Nothing against our insiders here, they are all very well informed and provide a wealth of information for us all, but nothing is done until announced officially from Disney. And even then its not a for sure thing.Hahah I purposely waited until after the announcement was made today to respond. You seem to be very cautious with trusting any information unless it comes from Disney. We are part of a community here that includes insiders or just folks who have inside information. When I hear a rumor around here I tend to believe it (unless it’s ridiculous) as history has indicated they are right more often than not, at least the last few years. Through my life experience I’ve come to realize that where there is smoke there is usually fire.
Weren't some DLR insiders saying the suits had promised not to force the RotR opening during the Christmas rush?
I mean, the thing's likely to be about as reliable as Rocket Rods at first. Make the cheap APs suffer through all the downtime drama.
Well in all fairness they never stated both coasts would open ROTR "later this year". Just that ROTR would open "later this year", which is actually happening in DHS.You are right, they did say "later this year". Which is a mark they still missed.
I never trusted rumors until Mission Breakout actually happened. Now no matter how stupid it is there's a chance.
I mocked people who believed it because it was such a stupid idea. Part of me is convinced MiceChat made it up for clicks and Chapek saw and it said “that’s not bad.”That’s one I didn’t believe other or maybe didn’t want to believe. I thought signals had gotten crossed and that it was just going to be a temporary overlay.
I think it's just that DL has run into some tech problems as well as Cal/OSHA regulations and the Imagineering team has to wait until everything is sorted out with that before they can begin programming, ride testing, and CM training.Some stray thoughts:
Perhaps they decided it isn't worth getting Disneyland's up and running as fast due to AP block outs, lower attendance, and lower hotel bookings? Prioritizing the tourist heavy resort first, then hopefully that month head start means a smooth opening for Disneyland's version, so they won't **** off as many locals and AP's, as they'll have descended on the park by that time?

The word has been that Disney wants ROTR open ASAP in DL, so I don't think the delay is anything more than out of necessity.
Well, apparently there's only one ride programming team in Imagineering. So it's quite possible that they're figuring Cal/OSHA approval will be close to the time they're done in Florida and it'll take them 1.5/2 months to program the ride?Possibly, but them to only be a month apart... and avoiding the Disneyland Christmas season/block outs seems suspicious.
I have heard a lot about trouble shooting at WDW. I wish I could say the same for DL.
Not completely verifying this yet, just saying that it lines up.
User on Micechat PhotoMatt is saying he hears April 2020 for ROTR...
I heard a rumor that they pulled all the programmers to FL to try and open both rides at the end of next month. Don't know if it's true, but I hope not.
Winners...
Losers...
I'd like to clarify that I hope you are referring to Photomatt and not myself haha.
