Refurbishment Cancelled On It’s Tough To Be A Bug!?
It looks like that the planned refurbishments that were going ahead in August to the attraction in the Animal Kingdom are no longer going to happen but what is the reason for this? Whilst Disney haven’t officially confirmed a reason here are just a few of my thoughts on the matter.
It’s Summer!>
Those of you that read my previous post on the attraction closing for refurbishment in the first place will remember how surprised I was that Disney were intending on closing one of the best attractions at the Animal Kingdom right in the middle of the peak season. It may be that they have come to their senses and realised that whilst Animal Kingdom is an awesome park it doesn’t contain the number of attractions that the other parks have so all attractions need to stay operating during one of the busiest times at WDW.
It’s Closing
Of course the other option out there is that the attraction is going to be closing for good and although this would be terrible news it has been something that Disney have been thinking about for years (I have spoken about it in other posts too) and replacing it with something that doesn’t frighten the heck out of kids! Although I personally think it would be a great shame to see the attraction close as it is one of my favourites I do understand the reasons.
So what do you think is happening to It’s Tough to be a Bug?
It’s Tough To Be A Bug Closing- But Just For Refurbishment!
You might wonder why I have put just for refurbishment in the title but fans of the attraction will know that Disney have considered closing it down for good for quite a few years now and it is good to see that this will be closing for just a small refurbishment between August and October! So why are Disney even considering closing this fantastic Animal Kingdom attraction?
Is It’s Tough To Be A Bug Too Scary?
Believe it or not but one of the biggest complaints that cast members get at the Animal Kingdom park comes from this attraction scaring children and it is understandable to a certain extent. Within the 3D show you are stung in the back by bees, attacked by spiders and even cockroaches crawl underneath you, it is enough to scare any full grown man let alone a child. On the other hand, what did you expect from a bug show? The show itself is full of hilarious moments that more than make up for the scary parts and I have been in the audience where I have heard 50+ kids cry and other times the only thing I can hear is laughter.
Good News For A Bug’s Life Fans
Of course the great news is that it doesn’t seem that Disney are planning on closing the attraction anytime soon which is fantastic as A Bug’s Life is my favourite Pixar movie and one of my favourite movies of all time and the attraction is certainly one of my favourites too.
What do you think about It’s Tough To Be A Bug, is it too scary for kids?
