Then why aren't they closing the attraction now for a July reopening? With all the obsession with synergy these days, a mid-2020 opening is baffling, especially when the movie comes out this year.

I am sure they will get reused in a parade or restaurant or shop.

I thought the idea was to have Imagineering pick up the developmental pace. Mid 2020 could only mean a more extreme makeover such as Frozen vs Maelstrom. Which definitely seems to have been worth the wait judging by the crowds.

Does this mean the ride will close before the movie opens or after? I'm hoping for after so I can get another ride in to see the AAs...I really hope the movie does well! I love the whole idea of the movie
You should have another year or so yet.Does this mean the ride will close before the movie opens or after? I'm hoping for after so I can get another ride in to see the AAs...I really hope the movie does well! I love the whole idea of the movie

Imo from the looks of the previews and plot Coco can tie in far better than 3 Cabs. If this ends up in 2020 then we'd have SWL, GMR, RAT and this overlay all in one year. The run up to the 50th is going to be interesting to say the least.

Fwiw, this would bring more changes than GFT did to Rio. The "exterior" portion should remain unscathed, but this will not just be a simple screen swap.

Gran Fiesta Tour didn't even try to hide the El Rio Elements. The first room still has Mayan, Toltec and Aztec set pieces despite what is on the screens.

Does the "overlay" justify the two years it will take? If it goes down next year and isn't open until 2020?

You know what's funny?
Do we even know when they would actually start work on the attraction yet?
Edit: never mind. Read martin's post

Closing 2018 and 2020 for the replacement so that means two years for an overlay. It's not awful but I'm just greedy wanting things to get moving. Nothing wrong with that, right?

Didn't that used to be standard for HS a long time ago? I remember Buzz and Woody were meetable at HS for a few years before being available everywhere else.

Where would they even find the queue space if this gets built?

Just out of curiosity, as this is still a bit of a ways off, is there a box office requirement for this to get the go-ahead or will it go ahead regardless? Or is it still too fluid to really know? I'd have to imagine it's why they aren't doing it at the same time as the film coming out, you know, just in case ...

I'm trying to remember the entire ride from beginning to end and trying to figure out how that would take two years to overlay unless a good amount of construction (maybe extension? Is that possible to make this ride bigger? Where's the mappers at?) and serious change/overhaul is planned.
Interesting, regardless. Keeping an eye on this thread.

Some show scenes with screens and the end with the three animatronics. Some scenes I guess I could see them replacing. But two years? I'd have to imagine they keep the larger room with the most moving figures but who knows? I was just on it last week. Figured I'd go on for posterity sake and that it was the only ride that was walk-on
