If we are also talking about the best roller coaster based on the thrill factor, Busch Gardens and SeaWorld arguably have some better roller coasters than Universal and Disney. Theming is a different story.

I’m not sure about the exact same thrill level . Velocicoaster is one of the best roller coasters in the world that I will never ride again . But if anything is going to come close it’s the villains coaster.

Agree… Disney will never make a thrill coaster like Velocicoaster. Not in the Magic Kingdom. It’s not their target market. But they could easily make a coaster as thrilling as Hagrids. Hagrids is an exceptional coaster.
Do construction walls come from overseas?

Yes from the floating island of walllandia. It’s made entirely of walls and sits just off the coast of Russia.

Yes. Canada is a source of wood products, which would include the plywood and dimensional lumber used to build construction walls.
Wall-hala was sitting right there. You could have taken it

If you are going to say Time Traveler (Silver Dollar City) exceeds Cosmic Rewind on any level or characteristic then we can just agree to disagree on our general outlook on what “quality” is.

Theme wise Guardians is better. Thrill wise Time Traveler beats Guardians

Yep, agree to disagree.
Never say never. RnR was on par intense for it's time. Paris built a looping coaster and a launching inverting Space Mt in the 90s coaster and park war era.

runDisney 10miler went through HS today so maybe the walls had to wait until after the race weekendConstruction Delay for Monsters Inc. Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios

It's not a real race unless you have to shimmy over walls.
Don’t they sell the May the Fourth merch in that store every year? I know they just announced more new merch for this year. Maybe the Powers That Be asked them to hold off on construction until after then?

For what it’s worth was just at Mama Melrose's yesterday for a dinner and our waiter told us they have already been reassigned jobs. He told us they close May 11 and then the very next day work is to begin.

The 10-Miler passed along Grand Ave but did not enter the Muppets Courtyard area where the walls would be, so that is not the cause of any percieved delay. This is different from Dinoland's closure following the Marathon in January, since that course passed directly through the area that's now closed off, including exiting the park through the backstage gate there.
Additionally, the mere presence of a race would not preclude crews working overnight that same night, as long as they're able to clear the area in time. MK's Christmas tree is often removed during Marathon Weekend, when the last day guests can be in the park until after 1am (at least, with the park's old hours) and the course needs to be secure for runners by 4:30am. Work that's farther from the course itself in a park with shorter operating hours like this would have even more flexibility.
You joke, but that's not too far off from the Disneyland Half Marathon in 2011, during the peak of DCA's overhaul. Running the walled-in gauntlet over uneven trolley tracks was quite the experience!

I agree, Disney can produce thrilling coasters if they want to. Unfortunately, the 90s was a different era, but who knows, maybe with the success of Velocicoaster and Stardust Racers, Disney might want to compete again in that market. But I just don't see current Disney building a coaster with inversions.
It depends on what the audience is calling for. Personally I want more dark rides but lately DIsney has been coaster heavy, if not thrilling, coaster heavy due to competition's success.
I prefer one or two great that have a thrill with a balance of Dark Rides and Shows for the rest. But that is not the norm as audiences have gotten braver and coaster types becoming more accessible.
