I assume they have been working on the inside for a while now, but it looks like we will now see some exterior work.

Fascinating.

There is plenty of development occurring. Just maybe not the kind you would like to see.

For anyone who is not up to speed on this, it is strongly rumored that this will be a third track for TSMM. Permit for the work was filed last September...

When is this project going to be complete?

 

[Rose&Crowner]

My signature countdown broke, so I have to guess December 4th 2015.

Has the contractor for this project done anything for disney before?

 

[WondersOfLife]

Typical Disney.. An attraction that's "suffering" from low capacity is "fixed" by adding a third track instead of adding a new outstanding ride... Same goes for Soarin'.

The question still remains whether this will use the entire building or whether part of it will be available for other uses (e.g. perhaps a new M&G area). After all, we are just talking about 1 track compared to the two in the similarly sized soundstage next door.

Why is disney (most likely) going to waste more money on a NEW track! I read some where it really wouldn't increase capacity due to the loading system

Why can't we have both? Increasing capacity to TSMM and Soarin' is perfectly reasonable given the demand for those rides and the parks' attendance. You can increase their capacity and add new rides (which, at least for DHS, does seem like it will be happening) -- it shouldn't have to be either/or.

Yes, this is one of Disney's big contractors. Recently they did the Grand Floridian expansion. They are also doing the Frozen ride in Epcot.

Then possibly it could be a new ride

AMC Pleasure Island
Rainforest
T-Rex
and probably some others. Those I pulled from their website.

It's been pretty much confirmed but a number of reliable sources that it's the TSMM third track.

Thats really a shame, its a waste of space and money.
