Even TTA will be closed for this.

It's a shame too, since it will probably be at least another 5+ years until I get back there again.

There's more than enough new stuff for you to see to make up for a lame Magic Kingdom

They did a rehab on SM about 8 or nine years ago, and I have pictures of the inside on video.

Besides, a fully refurbished TTA along with a 'new' Space Mountain should be pretty sweet when all is finished.
