Here we are on part 2 of this Magic Kingdom update (for PART 1, click on this link).
Let's continue our tour of Adventureland, with a look at one of the future stops for Magic Kingdom's new interactive game, coming early next year:
Let's continue our tour of Adventureland, with a look at one of the future stops for Magic Kingdom's new interactive game, coming early next year:
A new themed piece of wood covers the secret "mechanisms" for the game:
Nearby, we can find another interactive element:
The small boat game neat the Jungle Cruise features this guy, who has had the broken hand for more than six months! Ridiculous, really ridiculous for a Disney park, where the attention for details is everything:
Going to the Tiki Room:
In the Tiki Room pre-show, one of the two sculptures has a new function: it "rains" (literally!):
Another interactive element:
Work continues on the gateway between Frontierland and Adventureland:
Splash Mountain:
Work continues on Pecos Bill's facade:
...as well as on the Frontierland Shootin' Arcade:
Going to Liberty Square...
The Liberty Square Market looks different, and nicer than usual:
They have dded a lot of theming in the past few years, and I just noticed it now:
Another interactive stop:
Going to Tomorrowland:
New walls have gone up near Space Mountain:
New walls have gone up also near the TTA Peoplemover:
It is great to see all the attention Tomorrowland is getting lately:
The Lunching Pad has just reopened from a short refurbishment:
Nothing new to report:
Walls are up also near Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin:
Inside Buzz Lightyear's queue, new high-definition screens have been added:
Some of the supports of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority Peoplemover are being refurbished:
OUTSIDE THE PARK:
Work continue on the bus stations just outside the park:
And, that is all for now:

ReplyDeleteThe whole park is just one big construction area. I mean how long does it take to redo Pecos Bills. All of Legoland was built before they can repaint a building. If you go to the magic Kingdom now it's a total waste of money.
ReplyDeleteI partly agree with Anonymous. Magic Kingdom IS becoming a big construction site, there is simply too much work going on at the same time, and it does spoil the parks appeal somewhat
ReplyDeleteDisney seem to think that as everyone knows there is major construction with the new Fantasyland, guests will tolerate lots of further construction elsewhere in MK. THEY ARE WRONG! Fantasyland is to be expected, and with the new attractions promised, almost welcomed. construction / rehabs elsewhere in the park should be limited to one project at a time.
I'm next at Disney next September and are praying that, by then, work is limited to New Fantasyland, tho i somehow doubt it
However, to suggest Magic Kingdom is a waste of money is way off the mark imo. Its still a fantastic park, even with all the work!
In my opinion, Disney is trying to get all the refurbs completed prior to the Fantasyland Expansion being completed. So when that's finally done, the park will be 100% open with no refurbs going on. There's simply no way to do this without doing all this work at the same time. So I agree now may not be the best time to visit MK, but it's worth the investment as the payoff in 2013 will be incredible!
ReplyDeletePlanning a trip in January, but may just skip the Magic Kingdom and spend the day a Lego Land instead. Too much construction. With all the rides and areas closed for refurbishment, it's just not worth the money.
ReplyDeleteThe park is 40 years old; the Frontierland Shooting Gallery has had only one major rehab in its history, and the wooden stockade next to it is basically untouched since 1971. The same goes for the Swiss Family Treehouse (it was rebuilt in 1997-98, but that's about it).
ReplyDeleteSure, there are some annoyingly long projects, like the Pecos Bill/Caribbean Plaza gate rehab or the seemingly endless roofing project on the Pinocchio Village Haus that have been going on for years, but it's an old park and this is a relatively quiet time between summer and Thanksgiving, so they'll cram in as much work as they can before the crowds pour in.
