Poppins was cancelled. SE is on indefinite hiatus. I don’t see them waiting till 2025 to finish the Future World walkways, that’ll likely be scaled back. Did they announce anything else? It seemed like it was mostly small stuff they could cut?
Any word on whether the Guardians of the Galaxy coaster has been cancelled yet?
I’m not an insider, but that’s not happening. It’s close to being finished.
It's basically done at this point, at least from a structural standpoint. Insiders have said it's on track to open next year.
Disney cancelled an entire resort after it was partially built. Why not a couple rides?
That resort barely had any site work completed. I don’t even think it got to pad, so not vertical.
The effects of this recession will be different...I believed we hit a bottom, already, but, as usual, the recovery will be painful.
Get ready for “sub bottom”, Chief...
I think the difference is a second half of a hotel resort isn't going to draw crowds/money in... Brand new attractions will do that.
That’s somewhat deceiving...the complexes where built somewhat simultaneously....the lodges on that side where much further behind.
Maybe, but the question is whether the cost of completing these projects and staffing them is worth what Disney might bring in if they keep sinking money into them. I could see the company reaching a point where the roofs are completed to preserve what's already been built, and then cutting their loses there.
Yeah, after Flight of Passage and Navi River Journey and Frozen Ever After and Slinky Dog Dash and Aliens Swirling Saucers and Smuggler's Run and Rise of the Resistance and Mickey and Minnie Runaway Railway and Ratatouille, and TRON, and Cosmic Rewind, and New Splash Mountain, it's like they're not doing anything. Pathetic!!
When you have bought most of the stuff and done a lot of the work you add more risk to pausing mid-construction. Pause for too long and your permits will expire, meaning you will have to redo design work to the latest codes to finish the work, and depending on the scope remaining that could include having to redo work. So there’s a point where finishing is cheaper than pausing. Pop Century, The Legendary Years was not as far along, mostly consisting of shells with rather traditional fit out that could more easily be adapted when the time came to finish them.
I mean. I disagree with you. The hype on social media for new attractions is unreal.
And yet....I gave you the prime example of why the theory may not work anymore.
You can eat those pom poms.
