Re: Adventureland Bridge Refurb
I'm wondering how long it's going to take them. I hope they will finish it before or during my trip at the end of the month so I can see it. 

Can't wait to take my twin boys on their first trip to Walt Disney World! Planning on heading there sometime Feb-May 2014!

Update: The Adventureland sign and the posts that held it up are gone. No word on the rest of the bridge.

Sounds like they're getting closer. Can you tell if they have started to dismantle the old bridge?MadEye wrote:Update: The Adventureland sign and the posts that held it up are gone. No word on the rest of the bridge.

This may be a long shot and I think there's too many trees and buildings in the way, but can you see from the carpets?MadEye wrote:There is no real way to see over the walls without a CM noticing and yelling at you to get down...mindflipper wrote:Sounds like they're getting closer.

I hope they are just giving it a new coat of paint! I would hate to see them change this bridge, there was nothing wrong with it!

Re: Adventureland Bridge Refurb
I wonder if there were structural issues with it...and they are just strengthening it from the ground up. Is that the same bridge from when the park opened 40 years ago?

Re: Adventureland Bridge Refurb
I believe boilerbabe is right - the current bridge is the one that opened with the park. It's had its rehab many times over the years (I can remember it being closed before long ago on a visit, so I know they've done their upkeep. It is the bane of strollers, wheelchairs, and scooters so maybe Disney is building a better bridge to be more accomodating?boilerbabe wrote:As far as I know, that's the originaltheBIGyowski wrote:I wonder if there were structural issues with it...and they are just strengthening it from the ground up.

Re: Adventureland Bridge Refurb
I was just there Saturday, i dunno, I never happened to go that way. Hopefully just giving at a simple face lift, new decor on the bridge.

Re: Adventureland Bridge Refurb
I agree with MadEye - the old bridge has gotta go! Put something in that's easier to walk over than the one that is there now!

Re: Adventureland Bridge Refurb
I hope they don't change it too much - I really liked the old bridge! Sometimes we sit right there by it where we can listen to the Adventureland loop while admiring the castle after the park closes.
Thank you! Me too!yodiwan1 wrote:oh and Poly Princess...your avatar pic is awesome!!! I can sue one right now!!
