That would be my guess. I will be there on Saturday. Hopefully the CM's will be in a sharing mood with info.
Also the Matterhorn is down for several months. Wonder if that is to install the new bobsleds?

I had noticed that Matterhorn would be down for a while too but was not aware that they were changing out the bobsleds! I sure hope that they are nostalgic like the current sleds

I got the scoop from my nephew who works at Disneyland.
Alice n Wonderland is closing to do a refurb on the track when it leaves the building and goes back to ground level. Probably getting rid of the temp scrim that is there. All of this is to comply with OSHA requirements.
The Matterhorn will be closing to get some new tracks to make it a smoother ride. The new bobsleds are back stage and will be installed during this refurb.
I can't wait to see how Alice looks when it is done. Hope is looks better than the way it looks now. Also looking forward to seeing the new bobsleds. This is one of my favorites.

Thanks for the inside scoop! It is much appreciated. I cannot wait to see how it all looks when it's finished

The Matterhorn & Alice in Wonderland
Is under full refurb now. The whole mountain is covered with scaffolding and scrims. I am eagerly awaiting the June re opening.
Alice in Wonderland is still up and running. Thought is was to be going through a long refurb. Guess the dates were changed on that.

Another 916'er here!
Thanks Disney4us2 for the info. It will be so nice to get rid of the temporary bracing on Alice. It was so sad to see it cover the leaves path and it isn't very attractive.

The new sleds have both an updated paint job and design, but the biggest change is individual seats and seat backs. Guests will no longer required to sit two to a seat, with one straddling the other. The seat belts are being replaced with lap bars.

The individual seating sounds great to me! Can't wait to see it when it's all done

Just checked the refurb schedule. Alice is not on the list. Just the Matterhorn, Columbia and GRR.
I was there this past Saturday and it was open although the ride closed due to malfunction. We will also be there on this coming Saturday. Hopefully Alice will still be open.

This is from the Disney Parks Blog. It shows the new bobsleds etc. Looks like it will be great. They are adding a single rider line as well.

Love that they are adding a single rider! Makes sense especially with the new bobsled configuration. Thank you Disney Parks Blog for the update!
