it is not

Any sort of source? Not trying to doubt you, I'm just usually skeptical about things when Martin himself doesn't immediately confirm

is it not known the ball is to be mapped to heck and back?

I like to think of myself as keeping up with these threads and rumors very closely but I haven't heard that one. I mean, it's a very plausible rumor though -- every other WDW park's main landmark is mapped: Cinderella's Castle, Chinese Theater, Tree of Life... makes sense.

Why would they reveal everything they have planned at a media preview ?

Either:

1. They have to much to announce at that actual parks panel they decided to announce the smaller details for previously announced additions. (Names of lands (Marvel DCA, DLP) and attractions, small additions (Journey of water) to announced plans or updates (Tron, SWR) to plans)

2. Want to generate online buzz for D23 with said information and make the media feel special.

3. Combination of both.

Any updates as to when this work will begin? I checked @MisterPenguin's rumor tracker and it still says late 2019/early 2020 for an estimated closure. Wondering if Feb 2020 will be too late to get one last trip through time.

Last thing from Martin was this same time frame. People would ask if it'd be open December and he says maybe, people ask if it'd be open January and he says maybe... So... Maybe you'll be good in Feb?

The rumor tracker is quoting Martin.

Yep! Not trying to diss the rumor tracker, was just trying to make a joke by saying who knows if Feb is good. Your tracker is the closest thing there is to a WDWMagic Wiki.

Wish we could have a good Wiki...

Lets get it going -- I'm in need of a fun side-project.

Obviously the art probably still isn't final but here's an angle of the modified SSE post ride area (soon to be pre ride?):

I know they're going for the nostalgia factor but the 80s art still stands on its own to this day. The slogan on the "new" poster just sounds great. Let's hope they do the ride justice.

I hope they bring back the fiber-optics.

I can say, I've heard similar things have been tested late at night and the tests were positive in response.

Yes....

 

[Casper Gutman]

Yes....

Wait, wait... the art looked like it could be, but is their genuine confirmation?

 

[mgf]

Not as it was portrayed in the announcement but they definitely showed this creature from Moana flying around.
