I have no inside information but I would venture a guess that the money from Bob’s Folly went towards the partial CC rebuild.The thing they axed?
Does they mean the project is likely to be costing less with the removal of that (with a less ambitious build) and the techno-tree and Spaceship Earth redo or is that money disappearing the way it always seems to with other projects?
Well only a fraction of the money is going toward that, as the whole point is it’s less expensive than the original.I have no inside information but I would venture a guess that the money from Bob’s Folly went towards the partial CC rebuild.
Totally bizarre that its going to take them a whole year more to finish Epcot. How the heck can it take that long for such a tiny and extremely underwhelming update.
I wonder if Uni's taking up all the contractors in the area with Epic.
Will CommuniCore Hall opening mean the Canada theatre not having to turn into booze booth half the year?
It's not the only thing being constructed.This is just sad, it's a water playground, not an e-ticket. Should not last another full year of construction.
MGM was announced after and was the direct result of Universal's announcement. Disney was hoping Universal would throw in the towel. It's also why MGM was a half-day park... it was quickly cobbled together.Really need to get your facts straight. MGM was built before Universal studios. Animal Kingdom also opened before Islands of Adventure. SMH
They said Universal Studios prompted Disney to build MGM, which is 100% true. The Animal Kingdom part is not.Really need to get your facts straight. MGM was built before Universal studios. Animal Kingdom also opened before Islands of Adventure. SMH
The key difference between now and then...Isn’t it interesting that Disney cared so much about Universal back then that they actually announced a new park and then raced to beat Universal’s opening whereas now their ego is so big they just sit on their laurels and releases answers years after Universal.
You really need to get your facts straight before calling others out. MGM was a direct response to the announcement of Universal Orlando. Eisner wanted to beat Uni to the punch and rushed to open the park, hence it has never been a complete park to this day. The AK piece is false. might want to do some homework before you proclaim yourself the expert.Really need to get your facts straight. MGM was built before Universal studios.

Hmm, not really sure who needs to get facts straight here. htaylor1918 didn’t post anything factually incorrect in the part you quoted, at least as far as I can see. Regardless of if MGM was in response to Universal it still opened first, so that's correct. Also, AK opened in 1998, on Earth Day IIRC. Looks like IOA opened in 1999, about a year after AK. Perhaps I'm mistaken (and the internet, too) and IOA opened earlier than 1999, but AK was definitely open in 1998, I visited it in 1998.You really need to get your facts straight before calling others out.

If you’d even bothered to follow the conversation, you’d see that they were clearly suggesting that MGM was not in response to Universal, which is wrong. Let me spell it out for you below:Hmm, not really sure who needs to get facts straight here. htaylor1918 didn’t post anything factually incorrect in the part you quoted, at least as far as I can see.

Universal Florida prompted Disney to build MGM Studios

You made a poor assumption. I had already read up. htaylor1918 didn’t insinuate anything (and also quoted nobody) and instead stated a fact: ”MGM was built before Universal studios”. As I said before, regardless of the reasoning behind the post, that is a fact. You called them out to get their facts straight, but their facts are straight.If you’d even bothered to follow the conversation, you’d see that they were clearly suggesting that MGM was not in response to Universal, which is wrong.

Funny advice coming from someone who calls people out to fact check when their own facts are really “facts”.Read before commenting!

It's clear they don't care. I wouldn't be surprised if they finish Moana and just leave it sitting there behind construction walls until the rest of the spine is completed. Guests can just deal, I guess.It's honestly so far along that I'm intensely puzzled by the whole timeline. Unless they literally just rope off Moana and open all the surrounding pathways, it makes no sense. They have to be aware of how negatively impacted the entire EPCOT experience is by having the center of the park shuttered, yet the timeline suggests complete indifference.
