I pray they will have a single rider line like the Shanghai version does. Absolutely HUGE!!

Single rider on a ride that only has 2 per row isn’t that valuable for operations. A better method is to group even and odd numbered groups like they do for 7DMT.

Yes I know Everest has single rider.

Single rider lines may well be a thing of the past post COVID changes.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

It sounds like a fair characterization of the major new attractions is something like:

• Remy - Fall 2020
• Guardians - Spring/Summer 2021
• Tron - Summer/Fall 2021
• Play! -Fall/Winter 2021 or early 2022

Is that fair?

What about Harmonius? Add that and I would be happy since we are bumping our trip to Dec 2021.

Only until there is a vaccine. People (not necessarily you) are just being way too dramatic about this stuff.

It was working quite well in Shanghai. And the 7DMT line can get backed up hours so I'm not sure the even/odd methodology works well. If 1 person is solo and wants to ride, I'm not sure it makes sense for them to wait 2+ hours.

Maybe the workers are there to disassemble it, and sell it to six flags?

A lot, but not all work on Disney parks attractions resumes this week.

 

[Minnie1976]

If my friend is offended by Tron, will they change it to something else? Just asking for a friend.

Master Control Program is very triggering.

They should rename it the 'Collective Control Program,' maybe reduce that to an acronym to save time.

There will also be a Splash Mountain redo but given that they haven't even closed it yet I think we can assume it's not coming out by 2021?

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think they will close Splash Mountain until Tron opens up first to at least compensate the closure of Splash which I think would be for a year or more.

But there were cynics who were certain these projects would rot in place because Disney is bankrupt.

I have to stop listening to cynics.

Some things will not resume in an effort to save money.

They always said everything would resume in phases. Which makes sense to flatten the curve and each following wave.

My biggest concern is the Epcot entrance plaza getting completed.

Some things will not return full stop. Luckily the entrance plaza isn’t one of them.

Who? Surely you can quote a member who said TRON was going to be left.

I was being sarcastic.

But you know the spirited haters would love nothing more than for that structure to sit empty for the next decade so they could mention it daily here.

Some. Full. Stop. ? I assume this is for all gates.

Wondering what the defunct fountain area will look like now. My mind sees a semi circle of food vendors selling 3 street tacos for $24, or color your own dessert plate, 2 for $30.
