And here I thought all you folks did was comment on blog sites, study for your 9th grade final and hang out in moms basement.

Everything Disney does is calculated to the millionth degree, so something as simple rethemeing a queue, or touching up an attraction takes weeks. Plus, they don't work around the clock -- they work the normal 9 - 5 on these refurbishments. <br /><br />I know from Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527909922658295790.post-62648229927493086262015-10-08T14:45:04.894-04:002015-10-08T14:45:04.894-04:00Disney probably won't comment on this until th...Disney probably won't comment on this until the new version opens, but one has to assume that the glorious Jerry Goldsmith score is being dumped as well. <br /><br />It would be a miracle if they could keep it.

The queue can be re-themed in a week, projectors can be installed in the same time as well as the ride entrance moving a few feet. The restroom and entrance to the third screen are major projects, but that can be done behind construction walls not impacting daily operations.
