Going to do some work to the TTC?

There are green scrims up around the planters now. There are also scrims up on the express monorail loading side at MK. Looks like they are doing some general work in the transportation areas

I probably should know this, but do they have any sort of fast pass system there? Seems like the biggest complaint is the line length for attractions

Yes they do I believe. Not every attraction has it though. I want to say pirates doesn't but I'm not positive there. The big E tickets like pirates, and rapids break down often which doesn't help with the lines either.

all in all though it seems like Shanghai has opened better than anyone could have hoped for ... ore at the least much better than they feared

Going to do some work to the TTC?

Haven't heard anything About the tram lane, just saw the fencing going up. Passing over the area on the monorail no work has been done yet inside of the fencing. There will be some work near the ttc ferry boat dock starting tomorrow I believe. They are also finally installing lighting in the back of the MK parking lot where they added the new spaces last year. So far the conduit has been ran there and the concrete bases poured.

There are green scrims up around the planters now. There are also scrims up on the express monorail loading side at MK. Looks like they are doing some general work in the transportation areas

MK express side is getting roof repair and the gutter/runoff system redone. They are also replacing the ventilation system in the station. Major work to be happening at the MK station in the coming years tho..

Is this not the rumors thread anymore? I am a bit confused...I had a rumor to add. Pretty sure it isn't true, but I was waiting in line for Jack and Sally at the MNSSHP and we were next to the main street cast members who insisted that the Boo to You parade was going to be performed nightly after MSEP leaves.

I didn't want to argue with the cast member but thought that would be an odd move, considering that the MNSSHP ticket sales seem to be down this year and the parade is one of the main draws. Not sure why they'd want to make that available for regular ticket holders each night.

No you can post rumors here. The other thread just tracks substantial rumors and where they came from.

I am with you and don't buy what that CM said.
