1	barboy Wed 10/17/2007 11:09p	We have changed our touring dates to Jan. 21,22,23,24 and 25. I checked the "temporary closure of attractions" section on the official TDR page and Indiana Jones is scheduled for closure Jan. 7 --- Jan. 20. Does TDR have a reliable track record of keeping to their refurb. schedules? I really don't want to miss that attraction so I was wondering what might the likelihood be that I.J. will be open on my visit based on the published schedule. Does Disney Sea's volcano erupt every day of the year or is it turned off during certain seasons or times? I would hate to find out that it is "dormant" during the winter or value/off season. Should we expect an active volcano for our trip? Many thanks ahead of time.

Don't know if they have a maintenence schedule though, most likely they have to get in there and fix stuff SOMETIMES I would guess. Can't speak for the attractions, I've never paid attention to maintenence schedules.

4	Mr X Wed 10/17/2007 11:37p	It's not hourly TDR-Fan, it's on a mixed schedule so it appears random.
5	barboy Wed 10/17/2007 11:41p	Now that's what I call great service from you two!(it's only fitting that I'm in the TDR section of LP too as opposed to say the relatively poor service at WDW). Thanks very much X and TDR_Fan.
6	Mr X Wed 10/17/2007 11:49p	yw. Yup...better class of theme parks breeds better class of fans. :p
7	TDR_Fan Thu 10/18/2007 2:37a	My mistake. It seemed to be erupting every hour or so when I was at the MiraCosta, but it wasn't exactly on the hour every eruption. There never seems to be a gap of more than 2 hours between the eruptions though.
8	Mr X Thu 10/18/2007 2:42a	I don't really remember the schedule all that clearly, but behind the scenes it is actually programmed as "part of the entertainment", meaning they generally timed it so there wasn't an exploding volcano erupting in the middle of an atmosphere show even... And yes, it's fairly frequent but not so much that you can really sit there and wait for it (on purpose), it's just something magical that "happens" when you least expect it. ;)
