Rafts got taken backstage apparently.

I feared that. Happily surprised.

EricsBiscuitFeb 08, 2021

I saw that! They fixed it by mid-late afternoon though.

Our chance to ride her today was foiled by a malfunctioning whistle. Next trip... next trip...

Good to see steam power is back in the magic kingdom! Now about those trains.... haha

So Terry the Turbine got a nice refurb. Much quieter. All the machinery in general was rejuvenated. The animation in the scenes will improve over the coming months as it opened earlier than expected. Certain parts of the deck were supposed to be waterproofed but were not. Turbine (left), reduction gear (center), generator (right).

I never claimed it but I suspected it. I’m glad to see it has reopened.

ToTBellHopFeb 08, 2021

Remember when someone claimed due to COVID-19 that TSI would never reopen and, instead, it got a nice refurbishment and reopened? Good times.

TrainsOfDisneyFeb 07, 2021

Chickens haven’t escaped have they!?

EricsBiscuitFeb 07, 2021

North Island has reopened! Blacksmiths are both working! So are the horses. Sound effects at each scene are working too, including our snoring friend.

We were on the same boat as you. Small world :)

disneygeek90Feb 07, 2021

Rode on the last sailing Friday night, was so good to see the riverboat back. I've grown quite fond of it over recent years.

mikeymouseFeb 06, 2021

I'm so glad to be wrong as well!!
