Ride closings
I just checked the schedule for ride closings for May 07 at allears.net and there doesn't seem to be much.
Does anyone know if this is because it is too far out and the schedule isn't available yet, or do they just not do much refurbishing at that time of year because the crowds are higher? Thanks for your help! Kathy |

Re: Ride closings
It might be a combination of both but the crowds in May are pretty low. There might not be many refurbs going on. When I went this past May there were only three and one was POTC.
 So consider it a real good thing.

Re: Ride closings
I think the closer it gets to May, you may see more. It is a ways off still.

Re: Ride closings
We have seen a few closings in May, especially if you go earlier in the month. Byt Memorial Day weekend, when the summer season starts, you will probably see fewer closings.

Re: Ride closings
Well hopefully there will be no changes because I am looking forward to no refurbishments while we are there in May.
Unfortunately, DS still has not had the chance to experience the Wonders of Life pavillion and all it has because it is seasonal. Kind of stinks because I want him to see that one.

Re: Ride closings
personally, i don't think you have anything to worry about. i've been there a few times in may and never saw any of the major rides down for refurb. it's a great month to be there as long as you stay away from mother's day and memorial day.
