the question is will Walt Disney: One Man's Dream and the Voyage of The Little Mermaid close
or when because that's the rumored entrance to Toy Story land in that area.
OMD was slated to close last fall. Shows how things can change...Didn't insiders @marni1971 say both are not long for this world?
If it is still planned to basically be an entrance to the land, it could be cleared late in the process. And with the land defying the odds and opening a full three years after it was announced (dear lord), they could easily keep it open til next summer. Shows how desperate they are for capacity.OMD was slated to close last fall. Shows how things can change...
Indeed. Ops are very very concerned about DHS park capacity both now and over the next few years. And considering I've been told over the last 3 years to expect Indy, LMA, BatB, Mermaid and OMD to all close at various times, I think they're playing it by ear now.If it is still planned to basically be an entrance to the land, it could be cleared late in the process.

What are they doing with BatB?Indeed. Ops are very very concerned about DHS park capacity both now and over the next few years. And considering I've been told over the last 3 years to expect Indy, LMA, BatB, Mermaid and OMD to all close at various times, I think they're playing it by ear now.
But the backlot tour closed 18 months ago. Surely TSL is nearly finished by now?
At the moment I don't know. It seems DHS plans and timetables are changing regularly.What are they doing with BatB?

@danlb_2000 i dont see them putting it way back there, the laydown space is pretty tight as it is... (how many truckloads does it take to move a rollercoaster anyway?)
You typically get two pieces of 40 ft track per truck and the track layout tells me it should be around 40 pieces so with track, the supports, trains and other large componets probably around 30 truck loads.@danlb_2000 i dont see them putting it way back there, the laydown space is pretty tight as it is...

If they are that concerned about capacity, I would think that would indicate SWL going in the LMA area. If it's going in Echo Lake as rumored that will require even more closings.
I also think they are waiting for the arena at Wide World of Sports to open before they can close Indiana Jones. Some people said its booked up with cheer competitions for years so they need somewhere to move them. But once Indy does close that is a big loss of capacity to the park. I assume they have plans for something in the Flex space or the Fantasmic amphitheatre as a filler.Of course, getting TSL open ASAP would make closing down stuff in Echo Lake (really just Indy and I guess the Star Wars clip thing in Sounds Dangerous) much easier to do.
According to the tweet, that area was previously occupied by NFL models, maybe its SWL & TSL models?
I know this is from March, but supposedly VOTLM will be getting a replacement, so I guess its not closing?the question is will Walt Disney: One Man's Dream and the Voyage of The Little Mermaid close
