Splash unavailable for booking starting Jan 8

[LizzyS]

I'm glad to see that it should be back up for a few weeks before we arrive as I've always heard that it's superior to the DLR version. Here's to hoping the refurb doesn't run over!

Thanks, anomamatt!

Now, we need someone who had a BTMRR and Splash booked to check their Splash conversion - @rteetz, we forgot to put you in research-mode... this is TPAS!

I had BTMRR and Splash. Splash got changed to Space.

-----------------
There has been an unexpected change in the operating schedule of an attraction or show during your upcoming Walt Disney World® visit. Your FastPass+ selection for Splash Mountain from 3:55 PM to 4:55 PM on 01/13/2018 is no longer available.

As a replacement, a new selection was made for Space Mountain from 3:55 PM to 4:55 PM on 01/13/2018.

What would be interesting is to see what Splash was changed to if you also already had Thunder and Space.
Often times those are the 3 I make my advanced FP+ for and will be for my mid February trip as I don't think my friend would be very comfortable in 7DMT seats although I will consult with her about it first.

Thank you! They’re replacing with a comparable priority-level ride. Hope it works out okay for you or you have time to Modify for something of your own choice.

I was debating between space and splash for the third, so I guess Disney made the choice for me!

Splash Mountain is test-running sans riders as we speak. Any chance refurbishment ends early?

 

[TinkerPan]

This isn’t typical though. Splash has been closed for 3.5 months already and then to close for another month so quickly is unusual.

They are likely still looking for my SiL baseball hat.

Always a chance!

 

[fiasco32]

Always a chance!

Anyone know how far in advance they do the testing before re-opening? It’s been running non-stop all morning. Today is our last day and I’m trying not to get my hopes up!

So you are seeing this yourself. We were there Sunday and not a lick of water in it. Boats sitting on the bottom.

Yes I’m here now, they have empty boats running continuously.

Lol. As an east coast resident, my most prized hat was my Disneyland hat from my one trip to DL and California. It survived only one day of my next WDW vacation before disappearing on the big drop. At least I have a ride photo to remember it by...

They've been doing that on and off for at least a week

We’ve been here since Sunday. The water was completely drained up until yesterday.

It was definitely running for at least an hour last weekend

 

[rstevens333]

Fingers crossed it's still coming back this week.

You mean the 999 Haunts are out in the Parks, enjoying the overcast weather! ;D

 

[rteetz]

As of today the water was drained again.

 

[Jen_G]

I was there from 1/8 to 1/22. When we went to MK the first week, the water was completely drained. When we went back the second week, it was filled and they were running test logs with no riders. A day or two later, it had been drained again.

They can drain it and fill it at will.
