Well that answers the question of if and how well it'll cover the Frozen show building.

The acid test will be a photo from the Mystic Point end.

Woah! Probably for new years show as it’s approaching

Happy New Year everyone!

Now if my assumptions are right. They will demolish the stage in exchange for a new entrance to the expanded area.

I think that’s a given. Plus a pathway by Iron Man’s exit.

Is this the park's last unused expansion pad?

No the main expansion pad left is east of grizzly which is also the park’s largest expansion pad

There is also a pad on the other side of the train maintenance track from where they are building TOT but without moving the train depo and the awkward spot space is in it’s a very hard to reach pad (its why it made sense it was part of autopia)

Oh gotcha! I'm assuming that expansion pad East of Grizzly was the one once proposed for Tim Delaney's Pirates of the Caribbean idea??

I would hope Disney would opt for that idea. A big drop fume water ride.

Kind of a shame they built a single theater in a plot of land large enough for another mini land

I feel like this space could've been used better if the theater hadn't been placed dead center

All the better to wipe out Toy Story Playland eventually.

Though it’s to the right edge of pre-existing backstage facilities. There’s certainly leftover space between the two once the trailers go, maybe dining one day.

I know Disney temporary will mean it's there for 10 years minimum but in a park with not loads to do I'd rather they use the vacant land for what I am sure will be a high quality production versus it's left empty until the plot of land is required.

The theater could've been built adjacent to FEA leaving enough space on the other side for future attractions, without creating the need to demo the theater in the future

HKD is too short on space for them not to be perfectly arranging buildings like tetris pieces the way TDR and DLR do

There were pre existing structures, and it looks like a rear wing extension being built that can’t impact the access road.

Progress is really fast. D23 is coming and I'm hoping they will announce the opening date for this pixar experience area by then. I also hope for them to release more information regarding the Stark Expo expansion. It doesn't seem right to me that the attraction is just a droptower since there's already one at TSL. Could be a new ride system.

You could say the same about Paris. Although a ToT style attraction is hardly just a drop tower.

Paris and HK could use a high capacity ride like Soarin or TSM type of system.

Oh right.. I forgot abt that lol

Soarin’ isn’t high capacity. Only 650 per theatre per hour.
