The contractor assigned to the project is Belfour Beatty Construction, Disney’s long-term partner/contractor.
In case you didn’t know, Belfour Beatty Construction previously worked on Pandora – The World of AVATAR at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. They also worked on EPCOT’s Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is set open at the Magic Kingdom in late 2024, however, Disney hasn’t announced a closure date for Splash Mountain.
“Current estimates suggest a January 2023 closure for Splash Mountain.”
