Seems like a safe bet. I also think we should officially refer to it as “this thing” from now on.
It’s pretty clear they could do Play by the end of 2023 if they wanted to.
I assume we’ll get more info at D23. I imagine they retooled some IP choices with the pandemic delay.

It’s pretty clear they iced it in a pattern of bait and switch that’s becoming frequent.

If they really wanted they could have Play done by the end of 2022....

Based upon what we’ve heard about the content, they could have it done by May 1.

Well it would have been done in 2021…if they hadn’t thrown the brakes on it and now are “pacing”
That is the most inexcusable new trend of the Bobs era…slow rolling construction for “strategic purposes”
It’s part of the history of Disney parks: announce ride, build ride, finish ride, open ride. The people that are in the parks on the first day you can get them on it deserve to be on it. Period.
Now I’m gonna go outside and do some Tai Chi to calm myself down…

Y'all realize they can't open PLAY! with that roof!! Gotta replace it first.

Bob still searching for quarters to pay for that?
Like Mary poppins and the “headliner” ride in the Marvel land?

No building is safe until the roof has been replaced at least 6 or 7 times.

Something about PLAY reminds me of test track 2.0 now I think of it. They both have the same tron-esque, cyber aesthetic, but hit all the wrong notes with it.
Only difference is at least Test Track 2.0 has a decent ride underneath it's current mediocre theming that could easily be salvaged in the future with a new retheme. Play I'm not sure if it has the same luck.

Not everyone can be a fool that will praise anything

I don’t praise everything but I do remember when my kids liked meeting characters. This will be a helluva lot cooler than waiting to meet Buzz in the sun (and in more than one way). It serves a purpose. My only real complaint is that they should build a new simulator ride in the back.Not everyone can be a fool that will praise anything
Is that back building just going to continue to sit?

I’m sure it will have a use but I’m unaware of any guest use. Break room? Storage? I don’t know.
What is that? (i'm sure everyone knows but me)
