Photo of Rehab Work at WDW Big Thunder

Here's a photo that appeared in the Orlando newspaper the other day of the rehab work now under way at WDW's Big Thunder Mountain. Considering the California version of the ride has been in the news, I thought people would be interested.

Kinda ruins the idea of forced perspective with the scaffolding.
Watch out for the Billy Goats!

The rehab apparently is more than just cosmetic. A WDW spokeswoman said the ride is closed for routine maintenance. She also said it's too soon to say whether engineers in Orlando will take specific action because of the accident in California.

Big Thunder in Orlando has been closed since Aug. 24. It's expected to reopen again sometime in November.

I read that BTMRR might possibly closed in Disneyland for 6 mo. It also said that the man who died did so from blunt force to the chest area. They still did not have the exact cause of the accident.

Wow!! That is some work they are doing there. I'd rather they be safe than sorry later. I'm sure with all the publicity on the Disneyland one, they are making certain that what ever happened there will not go wrong in the "world". Disney tends to be cautious that way...thank god for all of us. Such a tragic accident for those people and way too happy of a place for it to happen in. I feel terrible for all that had to witness their loved ones being in such a horrible disaster.
