David Koenig reports (http://www.mouseplanet.com/10802/Frozen_Gets_Fastpass):
Sixteen months ago, Tom & Huck’s Treehouse on Tom Sawyer Island was closed (http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/entry.php?1089-Safety-Closures-Reach-the-Island) as part of a fall protection overhaul at the park. With its short railings and narrow stairs, the amusement was considered not up to state safety codes.

Now it appears the closure is permanent. “There are no plans to reopen the treehouse,” said one cast member. “It seems that to upgrade it to Cal-OSHA standards would entail completely redesigning and rebuilding the treehouse—something TDA (Team Disney Anaheim) is not interested in doing.”
