PHOTOS: Grizzly River Run Reopens Following Annual Refurbishment at Disney California Adventure

The water is flowing and the rapids are wild once more at Grizzly River Run, as the attraction has reopened to guests following its annual refurbishment.

The ride was closed last month to refurbish the scenery, as we saw what looked like plaster work and repainting going on.

Naturally, an attraction with this much water will cause a lot of wear and tear to scenery, so it makes sense to refurbish it during the colder months, when less people are likely to ride.

But the refurbishment has concluded, the scenery is refreshed, and the guests have returned, ready to ride around Grizzly Peak!

But while the attraction itself has reopened, the right portion of the nearby area still has construction walls up.

Of course, that hasn’t seemed to impact the queue layout.

It should be noted that the refurbishment of the area doesn’t have a set end date, so it’s unknown exactly when Grizzly Peak will be back in full working order.
