5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
I can exclusively confirm that Ratatouille will open “eventually”.

I can also confirm it will be sponsored by Tomcat.

A hard won sponsorship. The bidding war with Truly Nolen will go down in the history books.
Explain to me?
Why wait to open a ride that's completed (saying it's done in October) for guests to come back? Why not open it and use to entice guests to come back? Especially in a park that's struggling.
I'm sure there is a simple economic answer that I don't know, but just curious.

I think the insinuation is that they don't necessarily want to attract huge crowds right now.
Also, opening one new ride alone probably isn't going to result in a massive change in the number of people who are willing to travel to WDW at this time.
I guess the ride itself wouldn't attract people to come, right now at least. Later in the year may be a completely different story. But another delayed opening may make people cancel trips booked later? We are going next May and I am specifically excited to see this attraction. If not open, we may consider postponing, again.
But the first part - if there are capacity limits in place, doesn't that negate the worry about huge crowds? I don't know.

I would be pretty surprised if it's not open by next May. If things are still bad enough that they don't want to have it open by that point, I think we will all have bigger worries.

To me that makes 0 sense. Uni was packed yesterday. It felt like March again. If their business is struggling they need more things to draw people in.

They purposely set attendance caps ridiculously low.

There are additional labor costs associated with a new attraction. With attendance capped, limiting revenue, you don’t want to increase your operating costs.
That makes sense.
Soooo, can't we open Remy and close Figment and/or Nemo to make up the cost?
(just kidding, don't throw things at me)

If they didn't people would complain endlessly about the lack of social distancing.

How is Florida handling media? I’m sure they want as much press as they can get as the countdown of opening the last of the slate of new rides gets started. I doubt they want a quiet opening. After this it’s only Guardians, a new show & Play! then Epcot will probably be stagnant for at least half a decade.
I also think opening a new ride will only attract locals, which has been the case already. No one is going to see a Ratatouille commercial and “risk it all” to fly to Florida during this pandemic. Ratatouille isn’t exactly a tending topic these days.

This is assuming that the pandemic will be over by October (which, let's be honest here, it likely won't).
No, I meant the ride would be finished by October, and that was just for example.

I think it is fair to say, ticket level for the general public is a matter of opinion. I gauged that opinion awhile about in a couple of polls that were posted both on this forum and on reddit. I used Disney's website and listed everything they had listed as an attraction with options for F(greater than an E), E,D,C,B,A, No Ticket. Here were the results:
I also have individual results for all attractions, but it would be too much to post, but if anyone wants to see a specific one, let me know. For example, here is the Living with a Land one (which I'm sure many will disagree with):

At least those people got AK right. The rest... Oy.
