Both GMR and EEA closed within months of their replacements' announcements.
It's been almost 2 years since the retheme was announced. The animatronics are in, evidently, a bad state. Are they waiting for the Tron coaster to open so that there's not a lot of lost capacity? That's all I got.

Lets not let facts get in the way.
They can be underground. But, many, like Avery Island, push the land above them up. So, they do create uprisings. Some have made themselves known by upsetting bridges on Beltway 8 in the Houston area.

Oh I agree. I am not saying it started with the pandemic. I don't think there is anywhere in my quoted post where I did? This has been going on actually since 2010-2011 is when it really increased. Staffing itself is rough in upkeep right now but you are right, it could be allocated if they really wanted it to.

Haunted Mansion in 2010 was in a very similar spot to where Splash and others have been going.

And of course doors on monorails and other pieces just falling off.
So you mean 2007? That's when The Haunted Mansion's last (and, really, first) major refurbishment was, and since then it's recieved a decent amount of attention relative to the other attractions in the Magic Kingdom. 2010 happens to be a year I didn't make it to the parks, but I doubt that show quality at the newly refurbed Mansion dipped significantly after 2009 and jumped back up in 2011.

No notes on the maintenance levels of the rest of the parks, however. We've seen some shocking lows at WDW in the last 15 years.

Haven’t read through the bulk of the recent posts on this thread, so apologies if this timeline was known, but Anika Noni Rose was on Live with Kelly and Ryan this morning and spoke about the redo opening in 2024. There was no clarity as to whether this was for DL or WDW (or both). Even though they’re not changing the track, this just seems like a quick turnaround given we’re nearly halfway through 2022 and Disney’s slow pace as of late.

It was rumored a while ago that a lot of prework was happening in warehouses (for both parks simultaneously) so that animatronics and set pieces could be prebuilt and ready to be installed when they shut down the ride. Nothing was confirmed, but if 2024 is the projected date to be open, Anika Noni Rose would know. She must be recording new lines for the ride (or could have already recorded them when they did work on the PatF show coming to Disney+).

a certain website is running with this as if it’s an official announcement for both parks. She didn’t specify a park?

There you have it despite bogus claims that this ride was canceled because OLC went from Tomorrowland Haul over Splash Mountain.

we can officially say its already coming to Anaheim and Disney World in 2024.
