Disneyland is gearing up for some exciting changes as it announces seasonal refurbishments for several attractions. These temporary closures are part of Disneyland's standard schedule to ensure the best possible experience for guests.
Among the attractions that will undergo refurbishments are Radiator Springs Racers, Incredicoaster, Redwood Creek Challenge Trail, and the Sailing Ship Columbia. While these closures may disappoint some visitors, they provide an opportunity for necessary updates and improvements.
Disneyland's commitment to maintaining its attractions is evident as it takes advantage of the quieter period before the Spring Break crowds arrive. This ensures that guests will have an even better experience when they visit.
Radiator Springs Racers and Incredicoaster: Brief Refurbishments
Radiator Springs Racers, located in Cars Land, will be closed from February 26 to March 1 for a brief refurbishment. This popular attraction will receive the necessary updates to keep it running smoothly and providing endless thrills.
The Incredicoaster in Pixar Pier will also undergo a seasonal refurbishment from March 4 to 14. This thrilling coaster based on the hit movie 'The Incredibles' will be back in action soon, offering guests an exhilarating ride through the world of superheroes.
Redwood Creek Challenge Trail: Extended Refurbishment
If you're looking to explore the wilderness adventure play area at Redwood Creek Challenge Trail, you'll have to wait a little longer. This attraction will be closed starting on March 4 for an extended refurbishment that will last at least until early April.
During this closure, the ropes, nets, and interactive elements in the trail will be refurbished or replaced, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all who venture into the wilderness.
Sailing Ship Columbia and Mark Twain Riverboat: Temporary Closures
The Sailing Ship Columbia will have a short-lived closure from February 26 to February 29. This iconic ship will be undergoing maintenance to keep it sailing smoothly through the Rivers of America.
On the other hand, the Mark Twain Riverboat is set to return on February 24 after a five-month refurbishment. This beloved paddlewheeler has been surrounded by scaffolding since mid-September, and its return will be a welcome sight for fans of the classic attraction.
Other Closures and Exciting Upcoming Changes
While these attractions are undergoing refurbishments, there are several others that are already closed or have exciting changes on the horizon.
The Grizzly River Run will remain closed until February 29, and the Astro Orbiter is expected to reopen on March 14 after an extensive refurbishment.
The Haunted Mansion is also closed for an extensive renovation of the outdoor queue area, with a reopening date yet to be announced. Meanwhile, Splash Mountain is undergoing a transformation into Tiana's Bayou Adventure, set to debut with a new 'Princess and the Frog' theme in late 2024.
Additionally, 'Fantasmic' will be returning on May 24 after a yearlong hiatus due to a fire incident involving the show's animatronic dragon.
While some attractions are closed for refurbishments, there are still plenty of magical experiences to enjoy at Disneyland. Visitors can explore Star Wars Launch Bay and Blue Sky Cellar, which are currently being used for an educational travel workshop called Imagination Campus. The Magic Eye Theater in Tomorrowland and the Hyperion Theater in Hollywood Land remain closed with no upcoming shows planned. The Fantasyland Theatre no longer has regularly scheduled shows after the conclusion of 'Tale of the Lion King' in early January.
As Disneyland prepares for the Spring Break season and the Food & Wine Festival, these temporary closures allow for necessary maintenance and updates to ensure the best possible experience for guests. Visitors can look forward to the reopening of their favorite attractions and the debut of new experiences in the near future.
