She only screamed for help the first couple months of the new show. They reworked the dialogue to her telling him she doesn't need help.

Not that the change made the scene any better. It had 90% of the same choreography as the Peter Pan segment, but was 100% worse. Which is a wonderful example of the importance of theme and music in these things, and why a retheme like Salt Mountain is not a guaranteed home run.
I’ll also add that Peter Pan’s bright color scheme made it easier to tell who the characters were and what is happening on the boat. Plus the Tick Tock Croc following the boat is fantastic.

The length of the show is still at 27 mins.
Screenshot above was taken a couple days after the fire incident. Remains to be known if the show's length will be extended (or shortened) due to the reworked dragon fight scene.

iirc when the return date for DHS's F! was announced, along with it was the new show length of +2 mins.

Can someone explain to me, if the show doesn't have a dragon, why is this taking a year to come back?

50% of the times I saw the show the dragon wouldn't come out and there's a B mode with a projection of it instead. It's not like they needed to create a new B Mode.

I get them taking some time to repair burned infrastructure, and I guess some additional time to add the Peter Pan segment back. But a year? That should be two months tops.

If it comes back with the dragon after a year it makes sense but sounds like Disney confirmed the dragon is gone.

Agreed. It is too long, but a lot of it would be safety approval based to ensure it won't happen again as it could have been much worse.

After all the investigations, insurance, and clean up, they than decided to fully rework the villains segment.

Whether it should have taken this long is anyone’s guess.

Hopefully when this show comes back they fix the fountains and bring back the original score like in DHS.
As of last night the static fountains are still there on the left and right side. With a month-ish to go, time is running out to change them back to fully functioning moving fountain heads again..

This doesn't include any rehearsals and stuff where all the infrastructure must be finalized and such..

Well, hopefully a month is long enough, and if they do they should switch them to the kind of fountains that are used in Luminous and the overseas parks.

Surprised we haven’t heard any rumors concerning the show changes a month out of it premiering.

Do we expect a massive overhaul similar to 2.0? Or do we think it will be minimal except the confirmed Peter Pan and Maleficent scenes?

I believe Jordan Peterson (responsible for WJ, Magic Happens, Rogers the Musical, and OBB) is in charge of this revamp.

I could personally see it sharing similarities to the DHS changes — meaning reverting back to a lot of 1.0 content/score. That’s just my own baseless theory though.

I'd guess the latter and wouldn't be surprised to hear that coming up with and integrating a new climax was more time intensive than a lot of us think.
