If you want to look for something good coming out of the closure of the Disneyland Resort, it will be hard to find. However, with the park closed and being unable to currently entertain guests, it gives the park plenty of time to work on outstanding projects. Here is a list from our friends over at The OC Register of projects that are currently being worked on at Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure.
Disneyland
1) Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway – Vertical construction started awhile back and they will continue to move forward with progress with the Mickey Mouse themed dark ride.
2) Haunted Mansion – The Mansion was already closed when the parks shut down for normal teardown and a scheduled refurbishing. The project will include fresh paint throughout the attraction. Also, there will be a few ride mechanics to be taken care of.
3) Snow White Scary Adventures – Snow White is in the process of becoming less scary. A fresh lighter paint scheme and removal of the somewhat frightening finale are what is waiting for guests upon return.
4) King Arthur Carrousel – The project will replace the steel canopy and also freshen up horses on the ride.
5) Indiana Jones Adventure – A permit has been issued to replace a plank bridge and also repair its steel structure.
