set of lights and fountains, is set for routine maintenance.
Last week, Disneyland began construction on restaurants on the west side of Main Street, U.S.A. The buildings of Candy Palace, Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor, Refreshment Corner and Carnation Cafe are undergoing projects. Blue Ribbon Bakery was shut down and the area will be used for indoor seating for an expanded Carnation Cafe. The restaurants are set to reopen later this spring
