DCA Gets A Worthy Overhaul Budget

I love the Zephyr! I love the feel ing when you "fly" over the bay...so awesome!

I am so excited to see pics of WoC and the first tracks of Radiator Springs Racers! Even Silly Symphony Swings is looking good! (I must admit though, I liked Orange Stinger...especially when it first opened with the "bee butts")

I didn't get a chance to experience the Orange Stinger when they had the bee butts or the smell of the orange. I barely went to DCA in 2008ish.

It was closed during my trip to DCA, so I never got to do the Orange Stinger either.

I am so excited for the Silly Symphony swings!! I really think it is an excellent IDEA.

Wow Red Car Trolly is making great progress. I definitely did not expect about half a block of track to be laid in the week. Appears that the Rivers of America refurb is kicking it into high gear. I noticed some lights for night time work in the pictures and it looks like the Mark Twain is all wrapped up for what I would presume is painting. And most importantly, the Zephyr got covered up. I didn't think Disney would want all that scaffolding being exposed to the general public.

I went to DCA this weekend after a 4 month hiatus, and I was blown away by all the construction! It's good to see some $$$ being put back into this poor redheaded stepchild of a park.

Hmm looks like this week was almost as expected. Work continues. No shots of the red car trolley progress though.

I was a bit disappointed when I didn't see anything on the red car trolley. I hope that some photos will appear next week.

Quick question. Is Matterhorn down for refurb every year?

elizabethswann · Post by **elizabethswann** » Mar Mon 15, 2010 8:42 pm

Most of the rides are down every year just to do a quick refurbishment, I believe. They've been focusing most of this year so far on it since it was in dire need of one.
