This closure recently changed to an unknown reopening date. Anyone know what they are doing? It's a "newer" ride so I am surprised it would need a major refurb. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it's open when we go...

I suspect it is just closed because Splash is closed. Maybe they will do some fresh paint or some repairs, but I doubt there is much more planned than that, if that even. I think it's just more cost-effective for them to shut down the land when Splash is closed for such a long time.

I agree. Also, I had noticed more projections when we were there in September, so it seems to have already gotten the update like Alice and the other dark rides are getting.

I rode it 2 days ago and was told by a CM to expect April 3 as a re-open date, fwiw.

Davey Crocket's Canoes is listed as Apr. 3 so that date seems logical for all of Critter Country.

the entire land is shuttered - and I have no doubt they put a wall between HM and Harbour Galley (have not visited today to check) . All the attractions, Hungry Bear Restaurant, the two stores, etc. all closed.

Sad!! :( I was really hoping my son would get to ride that one. He loves Winnie the Pooh. REALLY sad about that one.

I'm guessing that it will have a loop, in addition to the Hatbox Ghost ...:fez:

Lets start rumor that they are getting rid of critter country and adding Starwarsland.

They could still call it Critter Country, but it'll just be full of ewoks. ;)

Great minds think alike

So sad about this one as well. My son loves Pooh andI loved pooh corner. I also haven't been able to ride splash in awhile since I've been pregnant my last 2 trips. :(

We have not been on Matterhorn for over 4 years because it's been closed on the trips we were able to go on. rrrrrrrr
