DHS Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

The building has never had roof to AC units so I am not sure if they are relocating AC to the roof, or if the frames are for something else.

But a lot less than an actual fire scene.

That's what I was thinking, this ride is probably going to have a lot of projectors that need cooling.

Photo update as of Sunday, August 19, 2018. Since my August 14th posting (5 days ago), a new beige construction scrim has been installed around the original entrance to the Chinese Theatre.

GMR wasn’t so this shouldn’t need to be.

There's no need for a specific store to sell Mickey and gang stuff since they all do.

You're right Mister Penguin Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway needs Fastpass+

I've always wondered, but I'm becoming more and more convinced with every post lately that you are a bot.

I have another theory but I keep it to myself.

I don't think they are. I think it's genuine.

New aerial from Bioreconstruct. Looks like they are protecting the hand prints so they should be staying.

We are roughly a year out. Guests may have already ridden (I’d imagine softs) by 9/1/19.

Did they replace the tall, in-the-way-of-the-projection-show, palm trees with shorter ones?

I have a feeling once this thing opens and is a sucess, we’re going to see the Chinese Theatre on a whole lot more merchandise...dare I say park icon?

The palm trees in the Chinese Theater courtyard were replaced with shorter ones quite a while ago. It's the palm trees in the area of the old B.A.H. that still block the view of the projection shows.

Park Icon it's an old concern of mine. Hope all this updates bring some consolidated new direction.
