Its nice to laugh talk about something not virus relayed for a change.

Any idea of what exactly WIR will be?

 

[Squishy]

Nah, too easy. They must've canceled some other bigger project that was in the works and went with this.

I know what it would have been. This sounds like a scaled down rehash of that.

I have to laugh to save myself from crying. How sad. (and typical)

At least it’s Something...

I guess it not fair to complain, but the whole "at least it's something" shouldn't be the gold standard with TDO.

true, fair point. This isn’t six flags

*sigh* Well, at least we had hope of a major change, if only for a little while...

If it keeps people out of the Peoplemover line, I'll take it. Sad to hear it will be scaled back from something better though.

So, it's not happening...???

 

[DreamfinderGuy]

I don’t think any of us expected actual news about this. Especially not in current times.

Just meant the major change that had been hinted at isn't happening, and what is now under consideration is a scaled back re-hash of what was originally going to go in.

I saw this permit a couple days ago, but the Reedy Creek Address finder totally failed me, it didn't find this address, but when you actually click on Stitch it is the correct address. This is one of Disney's really big contractors. It has no expiration date, so it get's a default one year, but that's not surprising since this is just for the demolition.

Nice to see WDW continuing to keep planning new things despite the closure. Hopefully the Covid mess hasn’t trickled into the 2021/50th things yet.

Oh yeah, for sure not.

How unexpected. Is this a positive sign of things to come from Chapek?

@realBobChapek Well?

While I hate to be gloomy, if the attraction DOES indeed feature guest interaction (gaming, as would make sense for WIR), I wonder how it will be implemented.

Guests love the shooter rides because everyone plays by themselves and against each other together in an easy-to-understand carnival game style atmosphere.

Guests seem to... dislike... MF:SR because it requires them to do more complex gaming while relying on others that might be better or worse than they are.

WIR seems to me an interesting vector that involve individual play, but perhaps something a little more complicated to understand. Unlike all the other examples, though, it's possible that people will essentially be playing alone, like the Magic Carpet experience in DisneyQuest.

Also, I wonder how much of this will be translated into the "Play!" Pavilion... I had thought WIR was going to be a huge part of that area, odd that they've decided to split the IP.

They put Toy Story in multiple parks
