First thing we've had in a while that's even remotely close to an update on this project, the flag with the pavilion icon has been removed from the front entrance.

I frankly didn't even know it was ever there.

Are they finally going to confirm that the project is officially dead and that it ain’t going to happen anymore, because Disney has been dead silent for six years by this point (at least Disney waited two and a half years for the permanent demise of Stitch’s Great Escape to be 100% confirmed even if everyone knew that) and everyone had predicted that this attraction won’t be happening anymore

There are plenty of cancelled projects over the years that they have not bothered to announce that they have been cancelled. They like to emphasize what is happening not what is not, famously.

I wish they did not talk about "what is happening" too early as they talked about the Play pavilion then cancelled it.
It feels like they talk about "what is happening" way too early a lot of the time, I especially do not like the blue sky renderings, mostly for publicity, then things get changed or cancelled.
Just don't tell me and make something great.

I don't consider Universal "Great", but I certainly understand what you are saying.I wish they did not talk about "what is happening" too early as they talked about the Play pavilion then cancelled it.

I think today the Potter lands they built in Universal Orlando, IOA, Epic are great.
There were things from the early days Universal destroyed and replaced were great like Jaws, Earthquake, Kongfrontation
Today F&F and That Minions shooting game, very bad.
Universal also "destroy and replace" stuff with worse stuff.James Alucobond

Universal has certainly got a lot very right, especially lately... Their immersive Potter lands and the new lands at Epic seem to be better rounded experiences than what Disney has built lately. Now lets see if Disney will continue their recent record of nice-but-not-stellar additions or if they will really do something compelling with the new lands and changes...

This poor Pavillion just can't catch a break.

Did you mean lands and not rides?
The two potter rides you have pictured aren't great. JP in Florida has been a poorly maintained mess (though they are fixing if now). I haven't been to Beijing (which I am assuming is the other JP pictured) but if so that ride does look good. Finally you have a land pictured for HTTYD which is an amazing land, but it doesn't exactly host a bunch of amazing rides.
WoL's flag being gone doesn't mean the building will be razed (although, it *could*).
It could be that whatever will go there in the future may not have the theme of "Life," which makes the current flag moot.

I hearby dub the Play Pavilion the Anti-Beastly Kingdom.
No one was looking forward to it. No one mourned it. No one will look back with disappointment it didn't happen. Already its planned existence has been scrubbed from public view.

But they're still trying to find out who stole the head of the Camp-Master Mickey audioanimatronic!!

Fortnite pavilion coming soon
Because of replacing all the roof tiles, they're now able to get the pavilion to continuously shrink!

Looking back I am kinda sad that it never came to be, mostly because it would have given Wonders a purpose again and was cheap enough to be removed for whenever they had the time and resources to do something better with the building.

I thought so at one time as well. Something changed my mind that I cannot really describe in detail here.I think today the Potter lands they built in Universal Orlando, IOA, Epic are great.

Today F&F and That Minions shooting game, very bad.

There is a FAR more obvious way to revive Wonders.
