For Zootopia, Disney has said "Winter 2025", the current prevalent theory is around the November timeframe to coincide with the release of Zootopia 2.

Of all the lengthy time-frames for new attractions, this one makes the least sense. The movie should already be in the can, it's just updating interiors to match it. No reason this should take longer than 2-3 months.

Zootopia in the tree is expected to open sometime in November to coincide with the latest film release.

The only thing more ridiculous then the idea of them bringing this back, is that they would actually have current plans to bring it back.

Y’all never learn do ya?i was away for time for vacation and also reconnecting with friends that have some input on this. Zootopia streaming has gone up in development and we will see both! For a time zootopia and then a retransition and back to tough to be a bug. Similar to test tracks refresh and return to branding before. Surprised it will go this way but thank you for your patience. Does this clear it up now? No more doubters
But Test Track isn't being replaced with World of Motion, it's being refreshed on someone elses dime and is taking inspiration from World of Motion. I would not be the least bit surprised if that inspiration is very subtle.

It's neither: he's screwing with the people who respond. He doesn't believe anything he's saying, he's intentionally saying ridiculous stuff to get reactions. Literally nothing you guys say is going to make him stop arguing this point because that's the joke.
It's like this classic Tumblr exchange where the guy insists sharks are smooth. Except waaaaaaaay less funny (and that guy didn't start out trolling).
Edit: Whoops! Fixed the link; now it's the smooth shark guy.

They are updating the interior more than you imagine.

1) You are simply making assumptions to what he is doing. You may be right or it can just be another wannabe insider like WDWPro who knows absolutely nothing and will continue spewing nonsense that they truly believe.
2) Sharks are indeed smooth. It’s called science.

I think the idea is that there will be a new
A Bug's Life attraction.
In fact
This would make more sense if your sources were telling you that A Bug's Life would be returning to Animal Kingdom, but not necessarily to the Tree of Life, or that the Zootopia show will move to a new Zootopia land when it opens and be replaced by a revamped A Bug's Life show.Y’all never learn do ya?
From a director of Zootopia 2:
Sounds like he's involved with the attraction.

I'm not arguing that it was well received. And as a 90s kid, I loved A Bug's Life. But the reality is that kids today aren't being brought up rewatching A Bug's Life over and over on Disney+. It simply hasn't had staying power like other 90s animation classics or Pixar films. It was a one and done franchise that hasn't received any love since stopped being sold.

Even if it was just “updating interiors to match” that would be a tight schedule. We know from notices of commencement that there will still be some in-theater effects. Those need to be adjusted and programmed. You need new show controls to run all of that and it doesn’t make sense to keep using legacy equipment from 30 years ago.

Or maybe he genuinely doesn’t understand why people are so worked up.
Unless Test Track is becoming World of Motion I don’t see the similarity.

A new attraction based on It's Tough To Be a Bug, just as the new Test Track will be inspired by World of Motion.

I agree they will upgrade. But new controls have been problematic, witness splash that went from "never down" with 30 year old magnetic trigger switches to "always down" with 2024 image recognition or whatever they used. ( I know it has improved since opening ) There have been numerous examples of new rides that won't run because of the modern controls.
So to me it could make sense to re-task that legacy equipment since the new stuff seems so finicky. They won't do it but it could make sense. Now if I were king....
All this trolling aside, I'm sure Guest Services is having a nice quiet few days break from hearing about the latest person who had a "fear induced accident" on TTBAB.
