Found on Disney's refurbishment portal.
Jan. 7 – Oct. 30, 2012: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will be closed for refurbishment.
(I assume it means 2013 not 2012 by the way!)
Just wanted to get the official dates out there. Hope everybody gets their last rides in before it closes!
My signature is NOT larger than my post, nor should yours be!
'Bout time they added the loop.

I'm really excited to see what they're going to do with Thunder. I'm going to try and ride it as many times as possible before it goes down.
Princess of Agrabah and Queen of Never Land
I think they're adding Toy Story characters.
They are adding Johnny Depp
They're adding Don Knotts and Tim Conway.
"The old man's gonna knock on the sky. Listen to the sound."
Actually, several Johnny Depps, along with the rest of the cast from the upcoming version of The Lone Ranger, complete with new dialogue from the characters! And don't forget the interactive queue featuring Toy Story characters.
"Every atom is a world, an infinity unfurled.
A world of inner space without an end!
A world of mystery, of endless energy,
with treasures more than man can ever spend!"
That would actually be something to see. I hate the requirement that every new addition has to cross market to a movie, but at least the Apple Dumpling Gang fits into the overall theme of the land (unlike a certain toy sheriff who has been known to frequent Frontierland).
"You can cut me off from the civilized world. You can incarcerate me with two moronic cellmates. You can torture me with your thrice daily swill, but you cannot break the spirit of a Winchester. My voice shall be heard from this wilderness and I shall be delivered from this fetid and festering sewer."
Don't give them ideas!!!!!!
They added Lone Ranger and Tonto
Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep
moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things... and
curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. - Walt Disney
NNOOOOOO!!!!!! My favorite ride in the whole park! Gone! Sad to see it'll be closed while I'm there but at least the refurb is for the better right? Honestly, I see NOTHING wrong with the attraction as it stands and I have a sneaking suspicion that any additions will sadly be Movie-related ones.
Actually, so long as they only ADD things yet don't change the way the ride is now (save for enhancing a few effects) I'll be content to know my favorite ride is in relatively good hands.

On my first trip of the winter Indy will be closed. On my second trip BTMRR is switching out for it.
Mermaids?
