I think I saw a post talking about a sighting of a small crane truck in the Marvel expansion area. Maybe they are testing the height? Not sure.

Still waiting to know literally anything about what this actually is
Hopefully at destination 23

I’d interpret it as being similar to Shanghai’s Marvel or Star Wars Pavilions. Not sure if those exist today, but glorified launch bays.

Lowkey, maybe. I mean, it's "Stark's Expo" so yes I think it's going to be very similar to that.
Schedule for Destination D23 has been released and they have omitted the dedicated parks panel this year. I think what they are going to do is sprinkle in parks news in respective panels, ie. villains land news in the villains panel (45 minutes) on Sunday and news about HK and SH in the “Disney Around the World: China” panel (5 minutes).

This is really interesting! They should really do something like this but perhaps a little more bigger.

Isn’t that installation at Shanghai temporary? The one in HK is permanent so I’m assuming they will do a little bit more
Shanghai just feels like they are throwing some random stuff at big gaps they have in their expansion pads whereas HK has space limitations

Has it been specifically said somewhere that this is permanent? I'd assumed this was temporary but the Disney definition of temporary so would be around for at least 10 years.

It always seemed implied to be permanent to me, a proper extension of Toy Story land

It could be the Pixar version of the D&F playhouse, seems temporary but kind of permanent. The size of the land is around 3x of playhouse. If they can do a bigger walkthrough than the Shanghai one with more Pixar IP, interactive features and
meet & greet, I think it is a good extension to TSL. The land may be enough for a dark ride. But rather than getting a single IP mini land or expand TSL with Toy Story Mania, having more IP in the park maybe better for merchandise selling. The cost shouldn't be too high and they can go for the dark ride option anytime they want to in the future.

But it’s in an area that doesn’t have anything in it

This is what I initially expected it to be when it was announced but some people have grander expectations, not sure if it is based on insight or hope.

I just think it’ll be more than that because it’s one of only two easily accessible expansion pads the park has left
After they use this one they have one more big pad (east of grizzly). After that future expansion has to be a second gate but you can’t do a second gate piecemeal. Does HK really have the space to be filling its very limited expansion pads with temporary filler (I know duffy’s playhouse is arguably the parks busiest attraction but everyone knows it’s temporary)

Which is why this could be temporary before something more substantive?
