I think we posted at the same time, yes my guess was that the VOID space is being re-used with an eye toward the AC IP being featured. As to what the experience could be...
Yep. I'm right.

I could see that…limited investment/cost
does two things:
1. Something cheap to ballyhoo
2. A bone to old fans who are rather cranky about the state of affairs and starting to get vocal.
I think I saw a semi-reputable sourced article the other day that said survey feedback for Disney parks were highlighting “too expsensive”
that’s more shocking to hit print than people think

Yeah no.
What they need is more S.E.A.
And looks like we're getting it too, in addition to a Disney+ show

This is why I didn’t let myself get excited. A virtual AC? I’ll pass. I have YouTube.

As long as it doesn't suck, which it could.

The T-shirt hasn’t even sold out online. Think again, aside from a few whales, AC fans are notoriously cheap

Do the 40-70 year olds who can remember AC want to do a VR version of it?

…that’s because they were 90% employees and 50% of those were college program
I’m not knocking it…if you were in your twenties and looking for fun…lots of bogeys

Doing AC virtual reality (although I think that's very unlikely and it just happens to be in the same location) or as an escape room seems like a total miscalculation from a business standpoint.
Make it a bar/club where you can sell overpriced drinks and Disney would be rolling in even more cash.

It was a budget albatross the first time
it was designed as “intimate”…which is a financial no-no

revising my guess...
S.E.A. themed escape room where the VOID used to be in DS. AC IP def can fold into S.E.A.
When you escape your room your prize is visiting the bar/gift-shop where you can purchase a refreshing Kungaloosh

I wouldn't necessarily think it would be VR even if it is in the Void space. It seems entirely likely that it could be a physical escape room or something similar, just themed to the Adventurers Club or S.E.A.. I think it could be interesting, but probably not really capturing what people enjoyed about the actual club.
On the flip side, I would think using the Void space would tend to rule out any sort of food/beverage service. Which I agree would be a bigger moneymaker. But I can also understand if Disney wants to avoid any situation where people are doing the experience for free/small cost by just hanging out and not buying anything. A paid escape room experience seems right up their alley.
1. Again, the guy who told us about the escape room also told us it's been abandoned. If a new AC was an escape room, he prolly would have said so.
2. The space in the VOID is most likely a void, with all the VR equipment sold in bankruptcy procedures. If the new AC was a VR event, he wouldn't be teasing the VOID is a void.
3. So... stop convincing yourselves that it's an AC SEA VR Escape room based on no clear evidence.

I think you were in the middle of pulling the pin on The Hand Grenade of Subtlety.
But it's what all the hip kids/influencers are saying is cool these days. Disney is just following the trend, like they've successfully done for 100 years. Wait...
