Disneyland Upcomming Ride Events, and Nemo Ride Pictures

Here is a list of rides that are going to either be closed for maintenance or refurbishment.

Disneyland
  • Matterhorn Bobsleds closed August 28 - November 22 for complete refurbishment. **A long waited for update**
  • Haunted Mansion closed September 5 - 28 for installation of Haunted Mansion Overlay.
  • Golden Horseshoe closed September 5 - October 6 for refurbishment, kitchen update, and menu change. No word yet on what will be done with Billy Hill and the Hillbillies show during closure.
  • Snow White - An Enchanted Musical ends September 4. Last performances ever will be on this date. No replacement show has yet been announced.
  • Disneyland Railroad closed September 18 - 22 for unknown reasons, probably general maintenance.
  • Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage is currently under construction and will open sometime in 2007.
  • Gadget's Go Coaster closed beginning October 2 for approximately six weeks. General maintenance with no ride changes expected.

Disney's California Adventure
  • Francis' Lady Bug Boogie closed June 17 - July 13 for general maintenance. Still closed for unknown duration.
  • Disney's Aladdin - A Musical Spectacular dark beginning September 11 for about a month. Rumors of permanent closure appear unfounded as new cast members have signed contracts through April 2007.
  • California Screamin' closed October 2 - 5. Everybody was expecting a long maintenance closure so this information is suspect at this time and will most likely eventually be changed to show a multi-month closure.

Paradise Pier Hotel
  • Yamabuki closed July 31 - September 8 for complete refurbishment.

Finding Nemo Ride Pictures

I heard it was going to be Blue Man Group, but that MIGHT not be true.
That would be cool! When would this be, and for how long?

This is a complete refurbishment it has been confirmed by cast members. This is kind of like what they did to Space Mountain. It will be completley updated.

Exciting! The newly updated Space Mountain is great!

But Space Mountain was closed for years for that refurbishment. For how long will they be closing the Matterhorn?

Actually, the Space Mountain update was not "complete" and was a half measure. They changed the decor, painted the track black, and increased the speed. Nothing else.

They had planned to tear out the track and create a whole new ride, but they would not have been done in time for the 50th, which was the goal.

I'm not sure what they plan to do with the Matterhorn (maybe put another Pixar character in it?), but they already did a complete refurb last year to comply with OSHA needs and to replace major portions of the track, so this news about another refurb is a little confusing.

Maybe they're planning on improving the basketball court. From what I hear, it's in sad shape.

The attraction closed in 03... and reopened July 15, 2005... It was a complete rebuild of the old track.... (Well, one lift might be old..) The old track was not safe, and had to be removed.... I am sure about this....

Um.... Every year they replace chunks of the track to keep the ride safe and operational... it is not a full renovation, just a good one... the attraction only went down last year for minimal time, so this year it is going down for more time to do more work...
