Here's an oddity: the laptop in the last scene of the CoP has been replaced. The old bulky looking one was replaced with a laptop from 2005 or so. How odd. Still totally blends into the dated future look of the scene.

Most likely the old one just died and they grabbed whatever was lying around.

So, what is the status for SGE? IT sounds like the replacement project might be delayed, but is it still on the table?

Well If the rumors about their replacing or updating the Speedway are true, watch them just re-open Stitch for 3 more years for capacity reasons.

That happened between July 3rd and today then as it was still the clunky IBM from circa 1995 on the 3rd.
Still planned. Bacislly what's proposed so far hasn't been deemed good enough.

That's good news in my view. I'll take quality over speedy completion every time.

I'm an international traveller and I usually spend between 2-3 weeks on vacation in Orlando touring WDW and *ahem* the other theme parks. Attractions like the ones you listed above are crucial in making WDW worth visiting, don't get me wrong, I love E-Tickets attractions, but I don't want to spend my entire holiday waiting in 2 hour-long queues to experience a 90 second ride. Rides like the PeopleMover help break the day up and are very relaxing.
Disney and the other company are going down this route of turning every attraction into an E-Ticket screen-fest and I don't like it one bit.
If a new E-Ticket comes to Tomorrowland, I hope they 'balance' it out with a new lesser attraction to help with the crowds, ESPECIALLY if they close the speedway.

Understanding you may not be at liberty to say, but not good enough thematically, not good enough capacity wise (always need "people eaters" ), not good enough "synergy" (need to sell and/or promote the latest movie/toy etc.), or just doesn't seem fun?

Agree totally. I think that those "break up the day" attractions are what are sorely missing from the other parks at WDW (particularly DHS) and all of them could use more. And it can't be scheduled shows because those are not really convenient to just walk up to and do, but it can be walk throughs, themed transportation, continuous shows, or just areas to explore (I'd toss the animal trails at DAK into these category as well).
I actually think that the secondary attractions that complimented the headliners are what really made Disney parks so endearing in their early years and I'm not sure leadership today recognizes their value.

On the flip side, we have seen a number of walk throughs, short films, etc added at DHS during for star wars and Frozen so I think they understand them. Epcot is almost entirely "break up the day attractions" and has the reverse problem.

Has there ever been an actual ride with vehicles in the SGE space? It's hard to tell from the aerial images.
Just trying to think of what they have to work with.
