This clue straight from today's Al's Update. Ride it's a small world, if you like it, this week .... or be prepared to wait till January 2009 to ride it again.

it's going down for standard Xmas conversion after this coming MouseAdventure weekend, then a 10-month refurb, then Xmas, and finally classic it's a small world two Januarys from now.

The refurb will replace the flume and boats that have been around since the 1964 World's Fair. Yes, those are the original boats in the original flume. And besides being near the end of their useful life, they were not designed for today's more hefty Americans.

That's right folks, the entire refurb is basically to combat Boat Sinking.

Apparently, the effect we know too well from first-hand experience of entire boat chain back-up from ships run aground in the camera-less building is an all too common occurrence. They've decided enough is enough.

So let's all be sure to ride it's a small world this coming MouseAdventure weekend.

And maybe sink one last boat for old time's sake.

Oh, I was talking about Cherny telling me about it because his roomie told him about it.
And, yes, sometimes I don't read everything on the board.

By the way, did you hear Erica is leaving? I read that somewhere.

Umm... yes, there is. Hence why it is "going down for [the] standard Xmas conversion"

BarTopDancer · 10-09-2007, 07:58 PM

I was confused cause he said 10 month refurb THEN xmas layover.

innerSpaceman · 10-09-2007, 08:02 PM

Closed for conversion. Xmas Version. Closed for 10-month flume replacement and major spruce up. Xmas Version again. Re-opens as classic small world. time frame: forever.

So, who's gonna bring aboard a dead animal to recreate the "It's A Smell World" cruise? Or do I have to eat at Zocalo again?
