I was being sarcastic, this should not take more than a year. From the first pencil sketch of Disneyland to the opening was 23 months.

Building a pre-planned attraction, structure, etc., can be much quicker than extensively renovating (depending on the extent of said reno) an attraction/structure that is already in place.

Excuses, excuses…. I am already prepared…. It’s gonna take years… look at TRON, look at EPCOT..

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
Maelstrom/FEA is not quite the same scale attraction. LOL
And Ellen's Energy Adventure was completely gutted and an entire expansion building was added.

I disagree. It should be just as complex both ways, I believe. There are equal pros and cons to both.

There is no argument that both scenarios are complex however when you're building an attraction from the ground up all the factors are under your control from the beginning and the showbuilding can be built to your specific needs. However when retrofitting an attraction for a retheme you are kind of stuck with what you have showbuilding and ride systems already in place unless you are doing a complete teardown on the inside. In Splash Mountains case they have to work around the Flume that limits whatever ideas they come up with

Like they did on the return trip in Space Ship Earth, put some scrim up to hide the 77 or so animatronics, throw up some screens, change the music, tweak the outside and boom done.

Yeah....but they have a pretty amazing show building and ride setup to start with...not like it is a crappy ride they are going to redress and expect stellar results. They are starting with one of the best show buildings and rides in the park...this should not be limiting at all... it is a wonderful opportunity to do something amazing...

Sorry, I'm not really sure where to put this but when Disney world does a retheme or an overlay of a ride (Malestrom to Frozen) do they announce the last day that the ride will be in operation before closing? I really want to book a trip before Splash Mountian gets rethemed so I can ride it again and I just wanted to make sure Disney gives a hard date that it will last be open because I have never dealt with this before. Thanks
They announced the date for GMR and Ellen closing, and it was on merch for the attraction's farewell. I'm more than certain they'll announce the date for Splash if it ever happens

How can they profit off of hate?

Yea, it would be tough to bet against this. There are a few things you can bank on with Disney. Large price increases, up charges, bad IT and most definitely ubsurd construction time.

I still don't think this will ever happen in WDW. Companies bleeding cash don't close down there flagship attractions for years and drop tens of millions changing stuff that's already wildly popular.
I give it a 40% chance of happening.
Disneyland though, I could see it. And like I said before, then they can say "Well we did it. And wdw will come later." That later will never happen.
