Yes, I know I typed that incorrectly content hasn’t been filmed but still the point still stands about the coaster being believed to be done. With theming, and content being the holdouts.

5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
Permit dates are completely meaningless (and the BlogMickey guy knows better). They got a two-year permit.
James Gunn has stated very recently that he is shooting this year.
The end date of the permits could also just be just-in-case dates of another COVID shut- or slow-down.
I'll stick with our insiders over an overly long permit dates.

Mike is just making Hay with this story for clicks, he knows full well it's not going to take two years to install a few props to either show building. especially when all the major work, including the dome is done and even basically says so in the article but people dont read that far down the page.
Absolute unlikely, worst case, if Gunn has a four month shoot scheduled for the film, xmas special and ride footage and the latter isn't done concurrently and last thing on the list, we are still looking at being done by February 2022 +Post Production time which puts us into 8-9months from now. Which is more than enough time to complete the install work for an opening in Spring/Summer

So, what's the latest guesstimate for opening? Both from an operational/construction standpoint, and one that maximizes its impact on boosting attendance?

My guess is late Summer 2022

Who knows when this will be open. I think Disney’s only concern is the shareholders; they will open when it’s most advantageous to the shareholders when ever that would be.

So it seems likely that the build on this indoor coaster will take the same length of time as Universal’s full new park, entertainment district, and hotel - five years, including a pandemic halt. Is that correct?

The language coming out of Earnings calls is clear that pent up demand is going to continue to fuel their recovery, once theyre done with domestic pent up demand the borders will be reopened and theyll get us Europeans returning. If they were basing rides opening on the need to draw crowds, they would have opened Rat ride 5 months ago when it was ready.
I suspect they can just shoot for a Memorial day-ish opening of one ride, and then push the other into October/November time. The order of which im not so sure.

Who knows.. Because of pent up demand they sure don’t need to open it, they can continue to delay, putting off paying their contractors as long as they can…. Disney hates to pay its contractors….
My non-insider, I-know-nothing gut says this opens on or before October 1, 2022.

Oct of 2022 seems right to me
Will he be done before Cameron finishes the sequel to Pocahontas in Space?

I always thought it was more akin to Dances With Wolves IN SPACE!

I hope this opens for the 50th (some point of the 18 months).

I just asked on the beta version of Genie+.
It asked, "how much is it worth to you?"

I’m guessing it could open in the Spring if they really wanted to. But no rush it appears
