Adding to the set installation efforts at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, this is the second Notice of Commencement filed recently, with Icarus Exhibits named in a similar previous permit. Despite this new filing, which has a standard one-year expiration, the overall potential timeline for the refurbishment remains unchanged, as indicated by the DPR Construction permit valid until April 15, 2026.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom closed for refurbishment on January 6, 2025, with a current projected reopening sometime in 2026. Several permits have been filed in support of this work, each with varying potential durations. The longest-standing permit, held by DPR Construction, is set to expire on April 15, 2026. Permits for Coastal Steel and Icarus Exhibits share an expiration date of March 13, 2026, while the most recent permit issued to Mecca Productions, based on a standard one-year term from its filing, is expected to expire in July 2025. These permit timelines offer insight into the phases and potential duration of the ongoing refurbishment efforts.
