I tend to give them a pass for some things they announced before Covid and cancelled, but it's hard to take them too seriously with the Blue Sky stuff, which is exactly your point.

News New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

Now that Phineas & Ferb has a new series order, why not just put Agent P WSA back in Epcot and then use the newly-created Ducktales figs and that Ducktales game thing that was going into PLAY! as the bones of an entirely new attraction. Doesn't tie into EPCOT but it'd still be an addition.
Think PLAY! Pavilion is done? I wonder if they'll be using it's interactive elements elsewhere.

Probably not...I imagine Covid has severely limited their desire for touchables. But I know nothing lol

Pre Covid they were going to jam people in there with high touch surfaces and screens. I assume like each of their arcades, there'd be a bunch of things down at any given time requiring tech support to restart or fix. I'm honestly glad they canned it as the Pavilion would be better suited with almost anything else.
I think this is good news as well. Hopefully it will be something space related. Maybe a planetarium or something would be cool imo. I'd love that entire side to be outerspace themed but test track would prob cost a ton to remake into like a lunar rover indoor attraction. I'm just spit balling here

true I almost forget about that retheme, although thats not going to add any capacity compared to whats there today. And compared to universal or what we should expect from Disney to me isnt nearly enough.

How much has been done and spent on what they currently were doing? Or did they never start on the stuff inside. Probably a good decision as most of that stuff would have had a short shelf life from what we were being told, and im sure the touching surfaces issue delayed it, but that shouldnt be an issue now.

Since PLAY! is off, maybe they'll consider turning it into an edutainment pavilion devoted to health care, focusing on the human body, physical fitness, medicine and nutrition. It would be really cool if they added component attractions like an simulator that goes inside the human body or a humorous show about the human brain.

Kind of agree, though I don’t mind the screen dome idea too much as long as they just use the attached theaters as well for actual attractions.

Honestly, they should rework this entire attraction to now be themed to Big City Greens, now I know the modern DTVA shows(outside of DT, the modern Mickey shorts, and whatever DJR still has) don't get any park presence like at all(not even a show that popular right now like BCGs) and it would be out of place for Epcot, but it can be a cheap skin to the attraction that won't see the light of day, and Iger thought the voices of Tilly and Cricket were top notch

A big part of the problem for me was that the described Play! Pavilion would have made a lot more sense in Innoventions/Communicore (those buildings already hosted similar things once upon a time), especially since they weren't using the attraction space. It felt crazy to tear them down and then shove that idea into a pavilion space.

Are they still doing the pink road through the spine?

The "pink path" was apparently a flyover that ran through the foliage behind Journey of Water and over the pathway toward The Land as a more direct route to the Festival Center from the entrance since it was seemingly going to be cut off from the center of the park by a berm or some such. The plan was re-posted here and in several other places, I think originally sourced from Jim Shull's Twitter. There's really no reason for it now with the way CommuniCore Hall will connect to the revised symmetrical gardens.

Maybe get a Star Trek actor to direct the ride film?
