NEW: Water Added Into The Rivers Of America! Refurbishment Almost Finished!

The Rivers Of America Has neared the end of it’s refurbishment!


Work on the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island has been underway since last year, in October. But now it looks as if the refurb is just about finished. Water has been added to the river, and the refurbishment on the island seems almost ready for guests! New rockwork was added at the base of the mill which has been re-painted and beautified (for the exception of the “Harper’s Mill” signage). The track was replaced and other buildings on the island saw an upgrade as well.

Just Wednesday they were still hard at work on the island and IN the river bank:

But the River itself is now filling with water and already looking marvelous!
