Universal doesn't have any parks open yet in China, so they aren't being hit nearly as hard. They have pulled all the US based execs and creatives out of China (about 1,800 people). But construction is still ongoing. Universal Studios Japan is seeing reduced attendance because tourism in Japan is down right now because of the virus. But it isn't dire.
It will not be reopening in that same space though, it will be one of the temporary HHN mazes, it is rumored a permanent Universal Monsters maze will be coming to the current Walking Dead spot
I didn't know it was an omnimover. I think that is a first for Universal. So instead of sitting in a box, we get to ride Yoshi. Looking at the size of the building on the upper lot, there is no room for it down by Mario Kart on the lower lot. I think it should nicely compliment the Minions ride across from it.
Here is a blurry shot of the plastic wrapped Yoshi ride vehicles. It is definitely an Omnimover. And yes, SLoP is the same ride system.
Yes that is true
Yes this will be an omnimover style attraction
Can you sight your source please.

And here is an interesting tidbit from the SLoP press release.
"Combining 64 technologically-advanced animated figures, “The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash!” invites guests to meet some of their favorite characters from the movies, who themselves have transformed into dimensional beings. From blinking eyes to eye and eyebrow movements, from head tilts to head nods, from moving mouths to smiles, from ear curls to lip curls, from full torso twists to physically walking, the depth of mobility and function programmed within each of these loveable characters creates an experience unlike any other theme park ride."
This ride engineering website had it but it was taken off that website like a month or two ago
