Not everyone is going to like it. But I'm very encouraged by the pictures, which far exceed the expectations I had for this project.

They've worked really hard on that fake rock... don't take it for granite!

Underrated message there.

Which is good, because I love it too.
Loved it since I first laid eyes on the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride as a third grader the year the park opened.
So yes... Rock, flowing water, lush foliage... Bring it on.

By the looks of the extensive construction site over the years, they sure are trying hard to build something.
I still think they are secretly fixing a sink hole

You don't close down huge swaves of a park down ( complete with horrid walls) FOR HALF A DECADE for rocks and trees. So we all got to hope we are getting something here.

It will be a nice place to get out of the direct sunlight while I check my phone for my next lighting lane.

Glad we're not just getting "rocks and trees" then.
Two years (at least) the lockdowns for which kept construction to a bare minimum even when it did restart.
Demolition - always time consuming - of existing structures had to be done before anything could go into the ground.

You're wrong.
1. Sections of the parks closed down for Cosmic Rewind, a reimagining of SSE which included at the time, reconfiguring the entrance to the ride, an ambitious Festival Center, a completely renovated mega-store and food court, and a general refreshing of the hub, which included JoW. So, no, your characterization that its all boarded up for rocks and tree can't be more wrong. Plus, a pandemic delayed things, and led to them changing some of their plans.
2. You ""hope"" we're getting something? You see the posted pictures in the thread showing the construction. You acknowledge "the rocks" and then you frame this as if we might not get anything.
This is your EU 'participation' all over again, as you deny what we all can see.

I am beginning to despise rocks.
Even Galaxy's Edge - essentially a huge part of it is rocks.
It's getting to the point whenever i see rocks i get annoyed with great vigour.

Between Moana and Galaxy's edge they are really getting good at making fake rock.

Hey, they can now blame the pandemic and the hurricane as the reason it's taking so long finish!

Excessive water delayed the Journey of Water...

You know, I had a longer post, but at this point it’s enough to say that the way Disney and it’s staunchest defenders exploit the pandemic is just shameless.
