Oh man! This image shows two things. 1) The Pixar Ball was originally going to replace Mickey on the Wheel, and 2) Micechat was right about a second spinner going in the other Screamin' helix!

The entry area to Pixar Pier where Lasseter's Lair will be actually seems like a pleasant plussing up of this original 2001 complex. The new cupolas and trim seems like a good choice design-wise.

From the new Blue Sky Cellar model...

And the current state of construction with the new cupolas being dropped into place this week.

I wonder what caused the second spinner to get scrapped. There’s more than enough room for it in the helix, although it might affect evacuation routes for the coaster (I know there are a few sets of evacuation staircases inside that helix). Hopefully we’ll see the spinner added down the road.

Who said it got scrapped and not added into a future phase 2...

You’re right. But I guess seeing it removed from the final concept art while the Inside Out spinner (which will be part of a sort of “Phase 2”) wasn’t made me think it was scrapped. I hope they do something with that space eventually

I figured out how to change the identifier from "Rumor" to "News", and slightly rebranded the thread title now that it happened.

The next time she stops by for a chat and a beverage, I'll have to ask the neighbor lady if this means Blue Sky Cellar stays open through 2019 and 2020 to cover Star Wars Land, Marvel Land, further expansion, etc. But for now, it's all about Pixar Pier, as she mentioned it would be...
