Saw this tweeted out earlier today and posted over at WDWMagic.com:
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad set for lengthy refurbishment in early 2012
Oct 06, 2011
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is set for a lengthy refurbishment in early 2012, closing on January 9, and reopening on May 28 2012. Big Thunder has had a number of effects missing for some time now, so this refurbishment should provide an opportunity to fully restore the attraction.
Touringplans.com says it's closed through March 31, 2012 though. Wonder which date is more accurate.
If it's not until end of May, we'll miss it with our next trip Anyone heard anything more?
