I think it's coming, but it's behind Moana flume and they want to see how to markets move in the next 6 months. I really got the impression from that presentation that they were gearing up for something huge and cut the announcement. Easier to get away with cutbacks on blue sky MK additions we aren't asking for anyway if something has to go.

They got to stop showing blue sky stuff as it’s too much of a disappointment when we get whatever they settle on after all the cutbacks.

I think the last time I saw a rendering that matched the real thing was Mission Space. I remember asking myself, “it’s gonna look like that?” And what do you know, they did it.

That’s doesn’t happen any more.

Today it doesn’t matter. Folks will show up to WDW anyway.

pandora and the flying islands is one for me, i really expected them to make them look lame if they even happened.

If it is cancelled i wonder how much damage was done. I know of a really cool building that had closed and some developers had grand ideas and demoed alot of the inside knocked out walls, repainted, ripped out alot of detail, put huge holes in the ground connecting floors. Had they finished it prob would have been cool, but they ran out of money and made the building almost unusable.

Now disney is a different thing, but i just wonder how much was done. I am sure alot of the backstage areas were gutted and anything remaining from the past that wasnt stolen was removed or destroyed.

The theatre wing (Cranium Command) was completely gutted. Whole structure emptied with the presumed exception of a service elevator. Dome was gutted as well. The Body Wars and support wings seem to have been salvaged structurally, the 3F grade was extended over the Body Wars simulator pits. It's after that where my information runs dry, I have it on good authority that the Body Wars queue was stripped of all props at work start but I'm unsure if they ever went the extra mile to redo that area of the building. I am insinuating that the MetLife lounge is intact, but I've yet to hear actual confirmation there. At the very least that floor is still there.

If true, that would have been done instead of creating Steakhouse71.

Penguin and I were sounding off on breaking rumors from that source that they swore up and down were things that were going to happen.

On the one hand, this was a terrible idea that would have been outdated from the moment it opened and simply added to the large, unpopulated, purposeless indoor spaces that define EPCOT.

On the other hand, this is yet another cost driven cut of an attraction that was announced with much ballyhoo several years ago and a failure to add capacity to a resort that desperately needs it.

A real win-win.

On the subject of Disney’s charming habit of announcing projects years in advance and then canceling them, Uni STILL hasn’t announced the new Minions attraction and restaurant even though both will likely open within a year and construction is very visibly under way on both. One resort sells attractions, one sells deceptive promises of future attractions.

I'm still salty over the proposed new indoor theater at Main Street announced at D23 2017.

A people-eating theater (several, really) seems like exactly what MK needs.

I'm surprised MK doesn't have that many indoor theaters for newer stage shows. Mickey & Friends deserve to host other stage shows besides only at Cinderella Castle (especially after the demolition of Tommorowland Theater) especially for Seasonal Shows (such as Halloween and Christmas).
