I would hope that it would be moved. But I'm betting that it ends up like the glass blower guy.... taken to a farm outside of town.

Relocated at the new beer garden?

Exactly what I'm hoping for ^
It turns out there never was any train set, except the ones that were there in our hearts the whole time.

The real trains were the friends we made along the way

Gives the kids something to occupy themselves while their parents can get a drink and relax. I hope the trains would get an upgrade.
The year seems like the breaking part. Is that new info?
Edit: Nope

Man I hope not. It's such a fun time waster watching them go round and round. I was there and met a guy after EPCOT closed that took the trains off their tracks every night. Never knew they did that with them. Nice guy and loved talking trains with him.
Didn’t I mention it somewhere?

The only thing breaking about it was that there was no surprise that an attempt to to recover would be made.

Still a shame that they couldn't figure out a way to add an attraction because that would have been a great way to spread the crowds between Frozen and Rat. Was it a sponsorship issue or just Disney unwilling to foot the bill?
The pavilion is more than half sponsored. I don’t get it personally, but can’t say more at the moment.

At this point, it's odd to add any pavilion without some kind of attraction.

Ah, that seems a bit strange. Maybe they can add an attraction at a later date but then again I guess you can say that about any of the pavillions with room to build.

I would bet JBS and Havaianas being the main sponsors. JBS is the largest meet producer in the world, so they could easily have a Steakhouse.
Havaianas has been a partner of Disney for years - they were one of the sponsors of D23 Expo 2017, they have a store in Disney Springs and its flip flops are sold at Epcot.
Fun fact: JBS bought Alpargatas (the company that owns Havaianas) in 2015 and sold it in 2017. In 2017, when we had strong rumors of the pavillion being announced at D23 Expo 2017 the oweners of JBS were involved in a huge corruption scandal in Brazil and then sold Alpargatas.
My theory is that Disney pulled the announcement because of this scandal. At the time, @marni1971 said that "there was a legal mambo-jambo" and that's why the announcement didn't happen.
Then, in July 2017 JBS announced that they would sell Alpargatas. The sale was finalized in Semptember 2017.
I believe this sale has to do with the deal with Disney. Disney wouldn't want to partner with companies involved in a corruption scandal and maybe demanded that Havaianas wouldn't be related to JBS owners for the pavillion to happen.
Reference my own quote a few posts back, there are plans for an attraction. Eventually.
