BTMRR closed August - Nov

[onenursebrandy]

I was so ecstatic to see they had changed this refurb date. I go down June 9-14 n love this ride!!!!! I am sad though to see Soarin may not be opened. I would have loved to see the new screen.

Me too!! I just realized it will be closed for our trip! Crossing my fingers for an early completion so we can see it!!!!

Yay....hopefully it will be out of rehab on time....we go in January of 2017.

NOOOOOOOO!!! This is my daughter's FAVOURITE RIDE and the one she is most looking forward to! This is the first time we've returned in six years!!!

Well I just have to say boo hiss to this news.

I'm not sure why the DIS site does not list the new rehab dates. On the actual Walt Disney site, when you put in your day and look under attractions, it definitely says it is closed (well for my August dates anyway). I always felt The Dis was the place for the most up to date info.

Big, big bummer for us too. Our trip in Oct. will most likely be once-in-a-lifetime and that was the one thrill ride I was looking forward to all of us doing - I don't think my 6-year-old will do Space Mtn (due to darkness) and def not RnR coaster. Our older son (then 4) rode BTMRR over and over at Disneyland when we went years ago. What other thrill rides are there for the younger guys? I'm pretty sure he will do Splash, but not sure what else...We are not as excited about the simulator stuff like Soarin...

I know we will still have a great time, BTMRR was just that one quintessential Disney ride I imagined all 4 of us enjoying.

The Mine Train is a good one on the same scale, just make sure you get a FP or go 1st thing. If you are going to Epcot, Test Track is good with fast car ride at the end.

Do they always close it around this time? Why not January or February?

Maybe because there are already a lot of refurbs in January and February and it isn't fair on the people who go then for everything to be down then.

I know this has been asked, but where are we seeing this posted as the new closure dates? I checked a few sites and still see it closed April through July

I saw once I realised FP+ have now opened for April

I suppose, or they could do March-May.

You guys are lucky that Disneyland Paris isnt your regular park.

Big thunder is down for 12 months as well as the railroad and steam paddler.

Just hope it doesn't get pushed back; I get there Nov 26th..fingers crossed.

Yay! It was scheduled to be closed for our trip in May and it's our daughter's favorite. It was a pretty big hit knowing that and Soarin' were both going to be closed. I am sorry for those that will end up missing it though.

Which includes a peak season maybe why they pushed it to August which isn't as busy

So disappointing! We arrive 8/9. I have had so little luck riding that. Seriously, over th e last 5 years (since we've been going as adults with kids) it either been in refurbishment, it has broken down while I was on it (and didn't get a chance to ride it), or my son chickened out and we weren't able to go. I was so hoping that this trip would be the time we could go on it or I can run over and go on it by myself. So frustrating!

Feel bad for anyone that is going to have their favourite ride closed while they are there. BTMRR is our favourite ride and we thought it was going to be closed on our next trip and were hugely disappointment. Sounds like it will be open now.

 

[monique5]

Boohoo. I was planning on this in October. Didn't realize dates had been moved back.

 

[sheila14]

Now if only Soarin will be opened. They first mentioned June 2 now it is July

Splash is closed Jan and early Feb every year. Sometimes it's open for President's Day. They can't have splash and thunder closed simultaneously.
