These appear to be water pumps, my guess is for the water screens and fountains in the moat. You can see electrical boxes(disconnects) stationed in front of each pump. You can see 6 main pipes feeding into the ground, 3 remain still intact and are larger than the 3 partially removed. I assume...

Does anyone think that as Disney continues to expand Disney+ and Hulu we will start to see integration of Movies Anywhere for subscribers that have existing digital movie collections linked through MA? (Movies Anywhere is the "digital locker" service owned by the WDC, it allows users who have...

I am not a road engineer so I don’t fully understand the reason they wanted to remove the bridge. The new ramp achieves the same thing as the old ramp with the bridge. I understand, because of the new DHS entrance, the bridge is superfluous As no traffic needs to cross the ramp any longer. With...

spot on with the color matching ;)

Is the new backstage access road between mission space and play pavilion meant to be permanent after construction concludes on the front of GotG and play? Or will they remove the access and replant trees?

I agree with that statement as most expect the Olympics to continue as scheduled, even those interviewed in that story. The only reason to run the story is for the perspective of "look how bad this could be"

The flu and COVID-19 are immoral! But on a serious note the biggest danger in differences between the two is the long period of incubation in host. For COVID-19 incubation takes, potentially, greater that 14 days (studies ongoing) the flu is just 2 days of incubation. The length to show signs...

You are not totally wrong but no industry tied to china has a specific insulation for shut downs due to virus outbreaks. You can argue they should have, but the truth is the tourism industry will always be the hardest hit when it comes to extraordinary circumstances such as these. You could look...

An option to cut cost but keep all gates open.... Sounds like a few unexpected refurbs might be in the works. I joke but if the Chinese parks stay closed for long there will be significant ripples across Disney parks.

If they can't use the site they have why are they updating it? That's the main reason this thread got bumped in the first place. Genuine question.

This is not an exact layover but here is a general idea of where we can expect landscaped berms (a la SWL berm between TSMM and Batuu) to form and obscure the view of the hotel structure. As you can see from the concept art it is intended for the guest not to see the main building but instead...

That makes obvious sense, therefore why put it in at all. I would assume the reasoning you state is probably the main reasons a fireworks launch pad wasn’t built in the earlier stages of the park. That and the fact that explosive fireworks might not mesh well with a “working studio”. All in all...

Seems like the start of a new shortcut path. No?

I'm arguing they have options and it’s premature to suggest the business model for this hotel is doomed. Especially considering Disney is pioneering a new niche market here.

Several posters have made the argument that this resort will be downgraded to a "value resort" due to repeatability or lack there of. Let me remind you that there is no reason the story line cannot change or be seasonal. Im sure anyone who makes a reservation will be included on a mailing list...
