"The Barnstormer" closure date?

[ValpoCory]

Does anyone know or have an educated guess on when The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm will be closing for redesign?

We are going in January and hope it is still open.

Nobody knows.

2011, some employees have reported Toontown will close in 'spring 2011'. That narrows it down to me for sometime between Jan and May.

You consider January and February to be Spring?

Those months fall in the Spring semester.


But thank you to all for your responses. Fingers are crossed for the ride being open.

Yep in Disney terms I do based on previous refurbs for example Space Mountain being set to open in late Summer 2009 (hello Disney, November is NOT summer). I think since its so warm in Fl most of the year that Disney forgets the rest of us have 4 real seasons with start and end dates.

That's not what I recall about Jan-Feb in 2010.

every season has an anomoly. Its snowed as fairly late in some parts of North America as late spring, if I recall. This year was off, so i'd not base a long term forcast on this.

Yes, this past winter I remember reading a report that, at one point, 49 states had snow on the ground at the same time. FL sure as heck can't say THAT most of the time. lol

Mickey's Toontown Fair is going to close for the redesign, but they are not getting rid of the Barnstormer. It will be moved somewhere else. As for the date of temporary closure until it is relocated, that I am not sure of. I've heard that it will not be until the spring. (Which is NOT January, because I will also be going then and have not heard anything about it closing until later on.)

As far as I know, Barnstormer will not be moved at all.

Reports are that it will stay right where it is and just get a new paint-job and a new name
to better-fit the new "area" being built around it. (That's called "re-themeing" in Disney terms.)

I was wondering about this the other day, DD will be big enough to ride it this year so hopefully it isn't being "re-themed" yet while we are there in March.

A cm on a tour two weeks ago told us Toontown would close after the holiday season.

 

[LWatson]

I hope its weeks after the holiday season. I'm going the first week of Jan and would like to see it open!!! But we cant always get what we want...LOL

Anyone heard an update or rumors about when the Barnstormer will be closing?

Thanks.

Nope. Speculation is still sometime in early 2011...

As a Barnstormer CM I can safely say it's all speculation at this point.

But when you hear it from a bus driver, then you will know it is fact
