Do we know how much of Play Pavilion was installed and ready to go (or how close it was to being finished)?

Still insane to me that we got one abandoned pavilion, finally gutted out for replacement... and now said replacement sits unopened and abandoned.

Nothing as far as I know. They seemed to have completed most of the prior WoL interior gutting, but I don't even think that was 100% done and there was still a lot of basic prepping needing to install any new theming. Probably weren't close.

There were still a few hallways off the main lobby that still had a few flat decals left over from WoL. Though it's possible they may have just left this stuff alone and closed these areas off to guests like the old Imageworks.

The central lobby is all just bare naked concrete and metal now.

Yeah, WoL gutting was finished. Dome was fully gutted, the outermost walls of Cranium still have the wall carpet attached but everything else in there was emptied out. Body Wars is still sitting there mostly untouched aside from all the signage and queue monitors finally being removed. They put up some steel for the city facades but never actually installed them.

What a disaster. COVID-post Covid era Disney parks were the WORST. Hopefully something good goes in this plot of land eventually, wether in the gold dome or in it’s place.

Inside out.
I know...just kiddin'.....It really is a perfect replacement for Wonders Of Life and a popular IP they already own.... They could do so much with it... a playground of sorts, a major show, a dark ride, a spinner and food & merch venues...It would be brilliant.... of course it does nothing to address the EPCOT "neighborhoods" plan.... unless somehow a Health and Wellness pavilion would make sense next to Xandar...

I agree. I think a dark ride where you ride the train of thought would be cool preferably in the body wars space.

I agree. Inside out in wol is a match made in heaven. But I think the building is in a weird spot in the middle of play, and I’m sure they want something sooner and cheaper. I think the latest word on inside out was from moth on the rumor tracker, who said that what’s most likely to happen is an inside out show in magic eye next to figment.

In that case it better not move another inch closer to figment!
