Disneyland has announced the closures of multiple attractions in January to make way for its new ‘Star Wars’-themed land.
Work will begin on the 14-acre project, dubbed the biggest single expansion in Disney’s history, on January 11.
It will mean the permanent closure of Big Thunder Ranch, which houses Big Thunder Ranch Barbecue, Big Thunder Ranch Petting Farm and Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree.
Attractions on the Rivers of America will close for a temporary period including Mark Twain Riverboat, the Sailing Ship Columbia, the Pirates Lair on Tom Sawyer Island, and also the Disneyland Railroad.
About 14% of the 85-acre park will be affected during the construction which will take about a year to complete.
"These authentic lands will have two signature attractions, including the ability to take the controls of one of the most recognizable ships in the galaxy, the Millennium Falcon, on a customized secret mission, and an epic Star Wars adventure that puts guests in the middle of a climactic battle," Disney said on its official blog.
